# iceOS
|
|
iceOS is a x86 monolithic kernel written in C from scratch.
|
|
This project doesn't aim to be a fully functional operating system
|
|
with tons of drivers and graphical applications, it's just a learning tool to teach myself concepts like Operating Systems, Computer Architecture and Digital Electronics.
|
|
|
|
## Installation
|
|
### Requirements
|
|
Before generating an ISO you have to compile a [cross compiler](https://wiki.osdev.org/GCC_Cross-Compiler) and you also have to install those packets:
|
|
|
|
- nasm
|
|
- bochs
|
|
- grub
|
|
- mtools(if you are on Arch Linux)
|
|
|
|
Then you can run those commands:
|
|
1. Type `./build.sh` to compile the system and to create an ISO
|
|
2. Type `make run` to start it in QEMU or `make bochs` to start it with bochs(only for debug purposes).
|
|
|
|
