    Question I want to build my own OS

    Hi!

    I want to build my own Operating System (OS), I need to find the following tool:

    Code View (CV) Debugger which must be freeware.


    I don't know where to find, another this how do I point up the ASCII color and numbers words and other into a Welcome start screen which is loading the OS and the Kernel.

    Where can I get the tools If I want to build my own OS.

    Have a great day..

    It's ok, but not a trivial task. What are you exactly trying to do? This forums is not about OS design, unless you are speaking about compiling your own linux OS from the ground.

    , I need to find the following tool:
    It's ok as well, but what the hell is that related to "I want to build my own OS"??? CV is just a debugger, not a magic OS builder. If it's freeware, google for it. It shouldn't be hard to find it.

    another this how do I point up the ASCII color and numbers words and other into a Welcome start screen which is loading the OS and the Kernel.
    You seem to be completely lost. To build a bootloader is not a big task, but it's certainly not something that easy as to throw color deffinitions and text into a welcome screen. Again, if you want to use a linux bootloader, google for "grub" and "lilo", which are two famous ones. Post again with a concrete question once you have a clear view of what do you want.

    Where can I get the tools If I want to build my own OS.

    Have a great day..
    No idea. If you really want to build your own OS, then:

    1.- buy a book about c language
    2.- buy a book about operating systems design
    3.- start programming for a few months 7/24
    4.- then start hacking into the linux kernel

    If you mean you want to install linux from source or customize it, then look into "linux from scratch" or "gentoo". Google.

    If this doesn't answer your question, please, try to be more specific. It's really hard to understand what do you mean.

    Swagata Paul's link is to a post by him on his own blog elsewhere. He writes:
    The first step to build a new OS is, to build a new boot loader.
    The prerequisite is --- assembly language, Computer system booting.
    I have build my own small boot loader using "nasm" -- a free Linux assembler.

    I can give you the first tutorial, then 2d and so on... if you need so.

    Add your comment. I will help u.
    That's one alternative. Another is to google this:
    Code:
    "boot loader" design
    Among multiple entries which are not useful are a few which are quite useful indeed.

    Between Swagata Paul's individualized help and these pre-written articles, you should be fine in the bootstrap loader design process.

    Good luck!

    That was rather my feeling, not in terms of rules, but in terms of building community, and that's why I added my post. I wanted to do so in a way consistent with the meek, mild-mannered guy that I am. :)

    Hi! you seem not to anderstand stuff???

    I wan't to build my own OS Platform which could allow other softwares run on a higher level system.

    The OS isn't going to use the same OS references AS LINUX, WINDOWS and MAC It's going to have it's own system and the based area is a liter bit complicated.

    Next, I need the right tools I have a computer running Windows XP pro and I have also the WMware Desktop 6.0 where I could run virtual PC systems. And there I'm testing Linux RED HAT 7 and other linux types.

    I have also analyzed some lines in the Visopsys OS and MS Singularity OS which IS freeware OPEN.

    But I need the right tools for the job and I have a great book about Assembler language. In that BOOK they used The CV Code View and with the code view I could compile Assembler code in Windows and test it inside a Virtual Machine.

    I'm also working with MS Visual Studio I've seen I guy which have builded softwares from assembler code in Visual Studio.

    Have a great day...

    Send you what? You do not have access to google? My intent was that you browse through google's search results and find what's useful for you.

    Sure. That's what I said. I did not understand you very well on your first post. Now that I am sure what are you doing I have a couple of questions.

    But I need the right tools for the job and I have a great book about Assembler language. In that BOOK they used The CV Code View and with the code view I could compile Assembler code in Windows and test it inside a Virtual Machine.
    Which kind of tools? You seem to have the background, the documentation, the compiler and the virtual machine to test and try. What else do you need?

    If it's just a bootloader what you are missing, you should look into grub, lilo or any of the other available ones. Even if you don't plan to use them, they are simple pieces of software (relatively) and they are OS agnostic, so, any of them can be studied and used as a base for your own loader.

    I understood your purpose generally speaking, I think, but I still don't understand what are the pieces that you are missing. Try to be a bit more specific about what exactly do you need.

    Cheers and luck on that mission
