CMPE 411 - OS Design and Implementation

Institution:

Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Computer Engineering

Description:

This course explores the design and implementation of operating systems. Topics include designing interfaces between hardware and applications systems, creating layers of abstractions to extend lower-level services, bringing a CPU from POST to regular operation, development of device drivers and other services within the kernel, context switching, interrupt handling, building character and block drivers, deferred operations, memory mapping and DMA arbitration. By the end of the course, students will have written a primitive operating system, understand the device abstraction layer and how to integrate a device into it, and built device drivers for Linux and Windows. This class is not available for graduate credit.
