DROPS - The Dresden Real-Time Operating System Project

Download!

We have compiled a demonstration diskette image containing Fiasco and some DROPS components.
Feel free to try it out! The download directory contains an image for a 1.44MB floppy disk. The current version is linked here. Updates may appear without further notice.

The image currently contains the GRUB bootloader, Fiasco and some simple applications like hello, a well known "Hello World!" type of program. There're also a demo of the DOpE windowing system running on top of Fiasco as well as some other small programs.

The README file, which is also on the disk, can be found here.
If you have problems or questions concerning the demo diskette, please contact me.

If you are looking for the TUD:OS Demo CD please refer to the Demo CD site.
