PartesOS (or YATPOS :P) (Baby steps)
« on: December 23, 2010, 12:16:19 pm »
I've been a bit reluctant to create a topic for this project of mine, but I feel confident enough that I will continue it, not to mention that a person or two have asked me to do this, so here's the topic! :D
This is my attempt at yet another third-party OS (hence YATPOS, which is not its name :P), which I have chosen to call PartesOS.
I don't have much yet, mainly just some core code and lots of ideas yet to be realized in code, nowhere near enough to release a demo.
I'm not sure how much I want to write right now, so feel free to browse the most recently committed version of the source code at the PartesOS Google Code page and ask any questions you might have. (Like my goals for this project, for example)
Thanks for the support I know you'll provide :)

I can only hope for that. :)
Edit: Merth asked on Cemetech about this, so I'll post my response:
Quote from: calcdude84se
Thanks for asking :)
My main goal is to be able to provide a powerful environment for coders.
The main things I will try to provide are multitasking and a capable library and driver framework. Although it has no practical import as of this speaking, normal executables would theoretically be able to run on any z80 device to which this OS is ported.
It's intended to be pronounced as "par-tays-oh-ess." The 's' in "Partes" is to remain unvoiced, though. ('s', not 'z', sound)

This looks interesting. I still can't wait for KOS, though. Are you going to be releasing a kernel as well?

The kernel is my first goal. To be honest, though, the way I'm designing it, the kernel is almost no code; things like the code that does memory management and file system stuff are not required to be part of the kernel. ;)
Yeah, I'm looking forward to KOS too. All the projects I am looking forward too ;D

This looks nice, calcdude!  I hope you eventually finish it, as I am sure it would be a great asset to the community! :)

I had already seen the page, but it used to be empty if I remember. Creating a topic will motivate you to code more on it :) Good Luck!

Kerm asked about my plans for directory structure etc., so:
Quote from: calcdude84se
Briefly, I plan for a Unix-style directory tree (if multiple file systems should ever become a concern) and allowing files/folders to be in multiple folders (so an explicit link type is unnecessary)
I also have plans for how garbage collection will be implemented. The next commit I make to the SVN repository should include near-full documentation on the file system.

Sounds good. I especially like the Unix tree.  Does that mean USB devices get added to /dev. ;-)

No, but seriously though, that sounds good. I'm looking over your code for page 00 at the moment. Is there a list of all the RST calls?

I meant Unix tree more in the sense of how further file systems are mounted rather than being assigned letters. (in contrast to Windows)
List? The macros file contains short usage information on the relative substitution ones.
I've yet to generate actual separate documentation, though.

All this conversation reminds me of a Windows for Calculator... Windows OS, it could be a Shell App too.

An UNIX would be great too, though.

UNIX is Open-Source so will it be open-source? Just wondering.

@DJ: So do I...

Given that I have a Google Code project, it's open source ;)

Sounds cool! So, this sounds like it's basically a super bare-bones setup, where you could change literally anything, am I right?
