-# The LunaixOS Project
+# The Lunaix Project
+
+The Lunaix kernel (or soon-to-be LunaixOS) is a hobby kernel, started in 2022,
+written entirely from scratch. With a big ambition of being POSIX-compliance,
+and designed with performance and modernity in mind, with some independent
+thoughts being applied in architectural design.
+
+
+This project is built entirely from first principles - meaning no code was
+copy-pasted or recycled from other OS projects or tutorials. Lunaix didn't begin
+as an attempt to outperform anything; it started as a personal challenge to
+learn OS theory and explore advanced kernel features through original design
+and implementation. Everything you see here was developed solo, part-time,
+with only hardware specs and my beloved **Modern Operating Systems** as guidance.
+
+If you're a kernel hobbyist looking for a fresh take or tired of mass-produced, tutorial-style
+projects, then welcome, you're in the right place!

+> By the way, do you know there is an online video course by the author on the design of lunaix? [Check it out](https://space.bilibili.com/12995787/channel/collectiondetail?sid=196337) (although it is in Chinese!)
+
+## Features
+
+Lunaix is a multi-architecture, general-purpose kernel built with performance,
+modularity, and robustness in mind. Its design emphasizes advanced abstractions,
+proactive error detection, and subsystem isolation. Lunaix is
+
++ **Fully-preemptive** for responsive multi-tasking
++ **Modular** with compile-time configurable components and extensible
+ subsystems
++ **High-performance**, leveraging modern caching strategies and efficient
+ infrastructures.
++ **Fault-tolerant**, with built-in error handling and stack backtracing
++ **Robust by design**, using mechanisms like proactive deadlock detection
+ and driver isolation
+
+A significant amount of effort has gone into crafting clean abstractions,
+implementing advanced kernel features, and applying performance optimizations
+throughout the system.
+
+To better illustrate the scope of work already done, the following non-exhaustive
+list outlines currently supported features in Lunaix:

+## Compile and Build
+
+Building lunaix is simple, no more bloated dependencies to install, basic

++ gcc (recommend v12+)
++ binutils
++ make
++ python (recommend v3.11+)

+## Limitations
+
+The development process is still in motion, any limitation can be categorised as
+a feature yet to be. However, some features that the author considered to be the
+most urgent and wish the matters to be discussed.
+
+Lunaix is under impression of uniprocessor and not capable of running in SMP
+environment. This is major held back of being a modern operating system. It has
+the highest priority among all other tasks
+
+Lunaix do not have a mature (or even, an infant) user space ecosystem, mainly
+because the lack of a proper and sophisticated libc. Efforts need to be done for
+porting one to the target. However, given the author's tight schedule, this task
+is unfortunately still beyond the horizon.

+## Appendix 2: Debugging with GDB remotely via UART
+
+**(((( Broken after a refactoring years ago, need rework ))))**
+
+
+ Click to expand
+The LunaixOS kernel comes with a built-in GDB debugging server, which runs on
+COM1@9600Bd. However, LunaixOS must be in debug mode before involving GDB.
+
+One could trigger the debug mode by writing a byte sequence `0x40` `0x63` `0x6D`
+`0x63`, to the same serial port. A text "DEBUG MODE" with magenta-coloured background shall be present at the bottom of the screen.
+
+Note that, whenever the text appears, the LunaixOS always halt all activities
+other than the debugging server, which means no scheduling and no external
+interrupt servicing. Users are now recommended to attach their GDB and drive
+the kernel with the debugging workflow.
+
+Currently, LunaixOS implements the required minimal server-side command subset
+required by GDB Remote Protocol, namely, `g`, `G`, `p`, `P`, `Q`, `S`, `k`, `?`,
+`m`, `M`, `X`. Which should be enough to cover most debugging activities.
+
+When debugging is finished, one shall disconnect with `kill` command. This
+command will not force LunaixOS to power down the computer, instead it just
+resume the execution (identical behavior as `c` command). However, disconnecting
+does not means exiting of debug mode. The debug mode is still actived and any
+subsequent GDB attaching request shall remain the highest priority amongst all
+other activity. One shall deactivate the debug mode by writing byte sequence
+`0x40` `0x79` `0x61` `0x79` to the port, after GDB detached.

+Currently, one should avoid the use of `info stack`, `bt` or any other command
+that involves stack unwinding or stack backtracing. As it will somehow corrupt
+the stack layout and result in undefined behaviour. This issue should be
+addressed in future releases.
