Haiway is a simple operating system written from scratch in C with the goal of helping learners understand OS development fundamentals. Targeting x86_64 systems and running in a bare-metal environment like QEMU, Haiway implements its own bootloader, kernel, and essential subsystems such as memory management, interrupt handling, and user process execution. Designed to be lightweight and readable, the project emphasizes clarity and modularity, making it a useful base for experimentation or educational exploration into low-level systems programming.

Features

  • Custom bootloader written in Assembly
  • Kernel written in C targeting x86_64 architecture
  • Paging and virtual memory management
  • ELF loader for running user-space programs
  • System call interface for user-kernel interaction
  • Interrupt descriptor table and IRQ handling
  • Simple round-robin multitasking scheduler
