Expectation vs Reality

Expectation

Aura OS is to be designed as a basic OS that have a simple GUI and command line, Eventually i would like to introduce my own application file and array of applications.

Reality

In reality, building an os isnt a simple thing to do, this will be a long term goal of mine, it wont have regular updates, just when i have the time to work on it, amongst my other projects, and i will post updates to the blog here whenever i implement an update.

Features

  • Supports GRUB 2.06 Multiboot 2
  • Supports VGA TUI

Building the OS

Requirements

This specification is purely based on my current situation and i am aware you could most likely do it cross-platform so long as you have the required software installed - this will be updated and confirmed as i test cross-platform.

Build

To build Aura OS, i have implemented the vscode launch.json file preset with a number of tasks.

  • WSL - Build: this is used to build the kernel, is uses WSL2 to compile the sourcecode into raw binary files in /out/raw.
  • WSL - ISO: This builds the OS files from /out/raw into an ISO file and outputs it to /out/iso.
  • WSL - Clean: The Clean function removes all of the Temporary files and the output files completely
  • WSL - Clear: Similar to clean, it clears out all of the temporary files within the /src/ folder, but leaves all of the output files
  • Windows - Launch: This will be executed completely in windows and it will launch the ISO file from within /out/iso/ that matches the version within the VERSION file in the source root in QEMU. It gets QEMU from the C:\Program Files\qemu\ directory.
