resea is a small, message-passing-based operating system kernel designed with microkernel principles in mind. Written in C with minimal dependencies, it emphasizes modularity, isolation, and simplicity. resea includes a basic POSIX-like interface and supports multitasking, IPC, and user-space services. It serves as both a microkernel OS experiment and a platform for learning about low-level system design without the complexity of larger operating systems.

Features

  • Microkernel architecture with message-passing IPC
  • Written in clean, modular C code
  • Kernel-level multitasking and process scheduling
  • Support for x86_64 with bootable images
  • Basic virtual memory and paging system
  • POSIX-like syscalls for standard program interfaces
  • Separate user-space servers for drivers and services
