OS Development

nick123

     I've been studying assembly language for a long long long time, and I want to try OS Development. I've heard of MikeOS it was entirely written in real mode assembly. I looked over the code of MikeOS and now I feel very discouraged. It is a lot of complicated code just for a simple os.

 

MikeOS - simple x86 assembly language operating system

    Read Labrosse' book about uC/OS-II. That is about the easiest book (practical oriented) on operating systems for microcontrollers.

    There is a good book by Tannenbaum but it would be a bit scary for a beginner.

    There are also books on OS theory - depends on how deep you want to go - from your comments it sounds like you want to examine real implementations though.

     

    There really is no need to study assembler for a long time, because only the bare minimum needs to be written in assembler for an OS.

    (The rest is all about optimisation, and often a C compiler is very good).

    Writing more than the minimum could mean that your OS is harder to port to different processor architectures.
