+# MetalOS Kernel - Quick Reference
+
+## Kernel Modules Implemented
+
+### Core System
+- **GDT (gdt.c/h)**: Global Descriptor Table setup for x86_64
+- **IDT (interrupts.c/h)**: Interrupt Descriptor Table with 32 exception handlers and IRQ support
+- **Memory (memory.c/h)**: Physical memory manager and kernel heap allocator
+- **PCI (pci.c/h)**: PCI bus enumeration and device configuration
+- **Timer (timer.c/h)**: Programmable Interval Timer (PIT) with 1ms tick resolution
+
+## Building the Kernel
+
+### Quick Build
+```bash
+# With Ninja (fastest)
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake -G Ninja ..
+ninja kernel
+
+# With Make
+mkdir build && cd build
+cmake ..
+make kernel
+```
+
+### With Conan
+```bash
+conan install . --build=missing
+conan build .
+```
+
+## Kernel API Reference
+
+### Memory Management
+
+```c
+// Physical memory
+void pmm_init(BootInfo* boot_info);
+void* pmm_alloc_page(void);
+void pmm_free_page(void* page);
+
+// Kernel heap
+void heap_init(void* start, size_t size);
+void* kmalloc(size_t size);
+void* kcalloc(size_t num, size_t size);
+void kfree(void* ptr);  // Not implemented in bump allocator
+
+// Utilities
+void* memset(void* dest, int val, size_t count);
+void* memcpy(void* dest, const void* src, size_t count);
+int memcmp(const void* s1, const void* s2, size_t count);
+```
+
+### PCI Bus
+
+```c
+void pci_init(void);
+uint32_t pci_read_config(uint8_t bus, uint8_t device, uint8_t function, uint8_t offset);
+void pci_write_config(uint8_t bus, uint8_t device, uint8_t function, uint8_t offset, uint32_t value);
+pci_device_t* pci_find_device(uint16_t vendor_id, uint16_t device_id);
+void pci_enable_bus_mastering(pci_device_t* dev);
+```
+
+### Timer
+
+```c
+void timer_init(uint32_t frequency);  // Initialize with frequency in Hz
+uint64_t timer_get_ticks(void);       // Get current tick count
+void timer_wait(uint32_t ticks);      // Wait for specified ticks
+```
+
+### Interrupts
+
+```c
+void gdt_init(void);  // Initialize GDT
+void idt_init(void);  // Initialize IDT and enable interrupts
+void interrupt_handler(registers_t* regs);  // Generic handler
+```
+
+## Kernel Initialization Sequence
+
+```c
+void kernel_main(BootInfo* boot_info) {
+    gdt_init();          // 1. Setup GDT
+    idt_init();          // 2. Setup IDT and enable interrupts
+    pmm_init(boot_info); // 3. Initialize physical memory
+    heap_init(...);      // 4. Initialize kernel heap
+    timer_init(1000);    // 5. Setup timer (1000Hz = 1ms per tick)
+    pci_init();          // 6. Scan PCI bus
+    // ... continue with GPU and input setup
+}
+```
+
+## Memory Layout
+
+```
+0x0000000000000000 - 0x0000000000000FFF : NULL guard page
+0x0000000000001000 - 0x00000000000FFFFF : Bootloader (temporary)
+0x0000000000100000 - 0x0000000000FFFFFF : Kernel code/data
+0x0000000001000000 - 0x00000000FFFFFFFF : Physical memory pool
+```
+
+## PCI Device Finding Example
+
+```c
+// Find AMD RX 6600 GPU
+// Vendor: 0x1002 (AMD)
+// Device: Check AMD documentation for exact device ID
+pci_device_t* gpu = pci_find_device(0x1002, device_id);
+if (gpu) {
+    pci_enable_bus_mastering(gpu);
+    // Access BAR0 for MMIO
+    uint64_t mmio_base = gpu->bar[0] & ~0xF;
+    // ... initialize GPU
+}
+```
+
+## Interrupt Handling
+
+### Exception Handlers (ISR 0-31)
+- ISR 0: Divide by zero
+- ISR 6: Invalid opcode  
+- ISR 13: General protection fault
+- ISR 14: Page fault
+- ... (see interrupts.c for full list)
+
+### IRQ Handlers (ISR 32-47)
+- IRQ 0 (ISR 32): Timer interrupt
+- IRQ 1 (ISR 33): Keyboard interrupt
+- ... (add more as needed)
+
+## Adding New Kernel Modules
+
+1. Create header in `kernel/include/kernel/yourmodule.h`
+2. Create implementation in `kernel/src/yourmodule.c`
+3. Add to `kernel/CMakeLists.txt`:
+   ```cmake
+   set(KERNEL_C_SOURCES
+       ...
+       src/yourmodule.c
+   )
+   ```
+4. Include in `kernel/src/main.c` and call init function
+5. Rebuild: `ninja kernel` or `make kernel`
+
+## Constants
+
+```c
+#define PAGE_SIZE 4096           // 4KB pages
+#define TIMER_FREQUENCY 1000     // 1ms per tick
+#define PCI_CONFIG_ADDRESS 0xCF8
+#define PCI_CONFIG_DATA 0xCFC
+```
+
+## Notes
+
+- **No Console Module**: As requested, no console.c/h files are created
+- **Minimal Design**: Only essential features for QT6 Hello World
+- **Bump Allocator**: Current heap doesn't support freeing (upgrade later if needed)
+- **Physical Memory**: Simple bitmap allocator (32768 pages max in current impl)
+- **PCI Scan**: Scans all 256 buses, 32 devices per bus
+- **Timer**: Uses PIT in rate generator mode
+
+## Testing
+
+```bash
+# Build and check symbols
+cd build
+ninja kernel
+nm kernel/metalos.bin | grep -E "(init|handler)"
+
+# Expected output shows all init functions
+```
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- [ ] Implement proper heap allocator with free support
+- [ ] Parse UEFI memory map properly in pmm_init
+- [ ] Add keyboard interrupt handler
+- [ ] Add GPU driver initialization
+- [ ] Set up page tables for virtual memory
+- [ ] Add input device drivers
