AndromedOS is a hobby Operating System named after the Andromeda Galaxy. It is made to run on the i386 architecture and is currently tested on QEMU.
AndromedOS does not support multiboot, and currently can only be loaded via the built-in bootloader.
This project is released under the MIT License. See file LICENSE for more
details.
AndromedOS makes use of the following dependencies:
- Netwide Assembler (nasm, 2.10.09 tested)
- GNU Compiler Collection (gcc, 5.1.0 tested, see cross-compilation)
- GNU Binutils (binutils, 2.24 tested, see cross-compilation)
- QEMU i386 Emulator (2.0.0 tested, used for running/testing)
- GNU Debugger (gdb, 7.7.1 tested, used for testing)
- GNU Make (make, 3.81 tested)
- An Unix Environment
Use make build to build the OS and make run to build and run it. OS will be
built as andromedos.img.
Use make debug to start QEMU and a gdb instance that will automatically
connect to QEMU and break after the BIOS initializes.
When using make to build AndromedOS, make will add ./deps/bin to the beginning
of its PATH. Instead of normal GCC and Binutil executables, these command will
be prefixed with i686-elf-. This setup allows you to use a cross compiler to
build AndromedOS without affecting the rest of your system. If you want to use a
compiler already on your system of a different name, make symbolic links to the
correct destinations.
A prebuilt compiler is available with GCC 5.3.0 and Binutils 2.26.20160125
