Mini Project 2: Operating Systems and Networks

Overview

This mini-project consisted of two main parts:

1. XV6 File Management
2. Networking
   • Part A: Local network TCP and UDP communication
   • Part B: Implementing partial TCP functionality with UDP

• More details about each part are in the dedicated readme files in the respective directories.
• For specs visit the website (Open .html file in the website directory.)

Part 1: XV6 File Management

Description

This part involves working with the XV6 operating system, specifically focusing on file management. The implementation is done in the src directory of the initial-xv6 folder.

Assumptions

• RISC-V XV6 is used for the implementation.
• All specifications are implemented as per the project requirements.

Building and Running XV6

To build and run XV6, follow these steps:

1. Ensure you have a RISC-V "newlib" toolchain and QEMU compiled for riscv64-softmmu.
2. Run the following commands:

make clean
make qemu

Files and Directories

• initial-xv6/src/: Contains the source code for the XV6 operating system.
• README.md: Provides additional information about the XV6 implementation.

Part 2: Networks

Description

Part A: Local network TCP and UDP communication

Implementation of a simple tic-tac-toe game using TCP and UDP communication protocols. The implementation is done in the PART A directory of the networks folder.

Part B: Implementing partial TCP functionality with UDP

Implementation of a simple chat using UDP. The implementation is done in the PART B directory of the networks folder.

Assumptions

• The implementation is done using C.
• All specifications are implemented as per the project requirements.
