Hooray!!

Now, 0SOS can execute the 32-bit code as well.

That mean, We can use 32bit general registers.

Like eax, esi registers.

I’m so glad.

Look at this:

32Bit!

As you can see, It is completely working.

If you say like this: “I can simply do it, using C Language”

Please, Close this post.

Anyway, I’ve made an effort for understanding.

And success!

Dammit…

Especially, segment table, the range of used memory and stack makes me a headache.

First of all, Following steps are the description for change 16-bit real-mode to 32-bit protect-mode:

First, Organize a GDT table, and then addressing GDT to the processor.

That table’s first elements is NULLDescriptor that is filled 0 in Descriptor element.

Second, We need to define descriptor. Me and author insert Code and Data segment descriptor in GDT.

This step makes me much harder to understand.

I guess code and data descriptor shouldn’t overlap. Something weird is the base address of descriptor and access limitation are the same.

But I just miss understanding.

Dammit…

Eventually, on the current code, specifically on the defined table, segment descriptors doesn’t sperate the code and data area of the memory.

Both of them could address the 0~4GB memory area.

Also, the stack couldn’t be overlapped because stack grows downwards from the top.

(Because that have a 64kb limit. You should see esp and ebp in the code)

So We can find an expression of calculation for a relative address on the example code.

Like (LABEL - $$ + 0x10000).

Anyway, I understand completely.

And then, Third, Set up CR0 Register that manages operating mode.

You can see the table of the setup value below.

And If you want to find more, google it.

After then, You just jump to the 32-bit code area.

Yeah!

Anyway below code is the entry point of my kernel for the 32-bit system:

It won’t hard code to understand. Also, we should change the sector number to 1 for the bootloader.

Surely, real-mode and protected-mode are different for addressing memory.

Well, Well, I’m excited about how much complex on IA-32e mode.

And currently, paging is disabled but if it is enabled…

Anyway, I’ve made a table of the code.

On the vim:

표!

I’m not sure above table correct.

well, Worke is done for 32bit! Let’s write kernel code.
