# Collapse OS
|
|
|
|
*Bootstrap post-collapse technology*
|
|
|
|
Collapse OS is a z80 kernel and a collection of programs, tools and
|
|
documentation that allows you to assemble an OS that, when completed, will be
|
|
able to:
|
|
|
|
1. Run on minimal and improvised machines.
|
|
2. Interface through improvised means (serial, keyboard, display).
|
|
3. Edit text files.
|
|
4. Compile assembler source files for a wide range of MCUs and CPUs.
|
|
5. Read and write from a wide range of storage devices.
|
|
6. Replicate itself.
|
|
|
|
Additionally, the goal of this project is to be as self-contained as possible.
|
|
With a copy of this project, a capable and creative person should be able to
|
|
manage to build and install Collapse OS without external resources (i.e.
|
|
internet) on a machine of her design, built from scavenged parts with low-tech
|
|
tools.
|
|
|
|
## Organisation of this repository
|
|
|
|
* `kernel`: Pieces of code to be assembled by the user into a kernel.
|
|
* `apps`: Pieces of code to be assembled into "userspace" application.
|
|
* `recipes`: collection of recipes that assemble parts together on a specific
|
|
machine.
|
|
* `doc`: User guide for when you've successfully installed Collapse OS.
|
|
* `tools`: Tools for working with Collapse OS from "modern" environments. Mostly
|
|
development tools, but also contains emulated zasm, which is
|
|
necessary to build Collapse OS from a non-Collapse OS machine.
|
|
|
|
Each folder has a README with more details.
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
The project unfinished but is progressing well! See [Collapse OS' website][web]
