os

A very basic bootloader & operating system, written in x86 assembly and C++.

I'm using this as a learning project, so it's not very functional.

Building

To build this, you need the basics (GCC/G++, Make, NAsm) and QEmu to run. The operating system is built for x86, 32-bit processor.

Using make, you can build by running make all. To run with QEmu using the default settings, you can run make run.

References

The basis for this project was formed as I worked through the book Writing a Simple Operating System -- from Scratch by Nick Blundell.

Some code was referenced/adapted from a repository based on on the same book created by Carlos Fenollosa.
