Welcome to NeKernel.org

NeKernel.org is an open-source operating system written in modern C++. Our goal is to provide a clean, efficient, and well-documented kernel for developers and users alike.

Use NeKernel in your projects. It's Apache 2.0!

Showcase: NeKernel running on AMD64-SMP.

Note: ne_kernel also runs on ARM64 thanks to its HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer), you will need to port some components however.

Example: Nectar's 'Hello World' program (pef-amd64-necdrv).

Warning: The PEF frontend uses NeKernel's PEF ABI, it shall acknowledged that it is not compatible with other ABIs.

const main() 
{
    let _ := _exit(0);
    return;
}
