Starting With The Binary System - Operating System Creation

ferrari: You are not writing correct English, as you're not using English grammar. In some cases you're not even using the proper words to describe your intent.

It is as if you're using Google translate to translate from your language, which has a substantially different syntax and semantic meaning for a lot of the words. Kinda like translating from Russian to English, or the other way. Try taking a properly written English text, and translate into your language, and you should see what we're talking about.

 

I have attempted to showcase a bit of my intentions in regards to English, and have also addressed this topic of the thread again, to complete it a bit.

 

Despite having admitted to have messed up this topic, which has given me a hard time to formulate it, I can not really relate to what you are addressing. Unless you are choosing something specific to showcase the "incorrect" English you are stating to perceive.

 

Addressing your post. You do start with a sentence which does not extend properly, I am saying this since you have addressed "the grammar". In the following sentence you are addressing the proper use of words, and have the word "intent" in use, where I still do suspect it, since a word needs to be pronounceable in English. And I am saying this despite the fact that Meriam-Webster has it defined. Furthermore, Google Translate which you have mentioned, is experienced buggy on my side.

 

I do not imagine your last suggestion as much as beneficial, to have that suggestion addressed as well, and this writing completed as such.

So, you want to create an OS? PHP is not suited for this task, instead you should look at Java or C. Also I really advice against writing this from scratch since it's easy to get it wrong and really screw up your computer.

If you really just want to experiment and familiarize yourself with the hardware side of things. I strongly recommend you try: http://www.raspberrypi.org/

Thanks for the links, Ignace, I will have a closer look at those.

 

As stated, this topic has been troublesome to tap it out for me, where I would mess up the writing consequently.

 

When thinking it through I brought it to the following scenario, which still does lead to the question I was initially interested in.

 

Let's say a display has a hardware controller connected to it, where the hardware controller can switch the color on the display - for example from "green" to "yellow". Now, it comes to the question, how such basic function can be saved as software on a hard disk drive, so that the switching of the color can happen with the typing keyboard.

 

Basically, this scenario, this process, has been the interest of mine.

 

It may simply require LEDs with a hardware controller to switch the color in the electrical engineering field. Whereas, in the scenario with the display it may require the arrow keys for the navigation and the return key for the confirmation of a typing keyboard to have the control over the switching of the color. As a further notice, the functions "previous" and "next" are used for the switching of the color.

 

Where, exactly this scenario does lead, again, to the question of how such basic functions (like "previous" and "next") are saved in a software on the hard disk drive, so that the functions can be called simply with the typing keyboard. And, also, not to be forgotten, it does require the set of colors, one can switch in between as well.

It can be just one key on the typing keyboard to switch the color on the display. Which I do state, to have it even more stripped down.

 

To have the software working, two colors need to be defined and the switching function needs to be defined, where the function can be controller by one key on the typing keyboard already.

 

Considering, that the software is saved on the hard drive disk, the "booting" does become a question, which is something the BIOS does take over.

Special! However, because I do not think you will be well on your communication efforts, a period of criminal force and our love and our silly silly ramblings, and in particular, the decline and decay of garbage we must take the command of the interperet wrong on your objectives, are produced. If you choose to speak English with someone I do not know the words to insult doubt, I will use my years of experience, you can be the only logical conclusion is nothing but train. Perhaps too.

 

And I mean every word. Troll.

Considering, that the software is saved on the hard drive disk, the "booting" does become a question, which is something the BIOS does take over.
