# Doors

The meaning of the name is the recursive accronym "Doors of Open Run-time Systems".

# Concept

The challenge was to write a 32-bit OS using C++11 aiming for paged memory, exceptions/interrupts support, and a keyboard driver. Then dropping into a simple shell for processing simple commands like querying CPU information, uptime, memory available/used, start/stop/monitor timers etc. Maybe being able to play a simple "Snake" game or similar.

Things to look into later:

* Floating-point number support ([IEEE-754](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IEEE_754-1985))

* Multi task scheduling

* Real-Time Clock/CMOS support

* Harddisk driver (supporting FAT32 or EXT2 to make it possible to install to disk and boot from it)

* Mouse driver

* USB drivers (general concept)

# Usage

The buid system uses Makefiles with the following usage (`make help`):

```

=== Doors Makefile ===

Development: build, test, tags, clean-tests, clean-tags, clean, clean-all

Emulation: run, run-iso

Distribution: iso, zip, tgz, bz2, xz

```

Before you `build` take a look at "config.sh". It will use the `ARCH-ABI-*` GNU programs, e.g. i386-elf-g++, i386-elf-as, i386-elf-ar etc. Right nown there is only support for i386.

`run` will build and use QEmu to run the kernel directly.

`run-iso` will build, create ISO and use QEmu to load the ISO as a CD-ROM. Note that to create the ISO it uses `grub-mkrescue` which requires [GRUB 2+](https://www.gnu.org/software/grub/) and [xorriso 1.3.8+](https://www.gnu.org/software/xorriso/).
