OSDev.org

I'm really noob and my question is...
I'm looking for tutorials about OS development and everybody uses the same two languages:
-ASM for bootloader
-C, C++ for 'kernel'
Ok. I was wondering if I could use a language different from C in kernel development. I program in Pascal, qnd, finally, my question is:
Is it possible to make the Kernel in Pascal?
Or another question:
If I have a program written in PASCAL, can I make it boot? (I know it would be NOT an operating system, but I'm really interested in booting my own PASCAL programs...)
Thanks, and sorry for the bad english.

There is a lot of threads on this subject. You should read them, try searching the forum.

Yes probably it is possible to do that (I know noyhin about QND, I haven't heard for it), but you should use language which makes your job easier, not harder! Isn't that right?
And I think there is Pascal OS projects around the Net.

Yes, it's possible (so I've heard). See An OSFAQ Link.

Second, I think there are some fellow Pascal coders who have posted here before on the topic. Try a search. And if you're still confused, they might be able to help you (if they are so inclined).

Happy... pascaling?

Yes pascal is a great language, that can do anything that C can do, but better, second only to asm .
Here is a freepascal OS, with fully commented pascal code, that will get you started, it also free to use if you want to build on it.

You might want to take a look here

someone posted a link to a ready-to-use "extended barebones" for freepascal. You can grab it from the "BareBones" page of the FAQ.

i'm also mirroring it with fluid=f4429174c6941581ca089553d4342047 just in case...

Pascal can do it better? I don't think so... :-\
Well I don't even think that Pascal is great language (but that's my opinion).
