The little book about OS development (2012) [pdf]

One of the authors here, if you any questions, feel free to ask!<p>Me and Adam, <a href="https://github.com/tgwizard" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;tgwizard</a>, wrote the book based on our experiences writing aenix, <a href="https://github.com/helino/aenix" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;helino&#x2F;aenix</a>.

Very nice, a guide like this would have saved me a full year at some point in the past.<p>Note that this is 32 bit specific. I&#x27;d be very interested in a 64 bit version of this.

I think the main part that is missing is an in depth analysis of what we actually want from an OS.<p>Building an OS from scratch is nice, but I think the requirements may have changed since the 80s. :)

Is there a similar guide available for ARM? x86 seems pretty messy.

Would be lovely if someone try to something similar with Trillek&#x27;s computer. should be more easy to do a little OS, as there isn&#x27;t MMU, segments or privileged levels to be worried. A simple 32 bit cpu with a flat memory model, and a simple instruction set.

Trying to link the kernel with the GNU ld script on page 12 of the PDF, I get this error:<p>ld:link.ld:5: syntax error<p>Not familiar with GNU ld script syntax, anyone know how to fix this?

This book is under 100 pages. Awesome! This is what I was looking for. :)

this is exactly what is was looking for , thank you

Why not just link it to <a href="http://littleosbook.github.io/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;littleosbook.github.io&#x2F;</a> - While PDFs are fine, it takes so long for it to load when compared to a HTML page.
