\item \textbf{FAT File System Driver:} Implemented FAT driver that unifies FAT12, FAT16, and FAT32 logic, abstracting I/O operations to support both block devices and in-memory ramdisks.
\item \textbf{System Call Interface:} Architected the user space transition mechanism, utilizing a compile-time type-deducing dispatch table to automatically map CPU registers to C++ function arguments, ensuring ABI compliance.

This chapter presents the implementation details of the low-level components of the AlkOS operating system. It covers the bootloader, memory management, interrupt handling, and timing infrastructure that form the foundation upon which all higher-level kernel subsystems are built.

\section{Bootloader}
\label{sec:bootloader_implementation}

Before the architecture-agnostic kernel can commence execution, the underlying hardware must be brought to a known, deterministic state. As discussed in Section \ref{subsec:theory_bootloader}, the initialization protocols differ significantly depending on the specific hardware architecture and the firmware interface.
