Description

Have you ever wanted to build your own operating system, but didn't know where to begin? Then this book is for you! In this book, the author explains everything you need to know from getting and installing the necessary tools to writing, compiling, deploying, and testing your very own operating system. By the time you are done you will have an operating system to call your own. And, don't worry about destroying your existing hardware and software environment as everything in this book is written with the intention of running in a virtualized environment. However, should you choose to do so, the author also explains how to deploy and test your new OS on bare-metal hardware as well. The first few chapters give a brief overview of how modern day computers work. In these chapters you will (re)learn everything from memory allocation, stacks, and bootloaders to low-level machine code and programming languages. After that, you will jump into downloading and installing the tools you will use for building your very own operating system. Here you will learn how to develop a bootloader and kernel just like modern day computers rely on for operating. The last few chapters will explain how to deploy and test your operating system as well as how to expand your OS to do more and even how to cross-compile your shiny new operating system for other devices such as the Raspberry Pi. To give an idea of what you can find in this book, below is the Table of Contents. 0x01 OS Basics 0x02 Intro to Machine Code 0x03 Intro to the Assembly Programming Language 0x04 Into to the C Programming Language 0x05 Getting Started - Installing VirtualBox - Installing Linux - Installing GNOME - Preparing CentOS and the VM - Troubleshooting VirtualBox Guest Additions - Preparing the Development Environment 0x06 Bootstrapping with the Bootloader - Creating the Entry Point - GNU GRUB - Compiling the Entry Point 0x07 Welcome to the Kernel 0x08 Putting it all Together 0x09 Testing Your Operating System 0x0A Starting Your Architecture Library - Expanding the Console 0x0B Expanding Your OS 0x0C Cross-Compiling for Other Architectures - Create a Custom Cross- Compiler - Porting for the Raspberry Pi - Testing on Physical Hardware Conclusion Acknowledgements Appendix Index Read more

    • "Hello world!"
If you think a bare-metal program that jams "Hello world!" into a display controller is an operating system, you'll love it. If you think you can write an interrupt handler without knowing what a stack frame is, you're headed for Dunning-Kruger gold, and this your guidebook. I've written bare-metal applications, and it's a lot of fun. I've done Unix-class operating system development, and it's a lot of fun, and have had fun writing the kind of device driver that lives on a network card ROM where cold start can find it for network booting. (I've also done compiler and mainframe instruction set microcode development, and those are fun, too, but off topic.) Among very many other things: -- You don't see "nothing" after a C string's image in memory. You see a NUL (zero) byte, and that's part of the string, NUL termination is part of the string. Being unable to predict or trust a value is nothing - cold, hard, known, reliable zero isn't nothing.. -- Back in the 1970s, functions like 'strcat' were considered system utilities. Now, they're security vulnerabilities. Please do not accept the suggestion that you include these in your 'operating system'. -- Synchronization primitives might start, but do not end with turning off interrupts. Not by a half-century of computer science and computer architecture development. This developer seems proud of his IoT (Internet of Things) development experience. Well, the recent Mirai attack turned IoT devices (including many security cameras) into advertisements for male enhancement products. I fully understand the "It's Easy! It's Fun!" approach to software development, especially at the lower levels. I also understand the responsibilities or real engineers in building our world. I don't hold a PE as an engineer (unlike other PEs in my family), even software engineer, but I agree strongly with certification for engineers doing life-critical work, I'm well aware of MISRA, FDA,FAA, and DOE standards for software reliability, So, I find it quite odd that this author shows no such awareness. It's fun, yes, it's huge fun. (I've done about as much programming in VHDL as I have in various assemblers or Java.) But, when "the patient might die" or " the bank lost all its money" or "so sorry about that missile" is a possible outcome, it isn't easy. "Hello world!" is not an operating system. Normally, I'd put an unwanted book back into the library system or used market. This time, I feel morally impelled to keep it out of of others' hands. I hope the recycled pulp will make someone's life better. This text certainly won't. -- wiredweird. PS: My wife has been nagging me about writing my own OS text for developers involved with embedded systems; I consider this a kick in the pants. I've taught university OS courses for CS and for EE students, and I think the latter are direly under-served. As an OS text, this serves no one well. ... show more

    • My first thought was that this book is almost useless. But it was actually very useful for me ...
My first thought was that this book is almost useless. But it was actually very useful for me as for the one who wants to understand how the system boots up, what it is expected to have done and everything else related to "I wanna create my own os!". I have a strong knowledge of both C and C++ and a bit of asm (NASM & FASM), so first like 5 chapters were really useless for me, I have just skipped them, there is nothing interesting and so it was like a half of book is skipped which made me sad. But later an interesting information eventually appeared to me: creating a bootloader, starting it, creating kernel entry point and collecting things together into something usable. The book even provides a very-very basic but somewhat an easy kernel with ttys still. If the whole book was written so that it is useful in each page without that useless intros to C and ASM (why would anyone want to buy such a book if he did not know these languages, lol?), I'd give it 5 stars. Now it is like 3.5 for me. Also, the book quality itself could better: it is difficult to open it not in the middle and make it stay opened while you are going to do something (or even read?), it closes itself immediately. ... show more

    • Clear and concise presentation of a big subject.
Absolutely love this book! Of course it is not going to go deep into kernel development, buy operating system concepts or a book on Linux kernel development if you want that (well researched and studied) topic. But if you Simply are curious about how to create something that gets loaded by the bios, sets up a basic terminal and leaves you a hook into developing the capabilities of the kernel, this is your book. I am super grateful that Lucas has broken that process down into a shot and concise step by step guide of which I have never seen presented so easily before. Other reviews referred to it as “simple”, I’d go one step further and just say it was presented “clearly”. Great teachers can make complicated things easier to digest and Lucas has done just that with this book. Highly recommended to anyone that wants to know about the magic between the power button and a loaded OS. And last thing I’ll say is that I love that it is only a little over 100 pages. it gets right to it! Books don’t have to weight 5 lbs to have value. :) ... show more

    • The good part is that this book is motivating
This book guides you through a process of creating a very basic, mostly no-op kernel ("hello world" kernel) for x86 (32-bit) system. There is an introduction to C and Assembley programming languages, introduction to booting process (even writing a basic bootloader). The good part is that this book is motivating: it encourages you to explore the amazing world of low-level systems programming, and it lets you start almost from zero, with little (or no) software development background. The author guides you through a process of creating your own operating system, saving your time to focus on development of OS kerneal and not on fighting with virtual machines/building OS images. The bad part is that it is not as deep as you may expect: operating system is not just something that works directly on a hardware, it is also provides abstraction and isolation mechanisms, managment of resources. So you won't find there information on how virtual memory should work, how processes should run and how to write own file system. If you want to jump start into development of the operating systems, it is a good starting point. But don't expect to find there answers to all possible problems you'll have to solve before you could say "hey, here's my working operating system, try doing something useful on top of it". ... show more
