Nanvix is an operating system created by Pedro H. Penna for educational purposes. It was designed from scratch to be small and simple, and yet modern and fully featured, so that it could help enthusiasts in operating systems, to learn about kernel hacking. The first release of Nanvix came out in early 2011, and since then the system has undergone through several changes. This paper details the internals of Nanvix 1.2. All previous and future releases are available at www.github.com/ppenna/nanvix, under the GPLv3 license.
