MikeOS is an operating system for x86 PCs, written in assembly language. It is a learning tool to show how simple 16-bit, real-mode OSes work, with well-commented code and extensive documentation.

Ok, But does it MenuetOS?

I downloaded the source a while back just to see what it looked like.
Never actually used it.

Downloaded but havent used yet either.

How about an OS for the Raspberry Pi?

How about people stop pretending the Raspberry Pi is anything more than a cheap ARM computer? I swear, every time somebody releases a hobby OS, especially one that's not intended to be arch-portable, there's always a moron asking

Cud u pls port this to rPi bcuz i like minimal things and ur os is minimal and the rPi is minimal??????

I know exactly how you feel. So please support minnowboard, or any on the list:

I wish there was a 64bit one. So far I am stuck with AMD Fusion on ≤ MicroATX boards. Suggestions are welcomed.

no coreboot yet :( let's pool our money and shower a coreboot dev in cash

Learn to do it yourself. It is an open project you know.

The RasPi was originally intended to be a low cost educational computer. It has practical applications as a prototyping microcontroller or low powered DSP (if you're willing to use the blobs). An educational OS in assembly for the Raspi would further its application as learning tool or microcontroller.

The list of things I would do with a RPi:
- smash it with a hammer
- reverse engineer the gigantic startup blob

Why? By necessity, such an OS would have to be paired with another, more featured OS in order to learn effectively (At the least, the OS used to edit and compile the instructional code). At that point, a student becomes unrestricted though virtualization, and there's no need for specific hardware just to run the instructional OS. The only point in using a specific device for learning would be to learn how to learn how to program/use that specific device.

I believe the ``low cost educational computer'' refers to the same meaning as that intended by the OLPC project - the computer itself is low-cost, and is sufficient for uses supplementing education, like browsing the internet and reading documents.

like browsing the internet

On the HTML5 era? LOL, only if grimy developers stop ignoring older browsers, preferably text browsers. However, I know you said internet, not just Web.

Also, the OLPC XO-1 was 10x better than the ARM based ones, since it used a x86: AMD Geode LX700@0.8 W + 5536

Coding in a virutal machine on a different computer is the first step to learning about the nature of computers and programming. If one can't handle programming this environment, one won't be capable of moving to the next level of education: using one's skill to achieve practical results on a real metal microcontroller.
