# MOROS: Obscure Rust Operating System
MOROS is a hobby operating system written in Rust by [Vincent Ollivier][0].
It targets computers with a x86-64 architecture and a BIOS, so mostly from 2005
to 2020, but it also runs well on most emulators (Bochs, QEMU, and VirtualBox).
This project started from the [seventh post][1] of the second edition of
[Writing an OS in Rust][2] by Philipp Oppermann and by reading the
[OSDev wiki][3] along with many open source kernels.

## Features
- External bootloader (using [bootloader][4])
- x86 CPU support (using [x86_64][5])
- Hardware interrupts (using [pic8259][6])
- PS/2 Keyboard with customizable layout (using [pc-keyboard][7])
- VGA Text mode with customizable font and color palette
- Serial output (using [uart_16550][8])
- Paging
- Heap allocation (using [linked_list_allocator][9])
- ACPI shutdown (using [acpi][10] and [aml][11])
- RTC clock
- PCI devices
- ATA PIO mode
- Random number generator (using [rand_hc][12])
- Intel PRO/1000, RTL8139, and AMD PCNET network cards
- DHCP/IP/TCP/UDP/DNS/HTTP network protocols (using [smoltcp][13])
- Basic [filesystem](doc/filesystem.md)
- Basic [shell](doc/shell.md)
- Basic [text editor](doc/editor.md)
- Basic [lisp](doc/lisp.md) interpreter
- Basic userspace for NASM and Rust programs
- Some file and [network](doc/network.md) commands
- Some [games](doc/games.md)
## Documentation
Documentation is available [here](doc/index.md)
## Setup
You will need `git`, `gcc`, `make`, `curl`, `qemu-img`,
and `qemu-system-x86_64` on the host system.
Clone the repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/vinc/moros
$ cd moros
Install the required tools with `make setup` or the following commands:
$ curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh -s -- -y --default-toolchain none
$ rustup show
$ cargo install bootimage
## Usage
Build the image to `disk.img`:
$ make image output=video keyboard=qwerty
Run MOROS in QEMU:
$ make qemu output=video nic=rtl8139
Run natively on a x86 computer by copying the bootloader and the kernel to a
hard drive or USB stick (but there is currently no USB driver so the filesystem
will not be available in that case):
$ sudo dd if=target/x86_64-moros/release/bootimage-moros.bin of=/dev/sdx
MOROS will open a console in diskless mode after boot if no filesystem is
detected. The following command will setup the filesystem on a hard drive,
allowing you to exit the diskless mode and log in as a normal user:
> install
**Be careful not to overwrite the hard drive of your OS when using `dd` inside
your OS, and `install` or `disk format` inside MOROS if you don't use an
emulator.**
## Tests
Run the test suite in QEMU:
$ make test
