Simple Bootloader OS

This project is a simple bootloader operating system implemented in x86 assembly language. It demonstrates basic input/output operations, including displaying messages, capturing user input, and clearing the screen.

Features

• Displays a welcome message on boot.
• Prompts the user to type something.
• Supports a "clear" command to clear the screen.
• Echoes back user input.

Requirements

• NASM (Netwide Assembler) to assemble the assembly code.
• QEMU to emulate the booting process.
• Windows operating system (tested on Windows with Mingw32).

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Krishneshwaran/Learning
   cd Learning

2. Install NASM and QEMU if you haven't already.

3. Open a command prompt and navigate to the project directory.

4. Build the project:

   mingw32-make all

5. Run the OS in QEMU:

   qemu-system-x86_64 -drive file=build/main_floppy.img,format=raw

Usage

• Upon booting, the OS will display a welcome message.
• You can type any text, and it will be echoed back to you.
• Typing the command clear will clear the screen.

Code Structure

• src/main.asm: The main assembly source file containing the bootloader code.
• Makefile: A Makefile to automate the building process.
• build/: Directory where the compiled files are generated.
