In FYSOS: The System Core, the first volume of the FYSOS: Operating System Design series, the reader is guided through the process of creating a multi-threading operating system from the point the computer boots up, through the boot code, the file system loader, and finally to the kernel. The book provides detailed explanations of every step of the process involved in creating a minimum working operating system, such as retrieving information from the BIOS, finding partitions on the media, moving to 32-bit protected mode, creating a memory manager, a task scheduler, and other necessities of operating system design.

Accompanied by a CD-ROM that contains the complete source code of the minimal operating system as well as many development utilities, this book also offers suggestions, examples, and other source code to assist the reader in building their own operating system. The series of books on operating system design does not aim for readers to create the next great wonder of the computer world, but rather to help readers interested in controlling the computer’s hardware, from the point the BIOS releases execution to their boot code to the point of a fully working Graphical User Interface.

While a strong knowledge of x86 Assembly Language programming and a moderate knowledge of an Intel/AMD x86 computer’s hardware is expected to be held by readers, there is no requirement for a deep understanding of operating system design.
