Has anyone written an OS for the hercule S/370 emulator?

Post by ker2x »

First thing first : do you know about http://www.hercules-390.org/ ?
It's a System/370, ESA/390, and z/Architecture Emulator.

I'm wondering if there is enough available documentation to write an OS that can run on this emulator.
If so, anyone tried ?
And if anyone tried, or know the architecture, what do you think about it ?

Btw, is there a toolchain (at least an assembler) that can compile to this thing ?
Thank you :)

GCC supports both ESA/390 and z/Architecture.

If you find documentation lacking, there's always the "Reverse engineer Linux" option...
