Andy & Ram,
What distribution/setup of Linux are you running over there? d:-)
The reason I ask is because I am using KDE's cute little IDE, KDevelop,
and if we all could get using it...we could save ourselves a lot of
problems managing the project and such, due to the use of project files
etc, like in Visual C++. Just an idea. d;-)
Yours,
Gavin.

Folks,
If it is okay with you lot, I would like to start on the scheduler right
away; I think that it is most important that the general architecture
and API calls are set up right, before we get into implementing ELF
support, File Systems etc.
In my view, putting up keyboard and graphics drivers are fine, as these
could form part of the microkernel code. To put it simply, the design I
am thinking of will have a central GUI at the centre, and windows onto
other OS's running simultaneously. An overview of this architecture is
given in the attachment.
cheers,
Gavin.

This list is to discuss thing like this so if you think you have a great API atchitecture use the list. To answer your question no there is no API documentation yet.

Good, after I stuffed CVS up, you can write the driver and submit it. Also a serial driver would be nice for remote debbugging, but the keyboard driver would be needed more.

Thanks, English isn't my strong subject so document writing isn't what I like to do.

Folks, The URL given earlier only leads to a large file containing binaries etc. A full source code implementation can be found at, (if I am not mistaken): ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnumach/ Yours, Gavin. |

Folks, I have been doing some serious homework recently, and have discovered the *perfect* OS architecture that we can use to model our C++ engine on. You may have heard of Mach... Here it all is: Tanenbaum, Andrew (1992) Modern Operating Systems, USA: Prentice-Hall International editions **Read Chapter 15** Mach source code, available at: ftp://ftp.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/data/anonftp/project/mach/src/release/i386.tar.Z Mach is the most advanced OS design on the planet methinks...<|;-) Yours, Gavin. |

Folks,
I've had a nice thought. Perhaps we could all meet in Vienna some day.
We would then be the 'Vienna Circle'. Very Eric-esque... <|:-p
No, seriously, I really would think it would be a good idea if the 'n'
of us could meet up in the near future.
All the best,
Gavin.

Andy and pals, I have rewritten the FAQ into a slightly more structured format, to make it easier to read. The new file README.txt is available under the heading 'general'. <|;-) Hope you dont take this the wrong way, Gav. |

Folks,
Does anyone have a general overview of the intended architecture and API
of Eric? if so, it would be very nice to have a look at it, since I am
in need of a clear specification.
All the best,
Gav.

Andrew,
I think I would like to work on the Kernel scheduler first; pls. give me
any pointers to useful documentation you may have concerning this. d:-)
All the best,
Gavin.

IMHO, the most important part of eric is getting input from the keyboard. Eric also needs file system and executable support. Any other ideas? Andrew |
