Design and Implementation of Eagle OS: A 64-bit Educational Operating System Kernel

  • Unique Paper ID: 193454
  • Volume: 12
  • Issue: 10
  • PageNo: 502-505
  • Abstract:
  • This paper presents the design and implementation of Eagle OS, a custom-built 64-bit operating system kernel devel- oped from scratch using a freestanding environment on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The project explores low-level system programming concepts including Multiboot compliance, stack initialization, Global Descriptor Table (GDT) configuration, paging structures, and transition from 32-bit protected mode to 64-bit long mode. The kernel is executed using QEMU virtualization. The objective is to provide a practical understanding of processor architecture and operating system internals.
