anOS

Deprecated in favor of AmplOS2/AmplOS2

ANother Operating System, currently only designed to run on RasPi 3 and 4 (when the 5 comes out we will support it fairly quickly). x86/… support is "planned" (writing the boot code for raspis was already tricky enough).

Building

1. Make sure you have sm and Docker installed
2. Git clone / Download and extract a ZIP / ...
3. cd /path/to/anos/buildenvs
4. sm raspi (start the Docker container)
5. sm (build the image in the Docker container)
6. (optionally) Exit the docker container and test using qemu

Why not Rust?

Rust is a good programming language, but redoxOS already exists.

TODO / Roadmap

anOS already does some great things, but there's still a lot to do:

• Some File System (probably FAT)
• aport on macOS and Linux
• Memory Management, obviously
• Processes, System Calls, IPC
• Port a C library (probably dietlibc) and compiler (clang, gcc, lcc, ...)
• aport on anOS
• Port a shell (ash, dash, ksh, ...) and editor (nano, ed, that_editor, ...)
• Port doas, instead of reinventing the wheel with peb
• Port zsh and vim
• A temporary unstable API for full-screen graphics from Userspace
• Port genericdoom
• Display Server, Window Manager, SDL port
• Port modern programming languages (Dart (+ Flutter), Go, Rust, ...) and apps (that_terminal, Emacs, some browser (maybe surf), 90s games, ...)
• Networking
• Sound
• SMP
• x86/RISC-V/...
