The KZfaq algorithm just landed me into a gold mine, this is pure computer science heaven ❤

It's very difficult to find such amazing detailed videos elsewhere. Please continue making them!

man this is just absolute gold. To find videos that focus on the right details and with such clarity and simplicity is amazing.

The step by step walkthrough explanation of the source code of how an operating system's kernel is bootstrapped from asm to C systems level code through showing how the compiler, assembler, linker, etc. sets up the stack frame, system registers, interrupts, exceptions, privileges, modes is just as good as watching Ben Eater's series on how to build a CPU from discrete logic gates and integrated circuits. Job well done. I'd love to see how far this series will go and where it will end up.

This video is really awesome. Keep making these videos please.

God bless youtube for recommending this channel.

spectacular video, i’m so happy someone actually goes through every single step of the process and doesn’t just describe what’s going on generally

This is an absolutely fantastic video. I really enjoyed your prior series on building a bootloader, and this scratches that same itch. I've been a professional developer for almost 30 years, but I've never really worked at such a low level, and I find this stuff fascinating. I'm looking forward to the rest of this series, and would love to see the next series tackle adapting this to physical hardware.

I just find low level programming extremely fascinating and this was very well-done! Thank you!

This is amazing please don't stop; it is very rare to find such in-depth details for low-level explanation . Thank you

One of the best videos I could've hoped for. I'm super excited for this series, please keep it up!

Wow, that's what i would call a great first video of a new series. I think your explanations are perfect for people who have basic soft- and hardware knowledge. Will definitely continue watching this series even tho i will never do systems/kernel programming. Thank you for doing this!

This whole video helped me to refresh a lot about my S.O classes. Seeing and understanding how everything is wired up it's so interesting

This is so fascinating to get a peak under the hood at what a basic operating system involves. Your explanations are very clear and consise, it makes this a great experience to watch

Great video! I really appreciate the emphasis you're putting on understanding code. As someone who's been in the software development field for years, I can vouch for how crucial it is to comprehend different coding styles and logic. Your videos are not just informative but also incredibly valuable for developers at all levels. Even though I've retired, I can still see the need for these resources in the industry. Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more code reading and review videos from you! 👍😊

An absolutely fantastic video man. I hope you continue this series! As someone who studied ECE but does EE as a living now, this is so insightful

High quality content, great to see it here. Enjoyed watching and learning. Big thank you for the efforts that went into this!

I have never written a line of code, barely seen it, of a operating system in my days, yet I find myself intrigued by your videos. That says alot about your storry telling and knowledge!

Wacthed from 0:00 to the last second. It is all interesting. Thank you! You make just the right amount of explaining. The need for this kinda content is really big

This video is an absolute gem, my OS classes didn't go that deep and this really filled the void of how things really start.

Please keep doing this kind of content, you explain it in a very clever way!

great video, looking forward to the rest of this series because it's very time and energy consuming to actually do what you're walking through and explaining. Doing it yourself is a better way to learn but I'm not trying to be able to code an OS, I just find it very interesting to learn how it gets put together and perhaps be more aware. Thanks!

I absolutely love this clear and concise content for low level stuff which is almost non-existent out there on KZfaq. Props for going through actual code as well. Gold for me as an embedded engineer. Subscribed. I changed field to Embedded engineering not long ago but unfortunately I normally write app level stuff and only have to deal with low level stuff once in a while. Thinking about preparing myself as an actual embedded engineer who can architect embedded software from scratch so this sort of video is extremely useful for my future career.

Great video! I'm a user mode developer, but have always been interested on what's going on the other side of the curtain. This was really well presented and clearly explained. Onwards to part two...

Very nice. You step through the process as if you are investigating for the first time. Providing your thoughts and steps is very helpful. I don't know if I will ever use this, but it is interesting just the same.

What a great video. I never expected to find a resource that covers such low-level systems code in such great detail.

Really good video! You explained everything that I didn't know and kept the pace of the video. Looking forward to the next one.

Man, kudos to you. I've been on youtube for many years trying to find a youtube who knows how to tell a story during a tutorial. I love your approach to explaining how OSs works. You have my sub!

Thank you for the great explanation! I have a CS background and work as a software engineer for many years but never had the chance to work on such a low level. I recently read "Operating Systems: Three Easy Pieces" (which is fantastic and can be read freely on the site of the authors) and xv6 was mentioned many times. However, not having the right background I had a hard time understanding the code when I tried to explore it later. This video hits the perfect balance for me of concepts which I know with a new content. I am very interested in seeing the next videos.

