# CascadeOS

[![justforfunnoreally.dev badge](https://img.shields.io/badge/justforfunnoreally-dev-9ff)](https://justforfunnoreally.dev)

Cascade is a general purpose operating system targeting standard desktops and laptops.

## Short Term Goals

- Good enough x64 support for QEMU (virtio drivers)

- Userspace, no GUI

- ext2 on NVMe

## Planned Features

- x64, ARM64 and RISC-V

- First class Zig support

- Userspace with GUI

- All functionality implemented in Zig either in repo or as a package, allowances might be made for things like [ACPICA](https://acpica.org/).

## Build, testing, running

### Prerequisites:

- zig master (0.14.0-dev.1816+20e03beae)

- qemu (optional; used for running and host testing)

Run the x64 kernel in QEMU:

```sh

zig build run_x64

```

List all available build targets:

```sh

zig build -l

```

Run all tests and build all code: 

```sh

zig build test --summary all

```

Run `zig build -h` for a listing of the available steps and options.
