A minimal 16-bit operating system written in pure x86 assembly.
- Two stage bootloader, first stage loads rest of the code from the disk
- Text output
- Text input
- File system like FAT12 or Ext2
- Executing programs from the file system
Requirements: A working version of NASM is required.
Building the project can be done by running ./scripts/build.sh (Unix)
or .\scripts\build.bat (Windows) scripts. This will produce a file called
meiji.bin.
If qemu is installed and the qemu-system-i386 command is available you can also run
./scripts/run.sh (Unix) or .\scripts\run.bat (Windows) to run the OS in an enumator.
Otherwise the resulting meiji.bin file can be used as a floppy disk image in other emulators or even
actual computers (not tested).
