Fleurix

About

A prototype Unix-like kernel.

It contains 37 system calls, 7000 lines of C, over 200 lines of assembly, developed in a bochs environment. Admittedly, it can't yet shed the label of being a "toy", but it has accomplished its design goal, which is to get it running :)

It has:

A basic process management with fork(), exec(), exit(), wait(), signal handlings, and so on. Support a.out executable format.
A pure paging memory management with copy-on-write and demand paging. Support 4GB of address space for each process, sharing 128MB of kernel address space.
A simple minixv1 fs implementation. It's simple, and it can takes advantage of tools under Linux such as mkfs.minix, fsck.minix, etc.
A simple kmalloc().
A simple terminal.

Delayed yet :(

not have pipes.
not support swap.
not POSIX yet.
not support hard disk partitioning.
only supports up to 128MB of physical memory.
