There's a bug where the first char after a-lock isn't a-modded. I have troubles figuring it out for now. It feels like deja vu. I think I had the same problem with asm. |

Collapse OS
Bootstrap post-collapse technology
Collapse OS is a z80 kernel and a collection of programs, tools and documentation that allows you to assemble an OS that, when completed, will be able to:
- Run on minimal and improvised machines.
- Interface through improvised means (serial, keyboard, display).
- Edit text files.
- Compile assembler source files for a wide range of MCUs and CPUs.
- Read and write from a wide range of storage devices.
- Replicate itself.
Additionally, the goal of this project is to be as self-contained as possible. With a copy of this project, a capable and creative person should be able to manage to build and install Collapse OS without external resources (i.e. internet) on a machine of her design, built from scavenged parts with low-tech tools.
Forth reboot in process
You are currently looking at the forth
branch of the project, which is a
Forth reboot of Collapse OS. You can see why I'm doing this in the related
github issue.
Documentation is lacking, it's not ready yet, this is a WIP branch.
Getting started
Usage documentation is in-system, so access to documentation requires you to run Collapse OS. Fortunately, doing so in an emulator is easy.
See /emul/README.md
for getting an emulated system running.
Then, run 0 LIST
for an introduction, follow instructions from there.
Organisation of this repository
blk
: Collapse OS filesystem's content. That's actually where Collapse OS' source code is located. Everything else is peripheral.recipes
: collection of recipes that assemble Collapse OS on a specific machine.tools
: Tools for working with Collapse OS from "modern" environments. For example, tools for facilitating data upload to a Collapse OS machine through a serial port.emul
: Tools for running Collapse OS in an emulated environment.tests
: Automated test suite for the whole project.
Status
The project unfinished but is progressing well! See Collapse OS' website for more information.
Discussion
For a general discussion of Collapse OS and the ecosystem of technologies and ideas that may develop around it refer to r/collapseos
A more traditional mailing list and IRC (#collapseos on freenode) channels are also maintained.
