Harvey is an effort to provide a modern, distributed, 64 bit operating system. A different environment for researching and finding new lines of work. It can be built with gcc and clang and has an ANSI/POSIX compliant subsystem.

For now it runs in x86_64 (amd64) machines, RISC-V and soon in ARMv8 (AArch64/A64). We are improving the kernel and userland, trying to bring up a full usable operating system that is different and, at the same time, keeps ideas and concepts from other platforms that influenced the computing world for years.

Features
  • AMD 64 bit
  • Modern, simplified syscall system
  • GCC toolchain means you can use gdb(!)
  • Clang and Intel C Compiler compatible
  • Compile in Linux or OSX using Harvey’s headers and libs, no need to change anything else
  • Fast compilation of the whole system
  • A large set of userland apps available
  • Plans to add a new GUI, a new fileserver, native toolchains and more
  • Go programming language port available.
