DEROS

This is my handwritten kernel made with the guidance from osdev as an educational project. This is my second attempt at this because the first time I had problems with C and I burnt out on the project.

Requirements

• Cross-compiled gcc (i686-elf)
  • https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler
• Cross-compiled binutils (i686-elf)
  • https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler
• Make
• Qemu with i386 support
• Grub with pc support (or multiboot or qemu, didn't try which one it was)
• Xorriso (dev-libs/libisoburn on Gentoo)

Commands

• make run
  • Builds the project and tries to start it with qemu.
  • Requires cross-compiled gcc and binutils to build correctly.
• make clean
  • Removes all generated files
  • While developing this should be run each time before make run so all updates to the files get compiled.
