QuantumNEC

The operating system is made by a middle student.
It has been developed since 2023-1-1.
In 2022-7-16, I watched a video about developing a operating system, for learning some knowledge about operating system, I decided to make a operating system by myself.
I wish my operating system could run as fast as the Quantum Matrix. For the reason, my OS is named after QuantumNEC.

Main Language

Install and using instructions

Compile environment

Linux(Taking Arch Linux as an example)

Compile tools

• GCC or Clang
• rustup cbindgen

Other tools

• qemu
• xmake

How to compile source code

First, Clone submodules by git. (There are many submodules, for instance, bootloader: limine)

git submodule update --init

Second，write a limine.conf, enter QuantumNEC directory and execute the order like this:

xmake -P .

Notice: Qemu will be launched right away after all source code files have been compiled and linked.
After all of files are compiled completely，you will get a vm directory under QuantumNEC directory.

• EFI
  • boot
    • BootX64.efi
    • limine.conf
• QuantumNEC
  • micro_kernel.elf
  • SYSTEM64
    • ...
      

Running on the Virtual machine

qemu

• You must install qemu before the step.
• After installing qemu, you can execute the order to start.

xmake -b run

Running on the Physical machine

• Format your U disk or Hard disk by fat32.
• copy all of files in the vm directory to your U disk or Hard disk.

Reference

• Modern bootloader [limine]
• Very good terminal [os-terminal]
• format library [fmt-lib]
