For everyone asking how to run wyoos in Bochs, here is the solution.

First, you will have to install bochs and bochs-x. On every Debian-based Linux:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install bochs bochs-x

On Windows, download it on https://sourceforge.net/projects/bochs/files/bochs/2.6.8/

Bochs needs a configuration file. Here is my file:

Code: Select all

megs: 32
romimage: file=/usr/share/bochs/BIOS-bochs-latest
vgaromimage: file=VGABIOS-elpin-2.40
vga_update_interval: 40000
mouse: enabled=0, toggle=f12

ata0: enabled=1, ioaddr1=0x1f0, ioaddr2=0x3f0, irq=14
ata1: enabled=1, ioaddr1=0x170, ioaddr2=0x370, irq=15

# CD-ROM image
ata0-slave:  type=cdrom, path="/home/richard/wyoos1/mykernel.iso", status=inserted
boot: cdrom

log: bochsout.txt
mouse: enabled=0
clock: sync=realtime
cpu: ips=1000000000

You will also need a VGAROM image, it is available to download at https://github.com/larsr/bochs/blob/master/bios/VGABIOS-elpin-2.40, just put it in the project folder. Lastly, to run Bochs, you need to execute

Code: Select all

sudo bochs -qf bochsrc.txt

When the Bochs window loaded, press c to continue the emulation. A logfile will be created in your project directory.
