Abstract:

Operating systems have a crucial responsibility in hardware management and offering a reliable interface for software running. The project is dedicated to the development and production of a custom lightweight OS kernel that is entirely built from the ground up, to comprehend low-level system architecture and main kernel mechanisms. The kernel adheres to the Multiboot standard and is launched by GRUB, which helps it work with other popular emulators like QEMU and VirtualBox. The project deals with the implementation of core parts like memory management, interrupts handling, and providing a very small, terminal-based user interface for executing basic file operations and commands.
