I'm currently programing the PE layout for HeinanOS. It takes some time, but I belive I'm in the right direction.

*BTW, did u notice that's the 100 comment on this topic?

Good luck on your project !
If you don't mind, I'd like to ask you some questions :
Does your OS run in Real, Protected or Extended mode ? Or is it some form of hybrid (like 9x) ?
Did you code your own bootloader or are you booting HeinanOS from grub ?
And lastly, how did you port the standard C library ?

I'm quite interested in this because I'd like to delve into OS development myself.

@BogdanV

HeinanOS runs in protected mode.
I coded my own bootloader.
How I ported? Easily, once you know what each function does, you write the code to make it do so, and you got the function.

Are there any new testing builds out? I'm getting a bit bored without something to test.

Yes, there is Build 42, but I consider it highly unstable.. I'm trying to improve the code a little. If everything goes as planned, then during the coming Friday you should get Build 43.

Saturday now, no new build, but I'll wait.
Also, it would be awesome if you included a pi function. You can download a text file with 100000 decimals of pi here. Use as much as you can.

Actually, pi exists in build 42, and I'm still having problems with some functions, like cos and sine.

Oh dear. I haven't been online for a couple of weeks and I'm totally lost! What are the newest and most stable builds of HeinanOS so far?

The current public release is M2 R2, the current testing release is Build 43, and the current private-build is... well, only Daniel1981 knows.

The current private build is 43a.. It only has an improved sqrt function and the start of cosine, sine and tangent functions..

BTW, Milestone 3 is scheduled for the end of April

That's weird, I only see Build 41 for download on the site.

That's right. M2 R2.. it's build 41.

Build 43 is still under heavy testing by JoJoz

Oh, no wonder...

I must say that currently Build 41 is considered HeinanOS most stable build, so it's recommended running it.

The next major public build would be Milestone 3.

Yes, that's true.


Daniel? Did you receive the PM I send you? It contains a full list of bugs found so far, but I got no response from you.

I saw it today, and I'm working on fixing the bugs you mentioned.. Expect to receive a new build (43a) in the coming day into your mail.

And BTW, I will issue a redesign of HeinanOS Calculator after Milestone 3 with improved functionality.

Its quite amazing what you have done. I've looked at OS development before but I can never get memory management to work, never mind output to a screen. Have you got any links that could be helpful?

Sure.. Just google for OSDev Wiki.. It's a very comprehensive guide

Thanks, have you used that as reference?

Very nice OS, Good Job!

Of course

I registered and the website won't let me access any of the threads. -_-

soo Daniel have you got any update for us then it been really quite around here...

I got many updates, but my main beta tester gone and I can't verify if the builds are good for public eyes...

If someone wants to test the latest build, please write me his e-mail address and I'll send it there, and of course I will expect to get feedback.

Oh, and this website hasn't got any updates during the last few monthes, and will no longer be active.. It's just I'm trying to close it, but the company who hosts it won't allow that until July 2011..
