"Tifflin" Experimental Kernel (and eventually Operating System)

This is an experiment in writing an OS Kernel in rust (http://rust-lang.org).

Mostly the architecture is being designed as I go along, but it will be written to be architecture independent (the current verison is x86_64/amd64).

Design Features

  • Runtime module initialisation with dependencies
  • Clear user-kernel separation of duties
    • Userland owns the ELF loader, kernel uses a custom format for init.
  • Object-based syscall API
  • Kernel-provided window manager (yes, I know old windows did this)

Progress

  • Filesystems
    • ISO9660
    • FAT12/16/32
  • Storage
    • (P)ATA
    • SATA (AHCI)
    • ATAPI CDROM
    • VirtIO Block
  • Input
    • PS2 Keyboard/Mouse
  • Graphics
    • Multiboot only
  • GUI Apps
    • Login (Credentials are root/password)
    • "GUI Shell" (with background!)
    • Text Terminal app (with basic set of commands)
    • Filesystem viewer
  • Architectures
    • amd64 (aka x86_64) - Boots to limit of implementation
    • armv7 - Loads userland then crashes

Build Dependencies

  • nasm
  • imagemagick (for graphics)
  • GNU Binutils (cross-compiled)
  • GCC (for ACPICA)
