Basic Core

Basic Core is an educational project designed to explore the fundamental principles of creating a bootloader and an operating system kernel. The project is divided into two stages: a simple assembler bootloader and a bootloader that transitions into 32-bit mode and calls a C++ function.

Project Structure

The repository contains two main folders:

1. basic-bootloader

This stage features a simple assembly bootloader that displays "Hello, World!" on the screen. It serves as an introduction to bootloader development and understanding low-level system interactions.

2. basic-kernel

In this stage, the bootloader transitions the system to 32-bit protected mode and calls a C++ function within the kernel. The kernel then outputs text to the console. This stage introduces concepts of kernel development and the interaction between assembly and C++.

Features

• Stage 1: Basic bootloader with a simple message.
• Stage 2: A more advanced bootloader that initializes 32-bit mode and integrates with a C++ kernel.

How to Build and Run

1. Clone the repository:

   https://github.com/alx0rr/Simple-kernel.git
       

2. Navigate to the desired stage folder.
3. Run the build script provided in the folder.

Requirements

• Assembly and C++ compilers (e.g., nasm, gcc, or clang).
• An x86 emulator (e.g., QEMU or VirtualBox) for testing.
