# **Please note that the current code is undergoing a major overhaul!**







**PowerNex** is a OS written in the [D Programming Language](https://dlang.org).

The goal is to have a whole OS written in D, where the PowerNex kernel powers the core.

The name PowerNex comes from the words `power` and `next`. A kernel to power the

next generation of hardware.

## System requirements ##

- A 64bit processor

- At least 512 MiB of ram (less will probably work)

## Build Instructions ##

It requires a crosscompiler, which can be aquired by running `./toolchainManager.d`.

PowerNex is using a custom build system. For its code look inside `build.d`, `src/buildlib.d`, and `src/*/project.d`.

To use the following shortcuts run `source env.sh` in your shell.

- **`c`** - Removes the build files

- **`v`** - Compiles PowerNex

- **`b`** - Compiles and runs PowerNex in qemu

- **`bd`** - Compiles and runs PowerNex in qemu, with debug logs to qemu_debug.log

- **`a`** - Runs *addr2line* on the kernel

- **`al`** - Runs *addr2line* on the loader

- **`log`** - Runs *tail* on the COM1.log, and demangles and inserts colors for the entries.

## Thanks to ##

- Adam D. Ruppe - For his [minimal.zip](http://arsdnet.net/dcode/minimal.zip), which contains a bare bone minimal d runtime.

- Bloodmanovski - For his D Kernel [Trinix](https://github.com/Bloodmanovski/Trinix), His files for booting x64 really helped me a lot in the beginning.

- Lukas "zrho" Heidemann - For his [Hydrogen](https://github.com/zrho/Hydrogen) project. It really inspired and help me to make PowerD, the intermediate bootloader.
