    YAOS is an operating system written in C and Assembly for x86 architecture. It aims to be usable but not POSIX compliant, and is intended for advanced users to learn from rather than mainstream use. It supports features of major OSs and aims to reduce bugs. The OS runs in Ring 0 while user programs run in Ring 3, accessing hardware through drivers rather than directly. It implements preemptive multitasking with all processes as threads scheduled by priority. So far it includes basic functions, paging, memory allocation, a shell and commands, and an incomplete file system. Remaining tasks include drivers, DMA control, and completing the file system. The project is currently on hold.

    Name Changed to YAOS (Yet Another Operating System).

    YAOS is an operating system written for x86 architecture.This OS is completely written in C and
    Assembly languages.This Operating System does not aim at having POSIX compliance and is
    written mainly for learning purpose and is also usable.This OS is for advanced users who have
    knowledge of what they are doing There are device drivers available for soft wares to access
    hardware however it may also access the hardware directly.

    Goals A 32 bit OS which is usable The OS is written completely in C and Assembly Supports all
    the features provided by mainstream OS's Reduces the Bugs that are present OS's

    This is how the OS Runs.The Operating System runs in Ring 0.The Drivers access the Hardware
    and all the user programs and applications run in Ring 3.The Softwares can not directly access
    the hardware they use only software interrupts and Drivers.This OS is mainly written to support
    preemptive multitasking and all processes run as thread and are executed based on their
    priorities.

    Till Now the Kernel has


    # String and Memory Functions
    # Text Display Functions
    # GDT setup
    # IDT setup
    # Paging setup
    # Dynamic Memory Allocation
    # Timer
    # Keyboard Irq
    # Beep Functions
    # C Shell
    # A Basic File System(Incomplete !!)
    # Few Shell Commands
    # Multi Tasking
    To DO
    # Floppy Driver
    # Hard Disk Driver
    # DMA Controller
    # File System
    # Program Execution
    # List grows on.
