AMD64

This page describes the current status of the AMD64 port of ReactOS. AMD64 refers to AMD's specifications for a 64-bit extension to the x86 instruction set. It is also known as x86-64 (and variants such as x86_64 and x64).

The ros-amd64-bringup branch was created on r34699 by Timo Kreuzer.

Status

• Parts of the tree build: freeldr, ntoskrnl (with warnings and only partly), bootdrivers, some apps
• A bootcd is created
• setupldr loads, switches the cpu to long mode, initializes hardware/memory/paging and jumps to ntoskrnl
• ntoskrnl dies after first initialisation work

The page AMD64 is a short article on something that should have a lot more information written on it.
If you know anything else about it, you are STRONGLY encouraged to add the information in. If you are unsure of proper formatting or style, add it to the talk page or this page itself as you think best and others will help.
