"Tifflin" Experimental Kernel (and eventually Operating System)

=====

This is an experiment in writing an OS Kernel in rust (http://rust-lang.org).

Mostly the architecture is being designed as I go along, but it will be written to be architecture independent (the current version is x86\_64/amd64).

## Design Features

- Runtime module initialisation with dependencies

- Clear user-kernel separation of duties

 - Userland owns the ELF loader, kernel uses a custom format for init.

- Object-based syscall API

- Kernel-provided window manager (yes, I know old windows did this)

## Progress

- Filesystems

 - ISO9660

 - FAT12/16/32

- Storage

 - (P)ATA

 - SATA (AHCI)

 - ATAPI CDROM

 - VirtIO Block

- Input

 - PS2 Keyboard/Mouse

- Graphics

 - Multiboot only

- GUI Apps

 - Login (Credentials are root/password)

 - "GUI Shell" (with background!)

 - Text Terminal app (with basic set of commands)

 - Filesystem viewer

- Architectures

 - amd64 (aka x86\_64) - Boots to limit of implementation

 - armv7 - Loads userland then crashes

## Build Dependencies

- `nasm`

- GNU Binutils (cross-compiled)

- GCC (for ACPICA)

- `pxelinux`

- `libguestfs-tools` (for creating disk images)
