PowerNex is a OS written in the D Programming Language. The goal is to have a whole OS written in D, where the PowerNex kernel powers the core.

The name PowerNex comes from the words power and next. A kernel to power the next generation of hardware.

• A 64bit processor
• At least 512 MiB of ram (less will probably work)

It requires a crosscompiler, which can be aquired by running ./toolchainManager.d. PowerNex is using a custom build system. For its code look inside build.d, src/buildlib.d, and src/*/project.d.

To use the following shortcuts run source env.sh in your shell.

• c - Removes the build files
• v - Compiles PowerNex
• b - Compiles and runs PowerNex in qemu
• bd - Compiles and runs PowerNex in qemu, with debug logs to qemu_debug.log
• a - Runs addr2line on the kernel
• al - Runs addr2line on the loader
• log - Runs tail on the COM1.log, and demangles and inserts colors for the entries.

• Adam D. Ruppe - For his minimal.zip, which contains a bare bone minimal d runtime.
• Bloodmanovski - For his D Kernel Trinix, His files for booting x64 really helped me a lot in the beginning.
• Lukas "zrho" Heidemann - For his Hydrogen project. It really inspired and help me to make PowerD, the intermediate bootloader.