I never got the chance of going this deep into CS since I majored in electrical engineering and then transitioned into dev jobs so I've been filling the gaps over the years, I hope you can continue this series sincce there is not a lot of Operating Systems content specially as well explained as this.

Great tutorial, I am going to watch a whole series, your explanations are very detailed, clear and understandable (and I am a self-learner with no real background in CS)

Outstanding video! I appreciate the depth you've gone into. Keep these coming!

thank you. this kind of video is really helpful. this really gives an answer to our curious questions which we always had but never able to find any detailed answers maybe due to lack of access to resources. Your video has really helped me in understanding the concept at low level, and you have really explained in a detailed and orgainsed flow with clear explaination. thank you

This is absolutely amazing! Thank you! I missed out on building an operating system in college. You made it seem so easy here. And now I have a good reason to use Docker.

This is awesome! Beforehand I already watched Ben Eaters 6502 series and watched/read multiple other sources on how operating systems work. This fills that gap perfectly! Thank you :)

I agree with the crowd. Such videos (explanation of each line of code)is much more useful than most of related videos available. Thanks!

Fascinating, deeply deeply fascinating, interested for the continuation, keep up the amazing work 👍🏻

This was super helpful! Please continue doing these. Very inspirational

finally, long-form detailed content I can actually learn from. no snappy edits, no doom-y & clickbait titles, no music and fiesta, just learning together. great video! binging your channel rn.

I took two undergrad OS classes that used xv6 and oh boy does this bring back some memories. But they were some of my favorite classes and it’s super cool to see this kind of material on KZfaq. This video was very well explained and I look forward to watching more videos in this series

Fantastic! Would love to see more! Your teaching is also very clear

Wow, I loved it! Incredibly clear and detailed without being boring ! Only one suggestion: for the next videos could you increase the resolution to like QHD or 4K? That would be amazing :)

Im currently doing a course about operation systems at my studys and so much of the theoretical stuff i learned make so much more sense now. its great!

Very good video! Brings back memories. Back in -96, second year in CS studies, we had a group assignment in the OS course. Write a multitasking operating system for a RISC processor. It was a bit overwhelming to say the least. Seeing it like this, with some experience gained along the way, was both educational and entertaining! [I get it that this is the boot part of the OS. Another piece of "magic" is, as far as I'm concerned, the thing that happens between power on and the entry point of the OS boot sequence. On actual hardware in particular but also in comparison with virtual hardware. The "oh, I have a docker image doing all that magic here" is to kind of skipping things. For a very good reason too. Still, for a curious mind, a logical next step (at some point) would be "ok now I have tested on a VM, how can I run this (or any smaller OS) on something real?"] Thanks for this very interesting session, which was even more giving by having the source code downloaded to watch in parallel!

A really fantastic video, not only great technical theory but also great way of teaching it, thank you for creating it 👍

answering your question regarding how useful such sort of videos are: they are useful. At least from a perspective of a guy who is curious about the subject but does not know where to start. Thank you for your work.

For all the grief I give the youtube algorithm, every now and then it puts out a gem. Thanks for making this video.

This is the first video from this channel I'm watching. It hasn't been a minute, I just subscribed to the channel by hearing the topic.

Thank you very much for this video! Im a Software-Developer for corporate applications mainly in JS/TS/PHP/Python world and i am very keen about this topic for a long time now. Its very pleasent to have someone with a good knowledge in OS-Development explain how "it" really works. I personally found it hard to find out where to even start and what the order is to get into this topic of OS-Booting, OS-Runtime and interaction between an OS and the code i am writing on a daily basis.

This is superb. Keep making such videos and complete the series please.

It's so cool to see how this works. It is making me think of projects I want to work on myself!

Very nice video. The format and pace is great

Super interesting! thanks for this very detailed deep dive video series, this is very instructive, material like this is hard to find, keep them coming :).

One of the most valuable contents on KZfaq! I am very happy to find this content! ❤🙏

Thanks so very much for creating this content. It's exactly what I have been looking for. Your presentation of the topic is informative and interesting. Love It!

This is fantastic. I will spin this up and follow along, it's such a good intro! Thank you!!

Loved the video, and am excited to watch future ones in the series!

I’d love to see more of these!

Loved these videos, these are rare content. Keep continuing the good work❤

Absolutely fantastic video! I look forward to watching more content from this channel. Thanks!

