PlatiniumOS

Thank you, Philipp Oppermann for an amazing tutorial on how to write an OS in Rust!

PlatiniumOS is an operating system written in Rust. I use it to learn how operating systems work. I followed blog_os tutorial while writing it, but I added a few features like a shell. I want it to be easily expandable (at this moment, a lot of code related to keyboard input is tightly coupled with the input handler, which doesn't scale well) and have support for networking and files.

Goals

[ ] Networking

[ ] Modularity

[ ] Filesystem

[ ] Shell

[ ] Hier support

Running

To run PlatiniumOS you need Rust toolchain.

First, you need to install dependencies using cargo install.

Now you can run it with cargo run.

Because it is majorly from Philipp's tutorial, you can check his tutorial for more information.

Shell

Shell currently support only a few commands: help, color, set, calc, version. You can learn more about them using help command. Shell also support history (you move through it using arrow keys). Variables can be referred using $ sign, for example $var. Using $() you can interpolate output of other command inside a command. For example, echo $(calc 2 + 2) will print 4.
