OSDev.org

Good morning, evening or night,

some links on the forum don't work anymore because the page they reference doesn't exist anymore. I noticed this with the specification link of the DeviceTree-article (https://wiki.osdev.org/Devicetree), which should point to this GitHub-repository: https://github.com/devicetree-org/devic ... /releases/.

Other links which don't work are on the pages:

Raspberry Pi Barebones

• PrimeCell UART (PL011) Technical Reference Manual
  It should be: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0183/latest/
• BCM2837 ARM Peripherals
  It should be one of:
  • https://www.raspberrypi.com/documentati ... ssors.html
  • https://cs140e.sergio.bz/docs/BCM2837-A ... herals.pdf
• Note: The Raspberry Pi 3 isn't the newest one; maybe it'd be good to update this to "Raspberry Pi 5B".

Executable Format: ELF

• LSB Specifications
• x86-64 ABI

Executable Format: PE

• PE Specification: latest edition, OOXML format (loads forever)
• PE Specification: 1999 edition, DOC format
• http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierrelib/exec_ ... _v1.0.html (Domain no longer exists)
• http://perso.wanadoo.fr/pierrelib/exec_ ... _v1.1.html (Domain no longer exists)

Executable Format: MZ

• A closer look at Portable Executable MS-DOS Stub

Filesystem: FAT

• http://gitorious.org/unix-stuff/fat-util - Utility to read, remove and extract files on FAT12, 16 and 32
  (their server is doing funky stuff - at least for me)
• Note: Wikipedia has an excellent article on the FAT filesystems. Maybe it could be linked on that page.

Filesystem: ext2

• State of the Art: Where we are with the Ext3 filesystem

Filesystem: NTFS

• The Linux NTFS project (links to tuxera)
• NTFS-3G Read/Write Drivers For Linux/FreeBSD/BeOS (links to tuxera)
• Apple Open Source NTFS site (was removed, but it's Apple anyways)

Universal Serial Bus (USB)

• USB.org (the link contains the /home - path element; it redirects to usb.org (without /home))
• Universal Serial Bus Revision 3.2 Specification (The link was updated usb.org's end)
• Wireless USB Specification Revision 1.1 (The page was removed, which makes sense)
• USB Made Simple (doesn't exist anymore; domain squatting is being exercised)

There's some more stuff that doesn't work, but I only looked through those few pages.

I just wanted to write that stuff down here because of my (for a good reason) lacking modification permissions. Please don't take this offensively; I just want to give back to the osdev.org - wiki because it has helped me lots. Keep up the good work!
