My OS booting and running it's debugger on real hardware
Running on real HW
I had trouble with non-existent RS/232 (to output boot log and debugger on serial console), but checking for all possible errors in LSR seems to do the trick. I can't imagine a case when all flags set on a real chip, hope I'm right.
I hope soon I can post a bare minimal gui But first, I'm going to need a malloc() to allocate window buffers.

I've just ported zlib and libpng.
And I'm going to port Dash, yay!

Way too much cool on this thread recently, so I'm here to spoil it by showing off my crappy OS.
I've just implemented paging and Tupai is now a higher-half kernel.
I've also partially implemented ANSI escape-code compatibility.
I'm trying to get kernel tasks working, but... I'm not quite there yet. They're still ridiculously unstable.

Man I am so confused. Why can't I find a command for entering Sortie's compositor? I downloaded the latest nightly build and there is no GUI.

Don't be so hard on yourself, your OS is really amazing! Yes, we all had bad times, and debugging is a difficult task, but that should not stop you! Sooner or later you'll came around all issues, and that moment will be a memorable one! According to what you have achieved so far, I'm 100% sure it's just a matter of when and not an if!

I made a new demo video with ~15 minutes of various different things in my OS.

Behind the scenes with my under development graphical shell.
Both the menu and the "task bar" are windows, which also means I now have support for frameless and transparent windows. I need to improve the look of the buttons and let them have a specified width, so that the menu would look more organized and uniform than this. Don't pay any attention to the time; I turned my sleeping pattern completely upside down.

Thanks. Since that post, I've got VBE framebuffer requests working, so hopefully my next screenshots will be a lot prettier.
