An introduction to OS development
5th April 2017:
This simple UNIX-clone OS is an approach of OS development based on James Molloy's tutorial 'aims to take you through programming a simple UNIX-clone OS' that I have choose to follow in order to understand the basics concepts of POSIX and UNIX.
If you are reading this, you should take a look to this very good web site :
http://www.jamesmolloy.co.uk/tutorial_html/
For now, the project is just a school work and a simple verbatim of James Molloy's work. But, if you are interested in developing the subject, don't hesitate to contact me.
This readme could possibly change during the next weeks.
- Remember that https://www.gnu.org/software/software.html is your friend !
- Download GRUB (bootloader) : https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/
- Install NASM : sudo apt-get install nasm
- Install BOCHS (x86 emulator) : sudo apt-get install bochs
You should then follow this steps :
-
Create a disk image for the emulator. cd /opt/local/share/bochs$ sudo bximage (prompts will guide you) sudo chmod 777
-
Remove the current 'ata0-master:' statement in /opt/local/share/bochs/bochsrc.txt and replace it with the 'ata0-master:' string displayed at the end of the bximage process.
-
Format the disk image using FreeDOS (http://bochs.sourceforge.net/diskimages.html) according to the bochs documentation. (http://bochs.sourceforge.net/)
-
Now start bochs from the command line.
-
0.Compile
''' cd src make clean make all cd .. '''
1.Create the disk image
''' sudo ./create_img.sh '''
2.Launch the OS with the shell script named qemu:
''' sudo ./qemu '''
3.When grub2 is started:
Select organix in Grub 2 menu entry.
