detached_prx··on SkiftOS: A hobby OS built from scratch using C/C++ for ARM, x86, and RISC-V
Thank you for the reply, one more thing. Did you study established code bases and/or books to guide you through the architecture process and initial implementation? If so, how do you take advantage of these resources without falling into the trap of "borrowing" implementation while trying to build your vision?

What you did here is really cool and inspiring :).

Hi monax, I would like to hear how you started the project. I am also currently trying to implement my own micro kernel, with hopes of doing something similar to SkiftOS in order to learn OS fundamentals, but I don't know how to start. What are the first things to tackle when taking on such a project?
