Blob is a boot loader for SA11x0 (StrongARM) platforms. Blob is able to boot a Linux kernel stored in flash or RAM and provide that kernel with a ramdisk (again from flash or RAM).

With this project I intend to write a really, really simple OS, just for fun and learning. I think I will never have a really usable version, as I said, that's no my objective.

This patch enables AHCI and NVMe support for Grub4DOS 0.4.5c and can speed up transfer rates if an image file is mapped to RAM and may be loaded from an SSD or NVMe M2 SSD.

Linux-based Network Bootmanager A graphical bootmanager providing OS deployment and repair for Linux, Windows, possibly other operating systems, via PXE and local cache.

Open Source Video ROM implementation for AMD Radeon grafics cards.

Startup Helper lets users choose which programs are launched when the OS boots up. It also allows for waiting periods between launching programs, to prevent programs slowing each other down. During this startup process, the user can control the waiting period through the Startup Helper GUI, pausing the program, skipping a single program, or foregoing the waiting period and launching the next program immediately. This project is made in Java, so it should be multiplatform. However, I've only been able to test it on a Windows XP machine, so please let me know if there are oddities, bugs and/or malfunctions on other platforms.

The T-BASE OS Project aims on developing a new OS Kernel (BASE) with a brand new shell which will support many existing programs.

Agnix is an educational, network operating system kernel. It is ideal starting point to learn about operating systems. The main goal of the project is to provide a network kernel fully compatible with the Linux Kernel in the system call layer

Covert Linux is technology of instalation for Linux without repartition the disk and running from native system, e.g. you can install Linux from ,say, Windows by grabbing some SETUP.EXE, launching it and then clicking on desktop icon.

gives remote control of a PC running MS-DOS (which e.g. does not have a monitor display attached to it). The screen image (currently text mode only) is taken from the graphics card and transferred to other computer via serial link and displayed there

Perix is a 16/32/64-Bit protected mode kernel, bootable and capable of running with or without an operating system. It is written in Turbo Pascal 7.0 for DOS, Delphi 7.0, Pascal Pro, Virtual Pascal v2.1, Delphi XE2 64-Bit, TASM, TASM32 and JWASM. The latest version, 0.01I, supports multi-processor. Added Open Watcom C++ and Borland C++ examples.

Boot loader and FLASH burner for the Motorola 68360 processor (aka Power QUICC). Based on CoLILO linux loader for Motorola Coldfire processors, however this boot loader is OS independent. Supports systems with multiple FLASH devices, runs from RAM for f

Amacdys is a single floppy operating system for playing mp3 CDs. Or Amacdys is bootable mp3 player, that fits into single floppy.

Apache Dubbo is a high-performance, java based open source RPC framework. It offers six key functionalities, which include transparent interface based RPC, intelligent load balancing, automatic service registration and discovery, high extensibility, runtime traffic routing, and visualized service governance. Dubbo provides high performance interface based RPC, which is transparent to users. Dubbo supports multiple load balancing strategies out of the box, which perceives downstream service status to reduce overall latency and improve system throughput. Dubbo supports multiple service registries, which can detect service online/offline instantly. Dubbo’s micro-kernel and plugin design ensures that it can easily be extended by third party implementation across core features like protocol, transport, and serialization.

BIOS for Samsung S3C4510B based boards. You can use it to setup CPU/ROM/SDRAM/EXTIO, manage and burn flash, load OS kernel and pass arguments to OS kernel (now only uClinux).

fast single-privilege single-address-space preemptive-multithreading persistent data-centric secure multiuser operating system with safe-language and reconfigurable graphical interface

The Banana Kernel is an open-source pedagogical operating system intended to provide useful means for teaching basic OS concepts, with the possibility of interaction with external modules developed by the teacher or student.
