Device Driver

Can anyone recomend me a good website that teaches how to write device drivers? (either Windows XP or Linux Ubuntu)

If you are making a car engine OS, it's probably a scheduler and many application tasks.

If EE's in the 60's can have opinions on what makes an OS, so can I.

The scheduler is what I think of.

Technically, a commodore 64 had an OS without a scheduler, but that's not what I think of, normally.

I wrote a disassembler and I have a table for looking-up symbols in memory.

I wrote a compiler and obviously an assembler and disassembler.  Compiler is an order of magnitude more work than assembler.

I'm a professional and you're not.  My boss at Ticketmaster wrote our PASCAL compiler in a year and this other dude wrote the VAX assembler/Linker.

Awesome, /prog/ is fixed.

I'm a white-hat.  I worked on TM's barcode reader networking device.

I wouldn't tell you.

Just 450 lines of code.

Honsetly, "kernel" to me is mostly "scheduler" and "compiler" has at least reasonable optimization.

Depending on how much optimization, a compiler could very easily be two orders of magnitude bigger than an assembler.

Even if you can update the frame buffer, unless you have help from the GPU doing 3D rendering and stuff, you will not have the power for anything.

One more time, "Why do you think they make GPU's?  Are they not needed and people are stupid?"

"kernel" = "scheduler" + "pager" + "drivers" * "GRUNNUR";

I did a flight simulator and saw that higher resolutions would be too hard to make games for without GPU help.  Maybe if you're Carmack you could make games, but it unless you want to get really clever on games...

I've heard of rail-car games.  If you're doing a lot of that sort of thing...

As long as you dson't claim my work, Mike, we can be friends.  All I get are emails from FBI.  I have no idea how many people use LoseThos.

I really don't want to be a teaching OS.  I'd rather be a cheap thrills OS, like when I was a kid with a C64 doing raw disk block access and following chains of disk blocks, etc.

What do you guys think of "Cheap Thrills OS" as a name?

called in the doctor, who felt his pulse and was not very well satisfied
with it, and said that in any case it would be well for him to attend to
the health of his soul, as that of his body was in a bad way. Don Quixote
heard this calmly; but not so his housekeeper, his niece, and his squire,
who fell weeping bitterly, as if they had him lying dead before them. The
doctor's opinion was that melancholy and depression were bringing him to

That's FBI court-room evidence --"See that, You lie!  Commodore", says they.

My response: That's Windows, it's nothing to do with Commodore.  Can you access raw disk blocks?  It's a mundane protected operating system that is clearly a windows wannabe with zero innovation.

LoseThos is full of innovation and distinguishes itself from Windows.

Take the time to watch my videos and have experts explain what I'm saying:

God of Israel.

LoseThos has nothing with Commodore or nostalgia.  It's a npon-networked ring-zero-only single-address-map system that, in terms of what you would do with it, is like commodore 64s.  There's nothing to fear.  Are you going to convascate C64's?

It's 64-bit and multicored so... what took programming experts like the Carmacks of the 1980's can be done by teenagers.

More power makes it ewasier to get stuff done.

BBC is court room "Is your old car from last decade..."  Fuck You.  it's 64-bit and multicored.  "Then it's not a C64, you're a robot terrorist hacker."

Fuck off bitch and go back to the yuck.

LoseThos uses "PIO" not "DMA" for disk access.  PIO is more compatible and simpler, but not as fast.

I would point-out my high Google rank and say "It's compatibility [that matters], stupid!"

I'm in a strange reality, though.

You disappoint me, /prog/.

Right, so trivial and undeserving of attention that the Linux kernel includes an entire subsystem dedicated to the loading and unloading of different schedulers...

Anyway...
