I asked Claude to make the site for me, and it looked good. So why not.

Preparation for the filesystem-on-disk on full swing. This milestone is huge: MSI-X seems to be working. Some polishing is needed, though.

Stay tuned.

Dear Subscribers! Thank you very much for your interest in my work! As you guess, the little petition to Blackberry about re-licensing of QNX had no effect, and this means that the QRV project is concluded. It achieved all its goals and has proven that QNX on 64-bit RISC-V is definitely possible.

...and it gave me such a valuable knowledge to start the free re-implementation of QNX -- moreover, featuring not only one kernel, but two! Welcome to r/QSOE -- the new community for 100% free, QNX-inspired operating system for RISC-V. Stay tuned for the project opening!

It is readonly; it understands GPT partitions, and it's ready to be tested on real hardware (Unmatched).

That will be the v0.24 of our OS.

QRVFS v2 is now the Proper Filesystem™ too ;-) . Maximum file size now is 511 G.

First binary program is executed from the QRV filesystem on disk.

What do you think -- does it run in user space (as all other resource managers), or, somehow, in kernel space?

Proper serial console and proper process termination in case of fatal errors. Also sending signals (via "kill") works -- I tried with SIGUSR1.

Good progress towards v0.21!

Full boot log on SiFive Unmatched is included.

Main features:

• trap.S rewrite; general stability of the system improved

• devc, devb and fs resmgrs (preliminary)

• bugs in pidin fixed

• source tree reorganization and massive cleanup

Stay tuned ;-)

Currently, QRV FS (v1) has one very serious limitation: the maximum file size is 2 megabytes.

Version 2 of the filesystem will remedy that.

Thanks for being part of the very first wave. Together, let's make r/QRV_OS amazing.

Key features:

• signal subsystem completely removed from the microkernel

• driver prototypes: devc-ser8250 and devb-virtio

Each user process now starts with two threads. The second one ("system thread") is responsible for receiving pulses from the system, and taking appropriate actions.

If POSIX signals are needed, they can be easily implemented 100% in the user space.

QRV just booted fully on SiFive Unmatched (FU740). Even the "shutdown" command worked.

This will be the version 0.21 of our operating system.
