Unix V6 Source Code

Question

I am looking for the source code for the Unix V6 kernel. Please tell me where I get it from.

I have a pdf copy downloaded from http://v6.cuzuco.com/v6.pdf . What is described in "Commentary on Unix Source-J. Lions".

Thanks.

Answer 1

This is an open course from MIT ( http://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2012 ).

From this site you can get the xv6 source code and a lot of useful materials, including a detailed document, such as "Commentary on Unix Source-J. Lions", to help you understand the xv6 code.

In my opinion, xv6 is better than unix v6 because xv6 is written in the assembly language ANSI C and AT & T, but unix v6 is designed to work on a PDP machine.

I also learn the OS myself, and I am looking for the source code of xv6 and linux0.11.

I hope these words help you. ^ _ ^

Currently, you do not need to manually start the bootloader, but to use the uefi firmware (available for free download), this firmware has the necessary functions that can be called up on demand to load into RAM from the hard drive ... The partition is also controlled. It is written in c / C ++ ... I learned how to try to make my own. I came across this. This is a good point to start with a modern UEFI enabled motherboard.
