Experiment System For The Principle Of Operating System, Based On Linux

As a part of basic computer principles, the theory of Operating System(OS) is somewhat a hard course, due to the kernel is close to the hardware and far form user. A set of experimentations, which lead students study the principle by interacting with kernel, may greatly help them put theory into practice. Actually the paper is introducing such experimentations, together with its ways of designing, its methods of implementation and its user manual.Linux, whose kernel code has been published, is chosen as the object for the system. Thus there will not be any copyright problems when developing. After analyzing and grasping the classical theory of OS, the author comprehended the way of implementation linux kernel. Then these bellowing experimentations were designed: the structure of OS, the module programming, the interface of OS, the device management, the process management and the file management. Amount these parts, the structure of OS and the interface of OS are generated originally and they are considered to be more efficient in study principle of OS. On designing the system, technology of high level language programming, assemble language programming, kernel clipping, kernel compiling, kernel modifying and system programming are used.By processing the serial of experimentation, the operator can not only comprehend the principle of OS, but also he can get a basic ability of high level language programming, kernel programming, driver developing and embedded system developing.
