Don’t get your hopes up. This isn’t going to be a tutorial how to create an operating system nor even a kernel. I just thought to list some links I found even remotely useful. I intend to add more links as I encounter them.
Tutorials:
Other sites:
OSDev wiki contains few how-to-get-started-tutorials for those who don’t know how to start.
Friendly notes:
- Don’t write your own operating system if you’re unhappy with Windows or Linux. It will take a very long time for your own to get in usable state and even longer to get something like OpenOffice.
- Operating system development is hard. It would be mean to say that your OS/kernel will never run Unix, Windows, DOS, OS/2 and Mac software/games, but that’s how it most likely will be.
- You will need determination, lots of it.
- If you don’t know C, don’t try this until your C skills are far way beyond “Hello world”-phase. You will encounter assembly too…
- Bootloader? You don’t need to create one if you can settle with already existing choices such as GRUB.
- C library? You cannot use the one in your host system and unless you port some C-library, you have to write one yourself. They say Newlib is portable…
