Valern is under active development and currently not suitable for real-world use
(It can't even accept keyboard input)
Linux/Unix Enviroment (WSL2 works just fine)
Virtualizer or real hardware (QEMU, Virtualbox, x86_64 compatible hardware)
Just simply run make to create the kernel binaries which'll then call build.sh
to get the limine bootloader, which'll then call build_ISO.sh to create a bootable
ISO that you can use.
Currently, the following have been implemented into the kernel:
--WORKING--
Basic standard C ops
Basic memory management ops
PSF font support
GDT
--PARTIAL / BUG--
Shell
Interrupts System for keyboard
Keyboard Driver
Keyboard Input
TODO:
Bash shell
Filesystem (FAT32)
However, the TODO list will shrink and grow as the project goes on.
valern is a small operating system
it's built in C and a teeny tiny bit of assembly
it's using the limine bootloader and protocol
for fun torture, and learning! (also because i can)
i like how weirdly complex bootloaders and kernels are,
so why not make one myself?
what do you mean how?
...since bootloaders were quite annoying,
i decided to use limine, i didn't need to write a whole lot of assembly after that.
i decided to use C to write the kernel, it's good enough for what i'm doing.
