Welcome to our comprehensive kernel development course, meticulously designed for learners who are interested in creating a multitasking operating system and kernel from the ground up. This course assumes no previous experience in kernel programming, ensuring a complete understanding of concepts starting from the basics. This is the code repository you will build from scratch when learning kernel development in our kernel course.
The course is divided into several main sections:
- Real Mode Development
- Protected Mode Development
- Assembly Language Bonus
Each section offers a unique perspective on kernel development and is designed to build your skills incrementally.
This is your introduction to kernel development, here we cover:
- The boot process and how memory works
- Writing a boot loader in assembly language
- Working with interrupts in real mode
- Reading a sector (512 bytes) from the hard disk
Delve deep into the creation of a 32-bit multi-tasking kernel featuring:
- FAT16 filesystem implementation
- Memory management and virtualization techniques
- Keyboard driver implementation
- ELF file loader creation
- Design of a virtual filesystem layer (inspired by Linux kernel)
- Process and task functionality
If you struggle with assembly language, this bonus section aims to bring your skills up to speed.
This course is taught by an experienced instructor who has developed Linux kernel modules professionally.
- Understanding of the C programming language
- Understanding of Assembly Language
This course is ideal for individuals interested in developing a kernel from scratch.
By the end of the course, you will acquire skills in:
- Creating a kernel from scratch
- Developing a multi-tasking kernel
- Handling problematic programs in your operating system
- Understanding how memory works in computers
- Differentiating between kernel land, user land, and the protection rings
- Learning kernel design patterns used by Linux
- Understanding and implementing virtual memory
- Developing processes and tasks in the kernel
- Loading ELF files
- Debugging disassembled machine code
- Debugging your kernel in an emulator with GDB
