HVF operating system
HVF aims to be a hypervisor OS for z/Architecture systems.
It is currently in a very heavy development, and large portions are not yet
implemented.
The initial development was done with
Hercules, an open source emulator
(supporting almost everything z/Architecture has to offer), but since I've
gotten a z/VM 5.2 account (thank you Dave Jones), more and more testing and
debugging happens on a real mainframe. This makes development easier, and
forces me to make sure that it actually works on real hardware :)
Requirements
All you need is a z/Architecture mainframe or an emulator. The default
configuration assumes you have 32MB of storage, and a 3215 console as
device 0009.
Download
I use
Git to maintain the HVF code. You can
browse the history
http://repo.or.cz/w/hvf.git,
or clone from git://repo.or.cz/hvf.git. E.g.,
$ git clone git://repo.or.cz/hvf.git
Alternatively, you can try to use a release
tarball.
