Issue of operating system toaroos 2.1

published Issue Unix-like operating system Toaroos 2.1 , written from scratch and supplied with his core, bootloader, standard SI-Bibliklava, a package manager, user space components and a graphic interface with a composite window manager. Initially, the project developed at the University of Illinois as research work in the field of creating new composite graphic interfaces, but then transformed into a separate operating system. The project code is written in the language of SI and spreads under the BSD license. To download the prepared live-image , the size of 14.4 MB, which can be tested in Qemu , Vmware or virtualbox.


The basis of toaroos is a nucleus that uses a hybrid modular architecture that combines a monolithic base and means for using loaded modules, in the form of which most available devices drivers such as disk drivers (Pata and Atapi), FS EXT2 and ISO9660, FRAMEBUFFER, Keyboard, mice, network cards (AMD PCNET FAST, Realtek RTL8139 and Intel Pro/1000), sound chips (Intel AC’97), as well as Virtualbox additions for guest systems. The core supports UNIX streams, TTY, virtual FS, Pseudo-FS /ProC, multi-plate, IPC, Ramdisk, Ptrace, separated memory, multitasking and other typical possibilities.

Sistema is equipped with composite window manager , supports dynamically executable files in ELF format, multitasking glass , can perform Python 3 and GCC. Ext2 is used as the file system. The bootloader supports BIOS and EFI. Network stack allows the use of BSD-systems APIs and supports network interfaces, including Loopback.

From its own applications, a BIM code editor is released from its own applications, which has been used for the past few years to develop applications specific for Toiroos, such as a file manager, a terminal emulator, a graphic panel with support for widgets, a package manager, as well as a library for supporting images ( PNG, JPEG) and TREUTYPE marthes. For Toiroos, it is carried out by porting of programs such as VIM, GCC, Binutils, Freetype, Mupdf, SDL, Cairo, Doom, Quake, Super Nintendo Emulator, Bochs, etc.
