This folder contains the source for OS/K's bootloader.
|
|
OS/K being intended to only run on x86-64 systems, we have not divided
|
|
this folder into one sub-folder per architecture.
|
|
|
|
The bootloader itself is external to the OS/K project. We are using GRUB 2 to load
|
|
our kernel loader in memory.
|
|
|
|
The kernel loader, that we call the loader, is the main subject of this folder.
|
|
This loader is intended to load the ELF64 kernel at the specified address and
|
|
prepare it for the hard work it have to do :
|
|
|
|
- Parsing the ELF64
|
|
- Load the kernel
|
|
- Prepare a structure for it with memory map, cpu infos, and other devices infos.
