Xyris is a microkernel-based operating system developed with a focus on modularity, simplicity, and modern code practices. Written in C++, Xyris separates drivers and system services into isolated components using message passing, in line with microkernel philosophy. It’s designed as a research and hobbyist OS, with a clean codebase and early implementations of multitasking, system calls, and filesystem abstractions. Xyris serves as a foundation for further exploration into reliable OS architectures.

Features

  • Microkernel architecture with message-passing IPC
  • Written in modern C++ with strong modularity
  • Basic memory management and paging support
  • Isolated drivers and user-space services
  • System call interface with privilege separation
  • Cooperative multitasking with future preemption goals
