ArcticAxis is a minimal operating system written in 16-bit x86 Assembly. It features a simple shell interface where you can run basic commands like help, clear, and reboot.
To get started with ArcticAxis, you'll need to install several packages including make, nasm, qemu, and micro.
sudo apt update
sudo apt install make nasm qemu cargo
snap install micro --classic
sudo apt-get install mtools
sudo apt install qemu-system-x86
After installing the required packages, you can build and run ArcticAxis using the following commands:
make && qemu-system-i386 -fda build/main_floppy.img
This will compile the assembly files and generate a floppy disk image, which will then be run using QEMU.
- Written entirely in 16-bit x86 Assembly
- Simple shell interface
- Basic commands like help, clear, and reboot
