Bare Metal BlackBox -------------------- BlackBox Component Builder ported to bare x86 PC and runs without any host os. Project goals: - Make BlackBox to be fully independent environment; - Make BlackBox easy to port to other os; - Learn BlackBox internals and possibly port it to new architectures. Building ------------------- Requirements: * GNU/Linux or any other *nix * BlackBox 1.7.1 * GNU Binutils * Wine * Qemu Firstly copy files from this repo to clean BlackBox 1.7.1 environment. (http://blackboxframework.org/stable/blackbox-1.7.1.zip) Than just sequentially execute commanders from Docu486/Build-Tool.odc. Known Issues ------------------- Currently BMBB on early alpha stage. It can boot on hardware that do not require to enable A20 Line and requires at least 16M Ram. Kernel implements everything exept coroutine supporting. Implemented only keyboard and speaker drivers (see Host subsystem). That all. Currently graphics not supported, but implemented simple textmode Shell based on StdInterpreter. You can call Init.WinterWrapUp and enjoy music on you pc speaker. :)
