42_KFS

Features

• Modular Architecture: The project is organized into multiple kernel versions, each implementing different functionalities or optimizations.
• x86 Architecture: The kernel is designed to run on the x86 architecture, targeting the i386 instruction set.
• GRUB Bootloader Integration: The kernels are bootable using the GRUB bootloader, making them suitable for testing on real hardware or virtual machines.
• Assembly and C Programming: KFS utilizes both assembly language and C programming for implementing low-level functionalities and higher-level features.

Getting Started

Follow these instructions to get a copy of the project up and running on your local machine.

Prerequisites

• QEMU emulator
• NASM assembler
• GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)
• GRUB bootloader utilities (grub-mkrescue, grub-file)
• Xorriso

Installing Prerequisites with apt-get

sudo apt-get install qemu nasm gcc grub2-common xorriso

Installing Prerequisites with pacman

sudo pacman -S qemu nasm gcc grub xorriso

With these tools installed, you can simply run make to build the project, and everything should work seamlessly.

make # make all the KFSs

make KFS-1 # only make KFS1

make iso # only make the iso

make run # execute qemu booting all KFSs

make re # fclean and compile

make clean # clean only objs

make fclean # clean + clean iso and bin
