Welcome to FoolOS
=================
Abstract
--------
Welcome to the Home of the worlds most useless operating system.
Quick-start
-----------
Simply boot from the __FoolOS.iso__ in your favourite emulator
or __dd__ to an USB stick and test on real hardware.
Features
--------
* Booting with Multiboot (e.g. GRUB 2)
* 32-bit protected mode
* Logging to COM1
* Parsing ACPI and Multiboot Data (partly)
* Symmetrical Multiprocessing with LAPIC and IOAPIC
* APIC and PIT Timers
* Seperate GDT and IVT for each CPU
* Paging / Virtual Memory
* RAM image (ext2 read-only)
* Standard streams (stdin/stdout/stderr)
* Mouse and Keyboard support
* Multithreading & Multitasking
* Kernel and Userspace Tasks
* CPU Private Memory
* Support for ELF binaries.
* IRQ Handling Framework
* Finegrained Spinlocks
* Superfast Task Scheduler
* PCI Bus scanning
* VESA Framebuffer with fallback to a text-only terminal
* C-library for Userspace (Newlib)
* Simple FoolShell
* Snake Game
* Ships with other useless userspace software
_Please note that most features are only very rudimentary and mostly buggy._
Multiboot
---------
The FoolOS Kernel is following the Multiboot Specification (0.6.96)
providing a multiboot header and the entry point _start().
This in turn calls the C function kernel_main().
Building
--------
You should at least setup a gcc cross-compiler and setup newlib to
build FoolOS yourself.
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://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.11.6.tar.gz
Supported Platforms
-------------------
__TODO: update/recheck__
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)
Todos
-----
* Cleanup Virtual Memory Manager / Flush TLB (?)
* Mouse & KB processing in seperate task.
* Kernel Stuff Reent?
* Posix getdents and cleanup syscalls
* Writing to ext2 RAM-image
* Mutexes
* GCC optimizations (break kernel?)
* Ethernet driver E1000 / NS2000 & Networking stack (ipxe network drivers?)
* Unit Testing
* GUI / Window Manager (update\_rect, etc..)
* Porting (ncurses, gcc, binutils, vim, apache...)
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.
