An Update of the Most Practical A-to-Z Operating System Book Widely
lauded for avoiding the typical black box approach found in other
operating system textbooks, the first edition of this bestselling
book taught readers how an operating system works and explained how
to build it from the ground up. Continuing to follow a logical
pattern for system design, Operating System Design: The Xinu
Approach, Second Edition removes the mystery from operating system
design and consolidates the body of material into a systematic
discipline. It presents a hierarchical design paradigm that
organizes major operating system components in an orderly,
understandable manner. The book guides readers through the
construction of a conventional process-based operating system using
practical, straightforward primitives. It gives the implementation
details of one set of primitives, usually the most popular set.
Once readers understand how primitives can be implemented on
conventional hardware, they can then easily implement alternative
versions. The text begins with a bare machine and proceeds
step-by-step through the design and implementation of Xinu, which
is a small, elegant operating system that supports dynamic process
creation, dynamic memory allocation, network communication, local
and remote file systems, a shell, and device-independent I/O
functions. The Xinu code runs on many hardware platforms. This
second edition has been completely rewritten to contrast operating
systems for RISC and CISC processors. Encouraging hands-on
experimentation, the book provides updated code throughout and
examples for two low-cost experimenter boards: BeagleBone Black
from ARM and Galileo from Intel.
