learning to develop an operating system from the basics

Post by sithlord »

Hi all,

I'm interested in pushing my programming ambitions to designing an operating system from the beginning (coding a kernel) to ... basically as far as it goes but with all the information available i'm not sure which resources (books, etc) i should read and reference before i get started. Any advice and guidance provided is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Do you want to do it all in Asm, C or something else?
A good place to start is pria the OS dev wiki.

I'd recommend you stick to x86, as there seems to be a lot more wiki style documentation for that than say, ARM.

I'm pretty sure he's serious. x86 definitely has the most examples you can look at to learn some tricks *cough*stealcode*cough*
