BasicKernel
|
|
===========
|
|
This is code that I've been writing for a basic kernel from the [Writing a Simple Operating System from Scratch](https://web.archive.org/web/20241112015613/http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~exr/lectures/opsys/10_11/lectures/os-dev.pdf) book.

Compiling
|
|
---------
|
|
I cross-compile from `x86_64` to `i686` on my machine. You will require `i686-elf-gcc` and `nasm` (as well as all the rest of the GNU binutils for `i686`) and you can run the final image using [QEMU](https://www.qemu.org/). To compile just run `make`.

Code Structure
|
|
--------------
|
|
- `boot/`: code necessary for the boot process (i.e. loading the kernel and switching to 32-bit protected mode).
|
|
- `kernel/`: code related to the kernel itself.
|
|
- `drivers/`: interface code that simplifies interaction with hardware devices.
|
|
- `bin/`: binary directory where final `os-image` is stored.
