Prepare

If want to do the following exercises, PLEASE install Qemu and some other related tools in Ubuntu/Linux system.

$ sudo apt-get install qemu

If want to do the exercises of CS630 on Qemu in Ubuntu, need to execute the following command to mirror the resources in the course site to res/:

$ make update

Usage

Our project allows to:

Specify an assembly file for compiling with ./configure /path/to/file.s
Compile and run the assembly in real mode with make boot
Compile and run the assembly in protected mode with make pmboot

For example, to compile the src/helloworld.s, we can configure it with:

$ ./configure src/helloworld.s

To compile the assembly files from res/, use rtcdemo.s as an example, just type:

$ ./configure res/rtcdemo.s

Real mode exercise

helloworld

  $ ./configure src/helloworld.s
  $ make boot

rtc

  $ ./configure src/rtc.s
  $ make boot

Protected mode exercise

helloworld

  $ ./configure src/pmhello.s
  $ make pmboot

rtc

  $ ./configure src/pmrtc.s
  $ make pmboot

NOTE

In fact, some exercises not about "protected mode" also need to use the 2nd method to compile, for they begin execution with CS:IP = 1000:0002, and need a "bootloader" to load them, or their size are more than 512 bytes, can not be put in the first 512bytes of the disk (MBR).
