You want to deploy Collapse OS on a new system? Start here.

|
What is Collapse OS? It is a binary placed either in ROM on
|
||
|
|
in RAM by a bootloader. That binary, when executed, initializes
|
||
|
|
itself to a Forth interpreter. In most cases, that Forth
|
||
|
|
interpreter will have some access to a mass storage device,
|
||
|
|
which allows it to access Collapse OS' disk blocks and come
|
||
|
|
to this block to bootstrap itself some more.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This binary can be separated in 5 distinct layers:
|
||
|
|
1. Boot code (B280)
|
||
|
|
2. Boot words (B305)
|
||
|
|
3. Core words (low) (B350)
|
||
|
|
4. Drivers (cont.)
