Welcome to the ULIX blog.
Ulix (Literate Unix) is a Unix-like operating system currently in development at
University of Erlangen-Nürnberg.
I use D. E. Knuth's concept of
Literate Programming
for the implementation and documentation. The ultimate goal is a fully working system which can be
used in operating system courses to show students how OS concepts (such as paging and scheduling)
can be implemented. Literate programs are very accessible because they can be read like a book;
the order of presentation is not enforced by program logic or compiler restrictions, but instead
is guided by the implementer's creative process.
Ulix is written in C and assembler for the Intel architecture. Currently no source code is available because the project is in its early stages.
On this page I document my progress with the implementation.
