Piquant
|
|
====

Piquant is a little toy operating system I'm building.
|
|
|
|
Why?
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
Because it's fun. Don't you like to have fun? Ogre.
|
|
|
|
What does it do?
|
|

Right now, not much of anything at all. It boots from a 1.44mB floppy disk, throws some text to the screen, and enters a primitive REPL (where you can do nothing but display a help message, HALT the machine, or RESET the machine).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I think I'm going to expand the basic REPL into a BASIC interpreter, just like the classic machines of the 80s. "Operating System? Oh, you mean the BASIC ROM, right?" :)
|
|
|
|
How can I run it?
|
|

You have to build it to run it. To build it, you need:
|
|
|
|
* bcc (bruce's c compiler - check your OS's package repositories)
|
|
* nasm
|
|
* gnu make
|
|
* ld86, objdump86, as86
|
|
|
|
To run it, you can use anything, but the makefile assumes you have 'bochs' installed.
|
|
|
|
make clean test
|
|
|
|
This will rebuild all of the sources and fire up the bochs emulator. Have fun. |
