Norby

A hobby operating system. It's pretty okay. Here, enjoy a pretty GIF of a bug (that has since been fixed):

Requirements

• A cross-compilation toolchain targeting i686-elf, based on GCC.
• Regular old GCC would be useful, especially for running the libc test suite.
• NASM, for compiling some of the project's assembly code.
• Paver, the project's build automation tool.
• Python 3, for some other scripts.
• GRUB, because grub-mkrescue is used for generating bootable ISO images.
• QEMU, for running Norby on a virtual machine.

Repository structure

• grub/: Configuration files for GRUB.
• kernel/: The "meat" of the repository. Contains kernel code.
  • asm/: Assembly code for some stuff that can't be done in C.
  • include/: Header files for kernel C sources.
• libc/: Source code for an implementation of the C standard library.
  • include/: Header files for the libc C sources.
  • tests/: Unit tests framework and suite for the libc. Linux only.
