I have always wanted to boot OS from scratch.
In this project we are bootstraping kernel via a simple boot sector which loads the kernel into memory and switches to 32-bit protected mode from 16-bit real mode and then calls the kernel code.
Kernel sets up the global descriptor table, interrupt descriptor table, initializes timer, keyboard interrupt and paging.
- Boot from scratch
- Enter 32-bit Protected mode
- Jump from assembly to C
- Interrupt handling
- Keyboard input and output
- A basic libc
- Virtual memory (Paging)
- Ordered array data structure
- Memory Manager
- Basic shell commands
- Multiboot compliant kernel
