Exylus

Exylus is a hobby operating system which I'm writing because I'm bored and want a massive project to take up all the time from my next few semesters. The kernel is multiboot compliant and can be boot up using GNU GRUB.

Build Instructions

Generating exylus.bin

1. Setup a GCC Cross Compiler. Go through this link regarding the process: http://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler

2. Install make and QEMU emulator (this is required to run the operating system).

3. Modify the Makefile and change the values of AS and CC to point to your locally setup cross-compiler.

4. Compile the source code.

   $ make
   

5. Run the operating system.

   $ make run
   

Generating exylus.iso (thanks to doztrock)

1. After follwing the above instructions, do

   $ make iso
   

2. And run the iso with

   $ make run-iso
