**termOS** is a 64-bit, UNIX-hating, bespoke operating system written from scratch in C.
|
|
|
|
Current Kernel: **Dewar** (v0.6.x)
|
|
|
|
## Philosophy
|
|
|
|
- **Zero Bloat:** We don't port libraries; we write them.
|
|
- **Custom Everything:** Why use ELF when you can invent **HOT!**? Why use GRUB when you can write your own bootloader?
|
|
|
|
## Features (v0.5.2)
|
|
|
|
- **Architecture:** x86_64 / UEFI.
|
|
- **Memory Management:** PMM (Bitmap), VMM (PML4 + Higher Half Direct Map), Kernel Heap.
|
|
- **Multitasking:** Preemptive scheduler with Round Robin.
|
|
- **Isolation:** Ring 0 (Kernel) / Ring 3 (Userspace) protection.
|
|
- **Binaries:** Custom **HOT!** executable format (parsed via custom `elf2hot` toolchain).
|
|
- **Filesystem:** VFS abstraction with CPIO Initramfs support.
|
|
- **Graphics:** linear framebuffer driver.
|
|
- **Shell:** `termosh`
|
|
|
|
## 🔥 The HOT! Format
|
|
|
|
termOS uses its own executable format called **HOT!**.
|
|
Because parsing ELF headers is too mainstream. HOT! is a flat, segment-based format designed specifically for the Dewar kernel loader.
|
|
Made only because ELF is *Not-invented-here*
|
|
|
|
## Roadmap
|
|
|
|
See [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md) for the detailed plan of world domination (or at least self-hosting).
