Daniel Verkamp: COMBOOT Support
Journal
Week 2
02 June 2008
- Message to soc-mentors discussing implementation details; learned how to get available memory, test if key is hit, call protected-mode code with flat-memory setup, etc.
- Finish COMBOOT API “Get Version” - return address of version and copyright strings 4f02100d29583bd9586e4a832eb910f9192d304b
- Fill in correct value for available memory field in PSP header c07e41f20e6ef9b89e290733d5c06a8fcadfb0e1

- Initial try at COM32 support; helper functions are not implemented yet, so nothing really works 6d18cc20c85e7a1a195705d1da6bd67c0917138f
- Wrappers for COM32 helper functions to switch between flat mapping used by COM32 and the virtual address space used by gPXE (COM32 still mainly untested) d5e92f83c8fba51e0a2c803b9204bae7d86c9cd8
- Some small fixes to COMBOOT (always load the image in the same place, and use that fact to locate the PSP even if the image changes segment registers) 245547103ed490bfc380d94ea7f7634a6e46f11a
TODO:
- Find correct end of available memory value for ESP before executing COM32 images
- Finish helper functions (copy between registers and com32sys_t structs)
04 June 2008
- Find end of memory value from walking memmap and pass it to COM32 programs 164672592936bb3026b4ada3113b3e66f0e6f51c
05 June 2008
- Fix a lot of small things related to COM32; now
hello.c32
andhello2.c32
run correctly!

- Only the intcall helper is implemented; the farcall and cfarcall helper functions are still unimplemented, but should be relatively easy now that intcall is working
