    Embeddable Linux Kernel Subset - Linux for 8086

  • https://github.com/jbruchon/elks

    ELKS is a nice Linux subset with a complete toolchain (gcc-ia16) designed for the 8088 (no protected memory and only a stub of an MMU). It's also actively maintained, comes with a dockerfile for fast, reproducible builds, and has plenty of activity.

    Best to test it on actual hardware instead of QEMU, it's much more rewarding.
