OS Tutorial - Learn to Create an Operating System from Scratch
A comprehensive guide and code examples for building a simple operating system from the ground up. Ideal for understanding low-level system programming and computer architecture.
Project Introduction
Summary
This project provides a step-by-step tutorial and accompanying code to walk you through the process of creating a minimal operating system kernel capable of running basic processes. It covers essential concepts from boot loaders to memory management.
Problem Solved
Learning the fundamentals of how an operating system works requires delving into low-level concepts often abstracted away by modern languages and frameworks. This project demystifies OS creation, providing practical experience rather than just theoretical knowledge.
Core Features
Step-by-Step Guide
Detailed explanations covering boot process, protected mode, memory management, and basic process handling.
Modular Code Examples
Cleanly separated code for each chapter, allowing users to build the OS incrementally and understand individual components.
