* 7439 - start translating Mu programs to baremetalKartik Agaram2020-12-2810-19/+19

* 7437 - baremetal: draw pixel on keyboard eventKartik Agaram2020-12-282-7/+68
| | | | | It's now clear that our keyboard handler doesn't trigger after the first event.
* 7436Kartik Agaram2020-12-272-22/+22
| | | | Start highlighting lines that may need to be recomputed when offsets change.
* 7435 - baremetal: buffer for keyboard eventsKartik Agaram2020-12-271-20/+49
| | | | | | | | | I'm trying to read the status register, but I'm still not seeing the breakpoint being hit a second time. (And I again ran into the Bochs bug that breakpoints at the first instruction of an interrupt handler don't work.) Maybe this is just a debugger issue. Let's keep going, and try to start using the keyboard events.

| | | | Fix a stale displacement.
* 7433 - some major layout changesKartik Agaram2020-12-272-55/+51
| | | | | | I'd missed that VBE call 0x4f01 (get video mode) can write up to 256 bytes. Unexpected areas were getting clobbered because I wasn't reserving enough space.
* 7432Kartik Agaram2020-12-271-5/+5
| | | | | Bugfix: 32-bit code in 16-bit mode. Seems like it was benign, maybe.
* 7431Kartik Agaram2020-12-271-1/+1
| | | | Typo.

* 7425 - baremetal: render the paletteKartik Agaram2020-12-271-6/+5
| | | | | It's now very obvious that we don't actually have 256 unique colors by default in 256-color graphics modes.
* 7424 - baremetal: downsize graphics resolutionKartik Agaram2020-12-274-6/+7
| | | | | | | | If it's large enough that I have doubts whether my top-of-the-line Mac is showing the bottom of the screen inside an emulator, it's too large. This way I also feel more confident that most modern hardware will support this graphics mode, and that these programs will work for others.

* 7421 - baremetal: beginnings of keyboard mapKartik Agaram2020-12-261-16/+37
| | | | First keypress is detected, but we need to ack it somehow.

* 7418 - baremetal: adjust entrypoint addressKartik Agaram2020-12-264-8/+151
| | | | | | | | | | | We need a few pages of data for the keyboard mappings. If I moved them to some later address I'd be able to keep the nice round starting address unchanged. But that seems like a superficial aesthetic concern. There's really no value in having an array of hex bytes represented in SubX rather than just raw hex. And it's better to colocate data near the handler code which uses it (and which runs instructions SubX doesn't support).

* 7416 - baremetal: drawing on frame bufferKartik Agaram2020-12-261-6/+17
| | | | | This currently works on Qemu, but not on Bochs. I'm now trying to make sense of https://wiki.osdev.org/Bochs_VBE_Extensions#Using_a_linear_frame_buffer_.28LFB.29
* 7415 - baremetal: locate the linear frame bufferKartik Agaram2020-12-261-6/+55
| | | | | 0xa0000 only contains a single bank's worth of memory-mapped video RAM. The LFB is supposed to have everything.

* 7412 - drawing pixels to screenKartik Agaram2020-12-264-3/+32
| | | | | This works, but colors are unexpected. 0xff isn't white. Lots of colors are black. Perhaps I need to initialize a palette.

* 7404 - baremetal: first example programKartik Agaram2020-12-263-0/+378
| | | | | | | | | | Design choice: all programs will use a graphics mode (1280x1024) with 256 colors. That should be fairly widely available. (It turns out text modes larger than 80x25 are not widely available even among modern emulators. Mu will need fonts sooner rather than later.) Mu will never try to be smart and do things like autodetect your hardware. We _will_ help you modify Mu for your hardware.

| | | | | https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37618111/keyboard-irq-within-an-x86-kernel is right, no need to mess with the status port at the start.
* 7394Kartik Agaram2020-12-231-1/+1
| | | | | | I think https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37618111/keyboard-irq-within-an-x86-kernel has more insight to provide. Among other things the comment about grub may answer the distinction between entry 0x21 and entry 9.
* 7393Kartik Agaram2020-12-232-9/+49
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Snapshot. Keyboard interrupt being triggered. This was hard to debug until https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37618111/keyboard-irq-within-an-x86-kernel reminded me that I'd forgotten to enable IRQ1 on port 0x21. For a while I was confused by never hitting a breakpoint at the start of the keyboard handler. Then I found https://sourceforge.net/p/bochs/discussion/39592/thread/5e397455 and started skipping one instruction in my breakpoint. I still don't understand the discrepancy between some people installing the handler at entry 9, and others installing at entry 0x21 = 33.

* 7391Kartik Agaram2020-12-231-62/+9
| | | | | | | | Turns out we just need a null handler at offset 8 rather than offset 9. If the keyboard handler is indeed at offset 9 as https://alex.dzyoba.com/blog/os-interrupts says (I don't understand why), then the clock handler's at offset 8, which makes sense.
* 7390 - null interrupt tablesKartik Agaram2020-12-231-11/+69
| | | | | Looks like the reset loops stop if we create null handlers for the first 10 indexes in the IDT.
