You don't ned to if you do it all in asm, but there are those who write parts of their OS in C/C++, and they need the jLoc util to fix the obect files (I'm not fully clear on how or why, but iirc it has something to to with where sections end up in the output).
My (dead) toy OS is in pure asm, asm compiled to plain binary (I just love that feature of fasm), no object file - thus no need for any linker/locator. So to quickly answer you question: No you don't need any linker if you write you OS in asm. I think jLoc's page has some nice description of how to use it (I think I've seen it mentioned at Bonafide's site) _________________ ... a professor saying: "use this proprietary software to learn computer science" is the same as English professor handing you a copy of Shakespeare and saying: "use this book to learn Shakespeare without opening the book itself. - Bradley Kuhn |

it seems still unclear to understand it.
MenuetOS use linker? what feature fasm can't, but linker can? -- i want C/C++/C#'s speciality in fasm, that's why fasm is not overkill. regards |

At second, IMHO link process is not needed nor usefull for assembly programming at all  But this is not common opinion.  |
