BareMetal is a 64-bit operating system for x86-64 computers written entirely in Assembly, with a CLI, BMFS filesystem support, and 60+ system calls for apps written in Assembly, C/C++, or Rust. This legacy repo is no longer updated; development moved to the BareMetal-kernel repository.
Use cases
- run a minimal mono-tasking OS for high performance computing cluster nodes
- build embedded applications on commodity x86-64 hardware
- learn x86-64 assembly programming and OS fundamentals
- experiment with a lean OS that uses all available CPUs
- boot a small OS from hard drive or network
When to choose
- you need a minimal, high-performance mono-tasking OS for x86-64
- you want to study or teach operating system and assembly fundamentals
- you target embedded x86-64 applications without a general-purpose OS
When to avoid
- you need a maintained or actively developed OS (use BareMetal-kernel instead)
- you need a general-purpose desktop OS with drivers and software ecosystem
- you need multi-tasking, networking stacks, or broad hardware support
