We are simply extremely B-U-S-Y =) That's not a bad thing per definition, but it leaves little time for FreeNOS so far. Nevertheless, we do our best to continue our work on 0.0.5. Most likely, this release will not contain many new features, only improve what is already in FreeNOS. This also means we're gonna try to make the system reliable, like Minix3! text/html 2009-09-06T02:14:58+01:00 Niek Linnenbank http://www.freenos.org/wiki/doku.php/features?rev=1252196098&do=diff The system is very experimental, yet FreeNOS currently supports: * Virtual memory * Simple task scheduling * Inter Process Communication (IPC) * Devices: * VGA/Keyboard consoles (also supported by Ed's libteken ) * i8250 serial UART * PCI host controller * CMOS RTC clock * ATA host controller text/html 2009-09-06T02:12:20+01:00 Niek Linnenbank http://www.freenos.org/wiki/doku.php/screenshots?rev=1252195940&do=diff Booting 0.0.4 under Qemu Booting 0.0.3 under Qemu Booting 0.0.1 under Qemu text/html 2009-09-06T02:05:21+01:00 Niek Linnenbank http://www.freenos.org/wiki/doku.php/news/0.0.4-released?rev=1252195521&do=diff After two months of hard work since we released 0.0.3 in July, we finally have a new version of FreeNOS! This release has new features, enhancements and bugfixes, including: * Shared and Private Memory mappings support in MemoryServer * Added Device and DeviceServer classes for easy driver programming (abstracts the IPC layer) * Abstracted the IPC layer from FileSystems, Files and Directories (also with IOBuffer class) * Simplified virtual FileSystems by using synchroneous I/O and Shar… text/html 2009-09-06T00:18:21+01:00 Niek Linnenbank http://www.freenos.org/wiki/doku.php/status?rev=1252189101&do=diff This page lists all target and host systems which we have tested. Target systems run the FreeNOS code, and host systems build the FreeNOS code. Also see our CIA.vc page for live statistics on our subversion repository.

This guide can help you to get started with developing application programs, libraries, device drivers, filesystems and more for FreeNOS, on your own computer.
