HyperionOS
HyperionOS is a modular, hybrid kernel operating system written entirely in Lua. It features a custom task scheduler, virtual filesystem, syscall interface, and separates core functionality from user-space services.
Building
See building.md.
Features
- Functionality is split into kernel modules (
.kmod) - Task-based lightweight thread/task preemptive scheduler with process isolation and IPC support
- Virtual filesystem
- TTY & Shell
- Sockets
Kernel Modules
Modules are loaded in priority order from /lib/modules/.
You can add your own .kmod files to extend kernel functionality without modifying the core.
Debugging & Logging
The kernel logs to /var/log/syslog.log during runtime.
you can add to it by doing syscall.log(text, tag, color)
Contributing
Contributions are welcome, though please follow these guidelines:
- No AI-generated kernel code, keep the core human written.
- Modularize, new features should go into kernel modules where possible.
- Document, update comments and docs when adding/changing functionality.
- Test, ensure your changes don’t break existing functionality.
Add your name to contributors.md when your PR is merged.
