Acess2

Acess2 is a kernel and operating system designed to do what Linux does, be customizable to any given situation. However, unlike Linux, it there is no need to maintain backwards compatibility with anything. It features a simple but extensible VFS that currently supports VFAT and Ext2, IPv4/IPv6 networking with TCP/UDP, USB input, and storage. Recently, this project has been moved to GitHub, but its old git repo—with outdated sources and some useful documentation—can be found here: http://git.mutabah.net/?p=acess2.git;a=summary . v0.14 outdated floppy image is available at its' old page: username - root, password is blank. Could try building a new floppy from the latest sources by yourself! (some software rot has been noticed but its fixable)

The Code may look pretty stupid but yeah that won't be that bad for long. The goal is to make something on which u can open facebook and send me a 'Hi' :) Currently It supports only Qemu :( But working on that too.

BlueKernel

The BlueKernel is a simple microkernel design intended for students. It has pre-emptive multitasking with threads, message-passing and virtual memory. It is currently targeted for the IA-32 processors, but the design is strictly separated into a hardware-dependent mechanisms layer, with an independent policy layer on top of that. It has its own basic boot loader that loads the kernel and a disk driver. It also has a basic text-mode display driver and keyboard driver. As with most microkernels, the drivers run in user space and help to demonstrate message passing and interrupts. When the system starts it loads a server that allows the user to load their own processes. There are very simple example user programs to demonstrate threads, message-passing and interrupts. The website is written like a textbook to explain how it all works, focusing on the implementation rather than theory.

MenuetOS is a fully 32 bit assembly written graphical operating system. Menuet supports 32 bit x86 assembly programming as a faster and smaller system footprint. Menuet has no unix roots and the basic system is meant to be a clean asm based structure. Menuet isn't based in any particular operating system, since the idea has been to remove the extra layers between different parts of software, which complicate programming and create bugs. Menuet's application structure is not specifically reserved for asm programming since the header can be produced with practically any other language. However, the overall application programming design is intended for easy 32 bit asm programming. The GUI is extremely easy to handle with assembly language

The Night kernel is a 32-bit drop-in replacement for the original 16-bit kernel of the FreeDOS operating system. It uses linear memory addressing and operates in protected mode on the Intel x86 architecture. The typical user will retain compatibility with their DOS applications and gain protected mode abilities such as task switching between applications, protected memory and increased overall performance in a DOS environment.

NOS

NOS is a microkernel OS project written in C++, making use of modern C++ standards (from C++11 onwards). It targets multiple architectures, is meant to be portable and provides a structured, object-oriented API. It is mostly inspired by the L4KA series of microkernels. Currently it is the basic kernel boot and thread creation / switching on x86 32-bit and 64-bit platforms

Oberon System

The Oberon System is an academic operating system and an integrated software environment developed by Niklaus Wirth and Jürg Gutknecht since 1980s at ETH in Zürich. Currently it is a single-user, multi-core, multi-tasking system that runs on bare hardware or on top of a host operating system (currently Microsoft Windows or Linux). The developers aim at producing a reliable, real-time operating system suitable for embedded systems and for industrial and in particular medical applications. Earlier it was called "Aos" (Active Object System), a nomenclature that is still in use. It is written in the Active Oberon programming language, which evolved from Oberon, a programming language in the Pascal/Modula tradition. The graphical user interface is referred to as "Bluebottle". See also: Oberon Operating System on Wikipedia and Lukas Mathis' Blog: Ignore the Code. Note that some stuff on these pages appear outdated, but this may be more a problem of keeping the Web-pages as current as the System. More current and in depth documentation is included in the systems, although you (sorrily) have to master their (partially) unconventional user-interface before you can access the documentation. Many dead links in Native Oberon reference site can be reanimated by replacing www with www-old. It has been revitalized in fall 2013 by Niklaus Wirth implementing a RISC processor in FPGA.

OS/Z

OS/Z is an open-source, multiplatform, micro-kernel hobby OS written in C and assembly. It implements some interesting, non-standard concepts, and it's deliberately not fully POSIX compliant (although the API is POSIXish as much as possible). Its goal is to handle big amounts of data (in magnitude of yotta) in an user friendly, efficient way. Has it's own built-in debugger, memory allocator, unique VFS implementation and graphical interface protocol which is somewhere between X and Wayland. Currently supports x86_64 and AArch64 architectures and is under heavy development.

PDOS - Public Domain Operating System

One of very few operating systems that have an explicit "released to the public domain" notice. What that means is that if you spend time on this, and you later see a commercial use for it, there is absolutely no restriction on selling/modifying etc, any more than you would dig up Shakespeare and ask him if it's OK to use "Hamlet". It is designed to look like MSDOS, and can currently execute some MSDOS executables unchanged. It's written in C, with some assembler, and a 32-bit version, that also looks like MSDOS, but isn't, is included. Current activity is restricted to the C runtime library that it is operates with, rather than the OS itself. PDOS is sufficiently complete to allow some commercial tasks to be theoretically possible.

Whole OS with its' software has been single-handedly created during 15 years by Terry A Davis - who also developed a programming language called Holy C together with a special compiler for it. TempleOS supports the FAT32 and RedSea filesystems (the latter created by Terry) and also the file compression. It doesn't support the networking, partially for ideological reasons, but there are forks available with added functionality