My bachelor project was implementing an OS. I made a 64-bit version of JOS originating at MIT. There were references to XV6 in there too. This is a spectacular video reminding me a lot of that work. - The structure of this OS is very similar to what I made

A really informative video! Eager to watch the following parts. Thank you

Very good video! I just took a class on operating systems in the spring, and we went through the x86 version of this project. It was a fun class. I really enjoyed building on top of the existing project

Super cool and Super detailed video. Really makes me want to deep dive into operating systems. I have this dream to work on operating systems look like i have found a good starting place. Bootstrapping has been a tricky thing to understand thanks for the insight into it

Thanks for creating these videos, I'll learn all of them. It is really hard to find practical knowledge about these concepts! 🙂❤

What an Awesome Video, Thanks for putting the time to create such great content.

Fantastic video! You did an excellent job. 👏 The content was engaging and well-presented. Keep up the great work!

Man this is awesome, thank you so much for this level of detail in the explanation

This channel is a hidden gem. Keep up the good work!

All time, All time, All stuff , All videos inside this channel are amazing 😊.

This video gave me material for at least 6 months of study. Thank you very much.

Very interesting contribution, well done 👍 Keep going 💪

This video is exactly what I need to watch. As a beginner, I don’t know where to start, the others I have watched about kernel is either about showing me a whole bunch of assembly to run specially on that processor or about a simple os that does nothing but printing just a line, or about diving deeply into what Linux kernel is doing. I am not say they are wrong, but hey “In operating system project, arguably the first thing you want to do is to get out of assembly as soon as possible”. This is gold! Please continue of what you are doing and you are doing it right!

What do I think... amazing and very intuitive explanation which is the most important aspect here, thank you.

This was a really really good video! Please keep making these.

Ooooh, looking forward to the rest of this series 👀

Nice video! I hope you keep the serie running

Amazing content. Is very clarifying. Keep doing it. 💪🏻💪🏻

Very helpful video! Thank you for making this! ❤

This video is awesome so many things explained in a simple and coherent way. Really hard to ask for everything you don't know and easy to miss one simple jet important piece if you explain it to someone.

Thank you so much! Incredible quality content! Really amazing and incredibly useful!

As an aspiring Linux Kernel Developer, I really loved this video and I'm really looking forward to the next one!

This is briliant! I'm a self-taught Software Engineer working daily with high-level Java / Kotlin web applications, and I've always felt the need to understand what's going on in the lower levels. This series is both very well explained and detailed! Keep it going!

Excellent presentation! I wish there were enough hours in a day for me to watch to all channels I'm interested in.

Extremely interesting and well done, Great Work!

absolutely fascinating stuff and brilliantly explained

This is very very nice, especially from a wholesale operating system understanding

Thank you for such awesome content, definitely keep doing them

Thanks man, this video was awesome. Really good explanation 👏🏽👏🏽

This is really, really good. Please keep making these videos.

I am a bit of a nerd that has always been fascinated with this type of low-level stuff ... despite that it difficult to convey detailed information like this, so I was expecting something a bit more dry and difficult to understand. However, I found myself really fascinated. I really liked how you opened up the topic step by step. "We are looking at xv6, xv6 is ..... this is how you get xv6 .... this is how you run xv6 ... this is what the project files look like ... this is how to find the start of the program ... " so by the time you got to the details of the topic, I felt very well grounded in where I was. So then it was a real pleasure following along, imagining myself the lowly CPU waking up to run my first instruction at 0x800000 (or whatever it was). So yes, very good video!

This is awesome, I learned so much! Please keep it up :)

Thankyou for helping me get a better understanding of the logic.🙌🏽

Too Interesting Please continue the series😊

Love this type of videos ... thanks for doing it

Just when I wanted to learn low level stuff, this channel just showed up! :)

I am a Mechanical Engineer with 30 years in (Manufacturing) Engineering Industry in Equipment Maintenance (Mechanical/Electrical/Electronics), not from computer engineering background but a computer and electronics enthusiast. I use to watch such videos and learn everyday about coding, programming etc. new latest happenings. I have used regularly the most of the OS from MSDOS 6.22, Unix, Linux, Windows, Android ... Still I curiously watched your video, and enlightened with many things I never thought about the internal functioning of OS ! Thank you for such amazing explanation videos !

real nice explanation, keep up this series!

Awesome educational material! Great teacher! Thank you Sir!

Absolutely amazing video! Thank you.
