This repository contains a simple OS code.
To assemble and run the OS, you'll need the following:
- NASM (Netwide Assembler): An assembler for x86 assembly language.
- QEMU (Quick EMUlator): A virtual machine emulator.
- Cross Compile GCC. See GCC Cross-Compiler for more information.
-
Clone the repository and navigate to the project directory.
-
Build the OS code:
sudo chmod +x ./build.sh # Grant exec permission ./build.sh -
Run the OS using QEMU:
qemu-system-x86_64 -hda ./bin/os.bin
This command runs QEMU and boots the virtual machine from the
os.binfile.
- Feel free to explore and modify the code to add additional functionality or experiment with different features.
-
Make sure to use appropriate versions of NASM and QEMU that are compatible with your system.
-
The code is intended to be run as a boot sector and assumes that it will be loaded into memory address 0x7C00. Running it directly on a host operating system may have unintended effects.
