This project was made for our Operating Systems subject at ITBA University (Buenos Aires, Argentina).
AstleyOS is based on x64BareBones which is a basic setup to develop operating systems for the Intel 64 bits architecture and a provider of an entry point for a C kernel and the possibility to load extra binary modules separated from the main kernel.
It uses a modification of the Pure64 boot loader to boot up the basic system. The modification enables to load a greater payload than the restrictive 26k that the original allows.
This project needs the following packages: nasm gcc binutils make qemu.
- GCC's version > 4.9 required.
This will install make, gcc-5, build-essential, nasm and qemu into your system.
From the project's directory, run:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install make gcc-5 build-essential nasm qemu
Or simply run the installation script: ./Scripts/install-linux.sh.
Assuming you already have homebrew installed...
This will install nasm, qemu and a cross compiler (CrossGCC) into your system.
From the project's directory, run:
brew update
brew install nasm
brew install qemu
curl -o gcc-4.8.1-OSX64.dmg http://crossgcc.rts-software.org/download/gcc-4.8.1-for-linux32-linux64/gcc-4.8.1-for-linux64.dmg
hdiutil mount gcc-4.8.1-OSX64.dmg
sudo installer -package /Volumes/gcc-4.8.1-for-linux64/gcc-4.8.1-for-linux64.pkg -target /
hdiutil detach /Volumes/gcc-4.8.1-for-linux64
rm -f gcc-4.8.1-OSX64.dmg
Or simply run the installation script: ./Scripts/install-osx.sh.
From the project's directory, simply run:
make all
If you want to just build the project, run make build then use make run to run.
