Paging or else

Post by Ozguxxx »

Hi everybody. I am in a two way path and I dont know which to choose. I got some theoritical knowledge about paging stuff but I dont know if it is vital for writing drivers. (floppy disk, keyboard, etc.) I am not sure if I should think about paging or is there another thing that I should do before paging?

just make your printf and putc libs before paging - that's what I did

my personnal milestone choices:

- a working pmode where you can have interrupts
- a working debugging interface (display messages, wait for keypress, stack trace, exception handler & reporting)
- a working memory management (malloc-like)
- paging support
- modules support
- multithreading
- multiprocessing

now, as i made a *micro*kernel, device drivers weren't a priority for me ... some ppl could find you should have a disk driver before you start multithreading ...
