OS Dev Series: Tutorial 15
Posted: Sat Apr 12, 2008 2:28 pm
Hey everyone,
Tutorial 15: Errors, Exceptions, Interruptions is up.
It covers a few basic concepts to include:
* Error Handling
* Exception Handling
* IRs, IRQs, ISRs
* Gates: Traps, Interrupts, Tasks
* IDTs and IVTs
* IDTR processor register
* LIDT and SIDT instructions
* FLIHs and SLIHs
* How interrupts work, stack, error codes
It covers loading a gdt using MSVC++'s inline assembler, and a new way of installing irq's directly without the need of a common stub routine.
It also provides a workable interface for the hardware abstraction layer (hal.lib/hal.dll)
Please let me know if there are any errors or problems with the tutorial or demo code. I am planning on adding more content to describe the different types of gates a bit further, and exception error codes. Is there anything else I should add? I don't plan on integrating hardware exceptions until the next tutorial. (The demo has been verified to work fine with hardware exceptions, so it should not be to hard)
