Utero is an operating system (for x86_64) written in Crystal as much as possible.

This is the work in progress.

Requirements

• Crystal 0.23.0
  • llvm
  • Please see All required libraries
• nasm
• grub-mkrescue
• xorriso
• qemu-system-x86_64
• mformat (included in mtools)
  • optional, See more details http://os.phil-opp.com/multiboot-kernel.html#creating-the-iso

Usage

To make an ISO file and run on Qemu

$ make run

To make an ISO file

$ make iso

To make a binary file of the kernel

$ make or $ make all

To compile the OS in DEBUG mode and run on Qemu

$ make debug

Note: in DEBUG mode, logging uses the serial port COM1 to write various debugging information. qemu is configured to write the output of this serial port to /tmp/serial.log.

To clean up

$ make clean

Troubleshooting on Qemu

On a system that uses EFI boot, like dual boot macOS and Ubuntu(16.04) on MacBook Pro

Error on Qemu like this

Could not read from CDROM (code 0009)

The solution may be:

$ sudo apt-get install grub-pc-bin

After the install grub-pc-bin, you will need to recreate the ISO file like this:

$ make clean
$ make # or make iso
$ make run
