DESCRIPTION

Hybrid is a kernel being developed with an emphasis on design and portability. It is largely implemented in C/C++, with a small amount of assembly. The kernel is built on top of elklib.

Features

The architecture indipendent features are:

Strict architecture-independant layer that allows clean porting to other architectures
Integrated debugger support
Symbolic backtraces (via elklib)
Multiboot 1.0 compliance (2.0 in progress)
Bootmem allocator
Memory partitions
Paging / Virtual Memory
Interrupts / DMA handling
Scheduling

Ports

The only available port is for the x86 architecture

The x86 port supports the following features/hardware (maybe not updated):

IDT / GDT
PIT (i8253)
BIOS
CMOS
IRQs (i8259)
TRAPs
DMA (i8237)
Debugging via Bochs (e9 port)
Debugging via RS232

REPORT A BUG

If you think you have found a bug then please send as complete a report as possible to <hybrid-generic@nongnu.org>. An easy way to collect all the required information, such as platform and compiler, is to include in your report the config.log file available at the end of the configuration procedure.

If you have a patch for a bug that hasn't yet been fixed in the latest repository sources, please be so kind to create it using the repository sources, not the release sources.
