Welcome to FoolOS
=================

Disclaimer
----------
THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS.
This is a simple and useless "operating system", with a very basic set
of features. It is the fruit of my fundamental explorations of the x86
architecture and operating system design.

Prequisites
-----------
GCC CROSS-COMPILER (i686-elf)
https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler (18 AUG 2018)
ftp://ftp.fu-berlin.de/unix/languages/gcc/releases/gcc-8.2.0/gcc-8.2.0.tar.gz
https://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.31.1.tar.gz
NEWLIB
https://wiki.osdev.org/Porting_Newlib (18 AUG 2018)
ftp://sourceware.org/pub/newlib/newlib-3.0.0.20180802.tar.gz
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.68.tar.gz
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.11.6.tar.gz
Usage
-----
Use the FoolOS.iso in your favourite emulator or `dd` to an usb stick
and test on real hardware.
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!)
* bochs 2.6.8 (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)
* 4790K on Asus (Desktop PC)
Features
--------
We have (or had) 32-bit protected mode, interrupt handling,
memory management, scheduling, a floppy disk controller, mouse
as well as VESA and a couple of other things. networking is a big goal.
Please note that all features are only very rudimentary and buggy.
Some might have been disable (temporarily) due to conflicts or regressions.
* ELF binaries
* PIT support / Timing
* PIC support & Interrupt handling framework
* Physical memory management
* Virtual memory management
* Multitasking
* Keyboard driver
* Spinlocks
* Simple Shell
* Simple Ext2 driver (read-only)
Fetures are under this line are currently disabled / not developed:
* Bootloader (2 stages)
* VESA Support
* PS2 Mouse driver
* Floppy disk driver
* ACPI / MP
* Symmetric Multiprocessing
* PCI bus scanning
Todos
-----
* check 16bit stack alignment before all calls from asm
* put boot code for application processors in kernel image
* Porting (ncurses, gcc, binutils, vim, apache...)
* Support some TTY standard (xterm)
* /dev/console
* /dev/kb
* E1000 driver (or some other easy network card driver) maybe NS2000 better?
* Networking stack
* GUI
Issues
------
sbrk()
ESP collisions!?
TSS-ESP0?
kbfree()
pg_directory alloc
implement posix(?) getdents instead of our own readdir.
Turning on some gcc optimizations breaks the kernel. (need debug so go for ELF!)
Assumed support for VESA mode 0x114 with linear addressing. (let the user select)
fixed size of process images!
