Welcome to FoolOS
=================
Disclaimer
----------
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
This is a simple and useless "operating system", with very basic
features, sorry. It is the fruit of my fundamental explorations of
the x86 architectures, 32-bit protected mode, interrupt handling,
memory management, scheduling, the floppy disk controller, networking
as well as VESA and a couple of other things.

Usage
-----
Attach the FoolOS.img or FoolOS.vdi image in your favourite emulator and
boot or create a bootable USB stick by copying the raw data in the
following way:
$ cat FoolOS.img > /dev/sdX
You will require some dependencies (as newlib) in order to build.
adapt libgloss/libnosys
uncomment environ.c and add stubwarnings for sbrk and exit
Build newlib with: --target=i686-elf to use the crosscompiler
Supported Platforms
-------------------
FoolOS is tested/developed on the following emulators/machines
* bochs 2.6.6 (compiled with: ./configure --enable-clgd54xx --enable-a20-pin --enable-debugger --enable-disasm --enable-e1000 --with-x --with-x11 --with-term --enable-smp) (add -lpthread to LIBS in the Makefile!)
* qemu 1.1.2
* virtual box 4.1.18
* Acer Aspire 1810TZ (Notebook)
* Q6600 on Asus p5n32-e sli plus (Desktop PC)
Features
--------
Please note that all features are only very rudimentary and buggy.
Some might be disabled temporarily due to conflicts or regressions.
* Bootloader (2 stages)
* PIT support / Timing
* PIC support & Interrupt handling framework
* PCI bus scanning
* Physical memory management
* Virtual memory management
* Multitasking
* Symmetric Multiprocessing
* ACPI / MP
* Floppy disk driver
* PS2 Mouse driver
* Keyboard driver
* VESA Support
* Spinlocks
* Simple Shell
* Simple Ext2 driver (read-only)
Todos
-----
* allow GRUB as bootloader (multiboot spec)
* set up os-specific toolchain!
* use linker script!
* more syscalls
* begin to worry about reentrancy of clib!
* enviroment vars
* improve shell.
* implement simple substitutes for things as cat, grep, less
* support some terminal STANDARD
* mutliple terminals.
* ELF binaries (also kernel itself)
* implement sbrk properly!
* Real User space
* implement more syscalls: fork, etc.
* E1000 driver
* Networking stack
* 64-bit
* ARM
* JVM
* USB driver
* Higher half kernel
* Web-server
* Port coreutils, gcc, ..
Issues
------
* Turning on some gcc optimizations breaks the kernel
* Assumed support for VESA mode 0x114 with linear addressing.
* Control of bss size!?
* Protect ringbuffer in syscall: disable interrupts on local cpu before spinlocking
Organization
------------
* screenshots/ - latest screenshot
* userspace/ - userspace related code
* boot1/ - 2nd stage bootloader
* boot2/ - 1st stage bootloader
* asm/ - kernel assembler code
* kernel/ - kernel source
* lib/ - some helper sources and includes
* fs/ - file system related source
* video/ - screen output (VESA and text)
* font/ - Fonts for VESA
* bochs/ -Bochs config files
