The Haiku operating system

Go to file

Augustin Cavalier f72d1684e5 kernel/debug: Initialize the frame buffer console much earlier, if possible. Previously it was not initialized until "post-VM", but there are a number of ways VM initialization can go wrong that it would be nice to know about without needing a serial port. On arches which map the whole physical memory into the kernel address space (x86_64, at least), we can get the bluescreen facility initialized using KERNEL_PMAP_BASE. On other architectures, we just fail to init then, and do the usual setup later on. A slight bit of extra code cleanup in blue_screen_init_early: we now just call module->info.std_ops() rather than a frame-buffer-console specific method.		2024-11-19 21:35:31 -05:00

Haiku

Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs

Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.

Goals

Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
Clean, clear, concise code.
Unified desktop environment.

Trying Haiku

Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.

Compiling Haiku

See ReadMe.Compiling.

Contributing

Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
