instead of stuffing all of the i/o stuff into the "kio" library, i've
decided to rework i/o to be a generic handler that takes in a function
pointer for putc, and does the rest of the logic onto that pointer.
That way, you can pass any function that can take in characters and move
them to buffers.
I'll do a writeup on this at some point to document it.
Many code changes, many undocumented. Documentation and cleanup is next.
Fixed a lot of bugs related to IDT structure. Changed the IDT paradigm
to be dynamically written isntead of statically to account for nobits on
that section.
Also added a gdb remote debugger automatic script, for simplicity in
debugging.
tasks, so I'm doing some housekeeping.
gdt structure and related pointers go to gdt.structure.
multiboot magic numbers go into multiboot.s.
main code routine goes to start.s for bootstrapping C.
- Changed primary assembler to NASM. Specifically so I could use -
- Swapped start.s to intel syntax. I find it prettier. Learned a lot
doing it tbh.
- Changed the name of the multiboot structures in C.
comments for study
Also made a makefile that can build and run the thing. Current run
method is directly from QEMU - but the makefile will later make an image
with a given bootloader.
