"Design and implementation of a AmigaOS subsystem for the Mach microkernel" (internal thesis at the University of Applied Sciences Wiesbaden).

Brief description:

• Design and implementation of the AmigaOS multitasking-, memory-management- and interprocess communication-subsystems on top of the Mach microkernel.
• Design and implementation of a IDL compiler backend for generating C source code of AmigaOS System-Object-Model classes. So called Basic Object Oriented Programming for Amiga (BOOPA).
• Design and implementation of memory and IPC BOOPA classes.
• Porting the AmigaOS disk operating interfaces of the open-source AmigaOS Research Project (AROS)
• Creating a test suite for checking the compatibility to the original AmigaOS API.
