* 7489 - include GNU UnifontKartik Agaram2021-01-091-4/+247
| | | | | | | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Unifont#The_.hex_font_format http://unifoundry.com/unifont/index.html Since GNU Unifont is covered under the GPL v2, so I believe is this repo.

* 7480 - baremetal/ex3.hex now draws multiple pixelsKartik Agaram2021-01-071-6/+13
| | | | | | | | | | I was wrong in commit 7437 that only one keystroke was working. The problem was just that I was getting _too_ many events. I wasn't handling key-up events, and they were entering the buffer, and I was not skipping null events since the circular buffer is currently considered to be null-terminated. ex3 isn't done yet; it can only handle 16 events. Apps need to be clearing the keyboard buffer.

* 7437 - baremetal: draw pixel on keyboard eventKartik Agaram2020-12-281-7/+11
| | | | | It's now clear that our keyboard handler doesn't trigger after the first event.
* 7436Kartik Agaram2020-12-271-19/+19
| | | | 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 Agaram2020-12-271-54/+50
| | | | | | 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.

* 7424 - baremetal: downsize graphics resolutionKartik Agaram2020-12-271-2/+2
| | | | | | | | 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 Agaram2020-12-261-4/+147
| | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* 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.

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.
