Hi,
I am eager to understand the basics of Memory models (flat, segmented etc) , CPU modes (real,protected) and address translation (physical to logical etc.) and how all of them work together. I am very confused about this and would really appreciate if someone could provide good references to these topics.
You may find useful information inside i366 Programmers Manual. Anyhow, reading materials is the first step in understanding these concepts. You will have to actually read/write/debug pieces of code related to them. thanks, Daniel. [1] pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/2010/readings/i386.pdf
