## How to use
To compile, you need:
- `i686-elf-gcc` for cross-compiling the kernel
- A system `gcc` for compiling the host-helpers
- `nasm` for compiling the bootloader
- `qemu-system-i386` for emulating (`qemu-system-x86_64` will probably work too, but that is not directly supported)

More information about installing a cross compiler can be found [here ](https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler#The_Build ).

If you run `make bin` , it will generate `target/boot.bin` , this is a binary file layed out as described in [the docs ](docs/bootloader.md ). To burn it on a USB drive, simply `dd if=target/boot.bin of=/dev/sdb` and the drive is bootable and contains an SFS filesystem with the files in `filesystem/` .

## Bootloader
The bootloader is self-written, based on articles on [the OSDev wiki ](https://wiki.osdev.org/ ). It's a single stage, ELF-loading bootloader in the most basic way possible.
More info in [the docs ](./docs/bootloader.md )
## Kernel
2020-01-07 14:00:23 +00:00
The kernel is based on [the bare bones kernel from the OSDev wiki ](https://wiki.osdev.org/Bare_Bones ).
