What's New in v3.1!

Pure ARM64 Native Core & UEFI Support

• Full ARM64 Architecture: The system runs natively on AArch64 (ARMv8-A / ARMv9-A / Apple Silicon / Snapdragon / Cortex-A) in Exception Level 1 (EL1), unlocking massive memory addressability and modern RISC instruction sets.
• ARM64 UEFI Boot Manager: A custom-built UEFI bootloader (BOOTAA64.EFI) ensures compatibility with modern hardware, Apple Silicon, UTM, VirtualBox 7+, and seamless high-resolution graphics initialization via GOP.

Native TCP/IP Networking

• Standalone Stack: Integration with LwIP alongside a custom, bare-metal TCP/IP stack built into the kernel. No more Python proxies required.
• RTL8139 & VirtIO Driver Integration: High-speed raw packet handling directly over hardware interfaces, providing reliable networking for the shell and system services.

Native Ext4 & FAT32 Filesystem Support

• Direct Disk Mounting: A native Ext4/FAT32 filesystem driver capable of parsing Superblocks and Inode tables directly from AHCI SATA & NVMe storage.
• AHCI DMA Storage: High-performance storage access utilizing advanced DMA for disk I/O.

Nexus V4 ULTRA Scripting

• Modular Language Engine: The Nexus engine supports multi-line script execution and native module importing.
• Native Directives: Support for +add and import syntax for loading system-level libraries and cross-language modules.

Text-Mode Console & System Shell

• TextConsole Engine: A fast and robust text rendering engine that handles standard system I/O directly via the framebuffer and PL011 UART serial.
• Interactive Shell: A full-featured command-line environment (shell.cpp) allowing for direct system interaction, driver diagnostics, and task management.

Build & Run Instructions

To compile and run TiwutOS Kernel v3.1 for ARM64:

1. Build for ARM64:

   ./build.sh

   (or ./build_arm64.sh)

2. Launch in QEMU / VM:

   ./run.sh

   (or ./run_arm64.sh)

3. Clean All Build Artifacts: All intermediate files, objects, images, and ISOs are isolated in the build/ directory for simple one-command cleanup:

   ./clean.sh

(Note: See ARM64_GUIDE.md for detailed instructions on running TiwutOS ARM64 on Apple Silicon Macs, Windows Snapdragon devices, UTM, VirtualBox 7+, and QEMU).
