Not yet, because I am rewriting the multitasking subsystem.

It clearly says "Boot error: CPU is not 64-bit capable..." which means your CPU is not 64-bit. The V86 emulator doesn't support 64-bit mode and so can't run ExDOS.

Well, I've never read a real book about OS development. But I can recommend the OSDev Wiki and Forum, and of course the specifications of everything you need. I've used Intel's Development Manual Volume 3 as reference, as well as ACPI's specification, and some others.

Because I don't have a proper heap yet. And so everything takes up 2 MB pages.

That OS is also developed by me, but it was 32-bit and had design issues. So I redesigned it and rewrote it in 64-bit and here it is.

from the show-hn dept.

Hi! I'm just posting to announce the release of the source code of the 64-bit version of my hobby OS, ExDOS. My site is here: http://exdos.co.nf/ and my source code is on GitHub: https://github.com/omarrx024/exdos64 It's licensed under GNU GPL v3 and has many improvements over it's old 32-bit version. This one has a truly functional ACPI driver on real hardware, a window-based GUI, a real disk...

My site has apparently reached the view limit. I'll move to GitHub Pages, I'll let you all know when I finish. Thanks a lot!

My free web hosting is limited. It seems the maximum view limit has been reached. :/
