HikkOS

J4Fun unix-like i386 OS written on Rust, C and NASM.

Tech-FAQ:

• libc: Our implementation of libc: mlibc - microlibc.
• tech's and language standarts: We are using C99 and i386 NASM.

language-choosing policy

• ASM - we use it only when it is necessary or important to directly interact with libc, the assembler is welcome, but not always.

• С - main kernel and utils language

• Rust - only in critical places for memory, it is minimally used because it has a large number of dependencies embedded in the object file.

Build plan:

1. Bootloader (or compatability with existing)
2. Kernel interruptions and main functions, syscalls, minimal drivers kit etc...
3. PIC/USB ports I/O
4. VGA/VESA ABI library
5. Shell
6. Multi-Threading, other POSIX high-level functions

Tip

• - development has not started
• - WIP/IMPLEMENTED

• - BOOT
• - KERNEL
• - PORTS
• - VGA/VESA
• - SHELL
• - POSIX & OTHER HIGH-LEVEL STANDARTS

Philosophy

Minimalism, practicality and stability - in these few words, we can paraphrase our ideas.
