CP/M-386: CP/M for 386 protected mode, derived from CP/M-68K

CP/M-386 is a new version of CP/M specifically designed to run in the protected mode of Intel 386 processors. It is based on the earlier CP/M-68K system. As of now, CP/M-386 is still in the very early stages of development. It is expected to be highly compatible with other similar systems, reporting BDOS 2.2 to applications. To compile CP/M-386, users need to use a version of cpmtools version 2.23 or later, as older versions may contain bugs.

The software can be built on several current operating systems such as NetBSD, FreeBSD, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9, CentOS Stream 9, and Fedora 36 and later. For those unable to build CP/M-386 natively, a Docker-based Fedora build is available. Users can also choose to use additional targets like clean, test, lint, update-readme, and build with the Clang compiler.
