The purpose of this repository is to provide an access point/portal to various commonly used resources in my own OS Development projects, that can be easily accessed or used across various projects.
Overtime it will have GRUB template disk images added, toolchain build scripts, and various other useful scripts related to generic OS Dev.
The build scripts all assume a bash environment, and will only build GCC-4.9 and binutils-2.24.
It is very simple to use the script. By default the script will run with default options matching the limitations mentioned previously.
./prepare
Get help on how to use the prepare script beyond default configuration
./prepare --help
./image is a script that based on the parameters it is given will download one of the template disk images available in the repo. Currently it is limited to a FAT12, Floppy Disk image with GRUB 0.94 installed.
This script is slightly more complex to launch, and should be embedded into another shell script that calls it automatically.
PROJ_ROOT=`pwd`
URL="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tjhancocks/osdev-support"
URL="${URL}/master/image"
SRC="$(curl -fsSL ${URL})"
sh -c "${SRC}" -- --o="${PROJ_ROOT}/template-disk.img"
This will download the image script from the repo execute it and pass it the --o flag detailing where the disk image template should be placed.
The script will currently make no attempt to test if the environment its running in is valid. What it will do is test to see if you already have the requested tools installed. If you do, it will exit early.
