How hard is it to code a basic OS? I basically just want to build something that will boot, doesn't have to do anything else.

Where do I begin?

Easy, perhaps a weekend. Easiest way to start your project is to look over the boot code in Linux, 9Front, L4 etc.

I did some OS stuff for DSP56300 some years ago. Easy.

Pretty damn hard. Take a look at OS161.

>How hard is it to code a basic OS?
Me and my project partner managed to do it in 4 months despite only having minimal knowledge in C and assembly

>I basically just want to build something that will boot, doesn't have to do anything else.
A boot loader that sets up protected mode, loads an image and jumps to it can be done in less than 600 lines of assembly code

A bootloader is not an OS
