# ToAruOS (とあるOS) #
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a toy OS based on the POSIX standards. The primary goal of the project is for me to learn POSIX from the system side, understanding the design and constructon of an operating system on x86 hardware, and build a working implementation of the C standard library. Development of とあるOS was managed by the UIUC [SIGOps](http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/sigops/) until May, 2012. While the ultimate goal is a microkernel, we currently have a relatively monolithic kernel.

## News ##
|
|
|
|
The Terminal now supprots Unicode text. We also have an editor based loosely on Vim.
|
|
|
|
## Features ##
|
|
|
|
とあるOS currently supports a number of important operating system concepts and facilities:
|
|
|
|
* Processes
|
|
* Preemptive multasking
|
|
* Kernel threads
|
|
* Shared memory
|
|
* Through page table mappings
|
|
* POSIX-compliant file operations
|
|
* Pipes
|
|
* Backed by ring buffers
|
|
* Signals
|
|
* Mostly POSIX-compliant under the loose method
|
|
* EXT2 read/write support
|
|
* For IDE devices or SATA devices *operating in IDE compatibility mode*
|
|
* PS/2 keyboard/mouse support
|
|
* Of course, what doesn't?
|
|
* Graphical features
|
|
* We are hard at work building a window environment that makes use of shared memory
|
|
* Currently supports full-screen operation of graphical applications
|
|
* Extensive, ANSI-capable terminal
|
|
* Includes extensive compatibility with xterm
|
|
* Support for 256 colors
|
|
* Beautifully rendered anti-aliased text through FreeType (please see the licenses below for included fonts)
|
|
* Supports Unicode text (UTF-8 encoded)
|
|
* And dozens of other minor things not worth listing here.
|
|
|
|
## Current Plans ##
|
|
|
|
The current development focus for the project is networking support.

|
## Testing it Out ##
|
|
If you are on Debian/Ubuntu/etc., you can clone the repository and run:
|
|
|
|
./build.sh
|
|
|
|
This will install the required dependencies, build the userspace libraries and toolchain, build the kernel, and give you a working ramdisk and hard disk.
|
|
|
|
You can then run `make run` or `make kvm` to run QEMU. An additional `make run-config` command is available that allows easy customization of the emulation environment.
|
|
|
|
Currently, the only supported environment is QEMU, as our limited graphics drivers do not operate on most real hardware.
|
|
|
|
### User Accounts ###
|
|
|
|
The default root password is `toor`. There is also a regular user `local` with password `local`. While general system security is lacking, most system-modifying calls to the kernel require root privileges. When booting directly to a graphical terminal, the system will run in single-user mode and automatically log in as root. When running in graphical or VGA-terminal mode, a login screen is presented. When logging in graphically, the terminal window that appears controls the session; you can log out by exiting it. Most of this is temporary as the graphical environment is still under development.
|
|
|
|
## Dependencies ##
|
|
|
|
### Kernel ###
|
|
To build the kernel, you will need `yasm`, `clang`, and GNU `ld` (which you undoubtedly have if you have `clang` or `gcc`).
|
|
|
|
### Hard disks ###
|
|
You will need `genext2fs` to generate the EXT2 images for the hard disk drive.
|
