MOROS 0.7.1

[vinc]

MOROS is a text-based hobby operating system targeting computers with a x86-64 architecture and a BIOS. It is inspired by Unix and ITS but is closer to a modern DOS at the moment in term of features.

What's new in MOROS 0.7.1?

• A userspace has been added to run simple programs written with nasm with new syscalls (spawn and exit)
• New syscalls were added for the filesystem (open, close, read, write, and stat)
• a FileIO trait has been added to support device files (/dev/random and /dev/console)
• A new command calc and a game 2048 were added
• The shell was improved with file redirections
• The lisp parser was rewritten with Nom and the language now support strings

How to run MOROS?

The binary can be booted from USB on a computer with a BIOS or from a virtual machine with Bochs, QEMU, or VirtualBox. Here's a quick way to do it with QEMU:

qemu-system-x86_64 -m 32 -cpu max -nic model=rtl8139 -soundhw pcspk -hda moros-v0.7.1.bin
