Writing the Spec06/01/2009
Research Phase is over. I am in the task of writing the Spec for hardware design. I am surprised that research have taken so short period of time. I think it was for two reasons: (1) I have devoted generous amount of time to it. (2) I left OS development matters for later.
In fact, my goal in this phase is to get specs for the hardware design (next phase). I finally could set the frontier between hardware support and OS job... that's helped. The hardware I'm picturing presents support for Multi-tasking and General Protection, and that's exactly what I needed for now, no more than that.
I also got the oficial name for my homebrew mini-computer: Heritage-1 (or "/1"; not sure if dash or forward slash). Heritage because... well, you know.
Research is over. Did I said that? Not quite... research never ends. I've done only the easy part. The real fun is yet to come.
