Introduction

EvoOS is an ambitious project aimed at creating a versatile operating system that can run seamlessly on both desktop and mobile devices. It features a custom kernel, a unique user interface, and optimized performance for various hardware configurations. EvoOS takes reference from Linux and other modern operating systems to incorporate best practices and proven technologies.

Features

• Custom kernel with modular design
• Support for both desktop and mobile environments
• Advanced memory management and process scheduling
• Custom filesystem for efficient storage management
• Basic device drivers for essential hardware components
• Command-line shell for interacting with the system
• Graphical user interface for desktop and mobile

Getting Started

Prerequisites

To build and run EvoOS, you need the following tools and libraries installed on your development machine:

• GCC cross-compiler (e.g., i386-elf-gcc)
• GNU Make
• QEMU (for emulation)
• Git

Building EvoOS

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/VishwamAI/EvoOS.git
   cd EvoOS

2. Set Up the Cross-Compiler: Ensure you have a cross-compiler installed. If not, you can set it up using the following commands:

   sudo apt-get install gcc gcc-multilib build-essential
   wget https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/binutils/binutils-2.34.tar.gz
   tar -xzf binutils-2.34.tar.gz
   cd binutils-2.34
   ./configure --target=i386-elf --disable-nls --disable-werror
   make
   sudo make install

3. Build the Kernel:

   make

Running EvoOS

You can run EvoOS using QEMU for testing and development:

qemu-system-i386 -kernel bin/kernel.bin
