This seems like a cool idea which might see some uses in the future. For now it seems like docs are lacking details, so I could not figure out how it works.

Does it only support risc? I saw the example written in C++. Which versions are supported? Is it common to use in kernel development? (AFAIK only NT uses cpp, right?)

Anyways, cool project. I could see it as an alternative for embedded development in the future.

Thank you for asking about our project! Currently FOSD supports basic 32bit loader and 64bit kernel with a rudimentary printing system in Intel x86 architecture. We are unsure of what version of C++ our project supports(speculatively g++ version 13.2.0 as we built the latest release on that compiler,) but the project can be compiled with a cross compiler(specifically x86_64-elf and x86_64-linux-gnu.) The ongoing developments consist of user-customizable kernel loader, kernel's memory and task management system. Our ultimate goal is to make a GUI/VSC extension similar to Arduino IDE, making the use of framework more easy. Leave the PR anytime if you want to contribute to our project! :)
