  • 64bit-os-tutorial

    This OS Tutorial expands on the fundamental concepts covered in cfenollosa/os-tutorial and covers entering long mode on the x86_64 architecture. It also uses clang rather than relying on an external crosscompiler. I plan on keeping it up to date, so feel free to submit an issue!

  • I found this github repo very helpful, it is a basic x86_64 bootloader and a simple main function. I liked it because it is just something working that get's you going, it's also very good documented and from there you can start adding your own things.
