Helix OS is a rewrite of OS-Thing from scratch, with an emphasis on simplicity and correctness. The end goal is to be a versatile kernel which is easily modifiable by a programmer.

It currently supports:

• Module loading and linking
• Kernel multithreading
• VFS with multiple file systems
• PCI devices
• IDE disks
• VGA text mode
• FAT12/16 filesystem
• VBE framebuffer with psf font support

Next steps:

• Start working on the userland
• TCP/IP stack
• More filesystem drivers, e.g. EXT2

After that:

• Port development tools
• Be self-hosting
