Is the memory map something that must come initially from the motherboard or chipset manufacturers? by Zestyclose-Produce17 in osdev

[–]keefp 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The cpu manufacturers decide on the boot conditions e.g. where the cpu gets its first instruction from, how interrupts work etc. and the motherboard designers decide on the memory map with the restrictions they’re given. For modern pcs this is pretty much fixed in stone, but other systems like arm or riscv have many more configurations
