$WW$$FG,5$$TX+CX,"Project Roadmap"$$FG$
The goal is to be a fully-functional, self-reproducing x86_64 PC operating system running in $FG,2$ring-0 only$FG$, designed for modern machines with $FG,2$AHCI$FG$ and $FG,2$NVMe$FG$ drives.
Roadmap:
- AHCI driver that is capable of reading and burning CD/DVD discs, and can also work with RW discs.
- Speed up the OS by doing compiler optimizations like register arguments.
- Drop floating point support completely.
- Add either SSE or AVX support (not both) to the assembler/compiler, for working with large integers.
- Write a new 32-bit color graphics library that uses the added SIMD instructions. Refresh DolDoc for the following:
- Build a simplistic GUI framework that integrates with DolDoc and the terminal using the new graphics library.
- Add Intel HD Audio support.
- Write drivers for the 5 most common ethernet cards.
- Create a clean and robust networking stack that supports raw sockets, TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, DHCP, and an HTTP library. Perhaps we can avoid Berkeley Sockets and create our own system?
- Write applications using this networking stack.
- Write a JSON library, so REST APIs can be used.
- Drop FAT32 and maybe RedSea, replace with exFAT and proper ISO9660 support.
- Whole system VCS, with root being top-level directory. Stored repo inside the OS, you can checkout any commit onto another partition and boot it to see what the OS was like in that commit.
- Pull updates directly onto root filesystem from network. (it's a repo source tree after all).
- At this point, bigger fish in the pond can be eyed. Perhaps support for USB keyboard and mice, and native USB mass storage support, significant code clean up and refactoring.
- Port to other architectures??
Perhaps, in order to reduce LOC in the compiler we can skip on most optimizations.
