Agnix
'''[http://agnix.sourceforge.net Agnix]''' is an educational [[Operating system|operating system]] [[operating system kernel|kernel]]

Agnix is an [[Open-Source]] project, which has been founded to provide an educational, network operating system kernel. Agnix is an extended kernel, written in pure C code. It is an ideal starting point to learn about operating system kernel architecture. In addition Agnix is a very fast and small kernel and I advice for using it in ait is suggested that it be used in [[Embedded_system|embedded systems]] and everywhere where is neededa fast, small and stable operating system kernel is needed.

The main goal of the project is to provide an educational, network [[Operating system|operating system]] [[operating system kernel|kernel]] which will be fully compatible with the [[Linux|Linux]] Kernel in the system call layer. The compatibility with Linux kernel is very important, because Agnix has to enable runningmust be able to run programs compiled for Linux. This is athe baseis of the Agnix kernel project.

Agnix supports:
* Memory: 32-bit protected mode, support for paging
* Virtual memory: supports for memory allocation algorithms (binary and buddy)
* Tasks management: [[multithread|mulithreading]], hardware switched tasks, round-robin scheduler
* Synchronization: spinlocks and semaphores
* Interrupts: interrupts serviced in fastirq kernel thread
* Timers: RT timers, 100Hz system clock
* Network: support for e[[Ethernet, ARP and IP]], [[Address Resolution Protocol|ARP]] and [[Internet Protocol|IP]] protocols
* Driver interface: own driver interface named ADI (Agnix Driver Interface)
* Drivers: [[PIT|8254]], [[8259]], [[RTC]], DMA chips, [[Direct memory access|DMA chips]], [[Peripheral Component Interconnect|PCI bus]], support for RTL-8029(AS) network card
* Power management: support for [[APM]]
* Support for busses: full support for [[PCI]] bus, PCI devices and PCI IRQs
* Terminals: support for switched [[terminal|terminals]]
* Data structures: hashing with open addressing, lists, queues
