Asuro

Spexeah Community

Asuro is an x86 Operating System that started development in 2015 as somewhat of an academic project. Written almost entirely in Freepascal, with NASM used only for bootstrapping & minimal low-level routines, Asuro is a purely hobbyist operating system that differs quite majorly in design from any mainstream OS.

Current Features

 

  • Multi-boot compliance.
  • Physical → virtual → logical memory management.
  • Task scheduling.
  • Registration based interrupt handling (ISR Manager).
  • Registration based fault handling.
  • Stack/Call Tracing for debug purposes.
  • Virtual Machine for user-land applications.
  • Window management implemented as a TUI in VGA mode.
  • Registration based driver management.
  • Network stack up to UDP (Eth2/ICMP/UDP/ARP) (TCP is in the works!).
  • File-System Support.
  • Basic console font.

Supported Hardware/Drivers

Asuro is currently only fully tested as a VirtualBox guest and has had limited testing on old Athlon (~2002) based hardware. But supported hardware/drivers are listed below:

  • Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI).
  • Open Host Controller Interface (OHCI).
  • Enhanced Host Controller Interface (EHCI).
  • Extensible Host Controller Interface (XHCI).
  • Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI).
  • PS/2 Keyboard
  • PS/2 Mouse
  • Serial
  • Netstack: ETH2/ARP/IPv4/ICMP/UDP
  • Netdev: E1000/I217/82577LM
  • Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE)
  • FAT32 (No ExFAT… Yet…)
  • Real-time Clock (RTC)
  • Programmable Interrupt Controller (PIC)

Built-In GUI Applications

 

 

  • Edit: A basic utility for editing files on disk.
  • MemView: A live, scrollable view of physical memory.
  • NetLog: Log of OSI layer calls.
  • Shell: The UI Shell (Taskbar/Menus)
  • Terminal: A basic terminal for issuing commands to Asuro.
  • Themer: Live configuration of the Asuro Shell colors.
  • VMLog: Debugging application giving a live view of VM calls/traces.
  • VMState: State information pertaining to the CPU.

Built-In CLI Applications
