# Writing an Operating system
## As a learning experience... Inspired by people like.. Linus Torvalds and Andreas Kling
## As a learning experience!
Inspired by people like Linus Torvalds and Andreas Kling

________________________
### The goal
Writing a hobby operating system to better understand the basic building blocks of any operating system.
________________________
### Operating System Technical specs/details
Currently the operating system is in the planning fase.
I hope to soon have the basic output and booting sequence with multiboot done.
The operating system can print strings to the
screen. The terminal/screen has scrolling so the latest messages are visible on the screen.
________________________
### Planning
[See TODO](TODO.md)
[x] Muliboot to kernel \
[ ] Printing strings and integer numbers (both decimal and hex) on the screen is certainly a must. This is one of most basic ways of debugging, and virtually all of us have gone through a kprint() or kout in version 0.01. \
[ ] Outputting to a serial port will save you a lot of debugging time. You don't have to fear losing information due to scrolling. You will be able to test your OS from a console, filter interesting debug messages, and automatize some tests. \
[ ] Having a working and reliable interrupt/exception handling system that can dump the contents of the registers (and perhaps the address of the fault) will be very useful. \
[ ] Plan your memory map (virtual, and physical) : decide where you want the data to be. \
[ ] The heap: allocating memory at runtime (malloc and free) is almost impossible to go without. It should be implemented as soon as possible.
### Other features I am thinking of:
[ ] USTAR Filesystem ( For its simplicity this is very likely the first filesystem the OS is going to support) \
[ ] Memory Management \
[ ] Scheduling (Unknown what the scheduling algorithm will be, as with everything suspect simplicity) \
[ ] RPC - for interprocess communication \
[ ] Sync primitives - Semaphores, Mutexes, spinlocks et al. \
[ ] ACPI support ( Or some other basic way to support shutdown, reboot and possibly hibernation ) \
[ ] ATA support \
[ ] Keyboard support ( must have ) \
[ ] Basic hardware recognition ( CPU codename, memory, ATA harddisk, RAW diskSpace, CPU speed et al. ) \
[ ] Basic Terminal \
[ ] Simplistic draw ( maybe ?!?) \
### Far in the future: \
[ ] Basic Window server/client
#### Support for more filesystems if I like the challenge in writing these ...
[ ] FAT Filesystem
[ ] EXT2 Filesystem
