machina x86Lightweight Kernel and Operating System for x86Machines(32bit)

Machina is a lightweight kernel and operating system designed for x86 machines (32-bit). It is fast to build, simple, and scalable. Currently under development, Machina is not yet usable but aims to provide a graphical-mode CLI with GUI support. Key features include:

• Multi-threading support under 32-bit protected mode

• Kernel with virtual memory and memory protection (read/write)

• System calls (Kernel API) for user-mode applications

• Bootable CD-ROM image with PCI and DHCP self-configuration support

• TCP/IP network stack under open-source licensing

Required tools:

• GNU/Linux environment

• GNU C Compiler 2.7 or later (other versions and compilers not tested)

• genisoimage

To build and create the ISO image on your machine, clone the repository and enter the following command in the root directory:

make iso

Then, to run the OS using qemu, simply execute the following script:

./run.sh
