The Apollo Project
(C) 2013 - 2021 Primis Computers (Allie Sargente et al)
Requirements:
This is a kernel project for x86 Hardware. Current compilation needs:
- GNU Make (Or Compatible)
- NASM, The Netwide Assembler
- GCC
The kernel is written in X86-Assembly and ANSI-C. We are currently working on making it as portable as possible.
This software is licensed under the MIT License. (see License)
Supported Architectures:
Currently, only IBM-PC Compatible 486+ PC's are targeted, however this will change with time.
Notable Features to Consider:
This kernel is in development, and is therefore subject to major changes. The API is in a state of flux. If developing applications, stick to functions from the standard c library. All others may be depreciated / removed without notice.
History:
This kernel descends from several failed kernel projects;
- ScorchOS; by Bob Moss and Nicholas Sargente. Circa 2010
- Mercury/SaturnOS; by Brandon Cornell and Nicholas Sargente. Circa 2012
- Apollo Kernel Project; Circa 2009-2011. Nicholas Sargente.
This kernel takes base code from Bkerndev and James Molloy's Tutorials:
