Looking for a kernel developing teammate

Hey everyone! Feeling a bit like a lone wolf working on this kernel project... I'm looking for a teammate, or even just one awesome person, to join me in this adventure! I'm working on developing a kernel, and while I'm super passionate about it, juggling everything myself is getting tough. I've got so many cool features I want to add and drivers to implement, but it's a lot for one person.

So, if you're into kernel development and looking for a project to contribute to, please reach out in the comments! We can connect on Discord or Telegram. Let's build something amazing together!

Kernel development update! 2025-01-18

Hey fellow devs!

I'm excited to share my latest progress on building a homemade kernel from scratch using C and assembly.

Recently, I've made some significant strides in improving VGA support. I've fixed VGA and added a substantial number of registers, which provides much more flexibility in managing output. This update also includes a new vga.h header file, making it easier to write text to the screen. 💻

My GitHub repository has also been updated to reflect these changes. 🛠️ The netdev.h file and a few others had fallen behind, but everything is now up-to-date. Take a look and let me know what you think! 👀

If you're interested in following my development progress or have any questions, I'd love to hear from you. You can find me on Telegram: @Ion_Kernel 🇷🇺

Happy coding, and thanks for reading! ✨

I added networking standards to my custom kernel!

Hi all! I’ve been working on my kernel and have added some new networking capabilities!

For those who are new here, I'm building a custom kernel, leaning towards a monolithic design with some microkernel-like characteristics. Today’s update: I’ve implemented support for the IEEE 802.15.6 networking standard.

I will need to obtain testing hardware for this new feature, as I'm currently experiencing segmentation faults (likely because of the absence of dedicated 802.15.6 hardware). Any help towards getting testing hardware is greatly appreciated!

I'm building my own kernel!

I've been working on a personal project recently, which involves building a custom operating system kernel! I wanted to share some information about it and the current state of development.

Now, let me be super clear: this is a very experimental project, and it's in its super early stages. Think of it as a toddler trying to walk, but with code. It's clumsy, it stumbles, and sometimes it falls flat on its face. But hey, that's part of the fun, right? I'm learning so much along the way, and that's what really matters.

I'm working on it in my free time, mostly evenings and weekends.

And please, no hate please! Just a test project! I'm doing this purely for the challenge and the sheer joy of making something work from the ground up! It’s gonna be wild! Wish me luck!
