Hi, Been awhile, this may be simplified in the future but don't expect much changes to the process. Legacy BIOS: - mbr (if applicable) loads bootsect - bootsect loads nboot (contains nstart+nboot.exe) - nstart enters protected mode, relocates & runs nboot.exe - nboot stores the boot device number globally - firmware mm services initialized UEFI: - nboot stores the boot device number globally - firmware mm services basically just call UEFI here Firmware independent entry point: - int3 command loop if ndbg detected - device tree created - reads nboot.lst on the Boot Device - main loop if ..read more

I actually prefer using fed from dos.... It has alot of syntax highlighting features as well as a bookmark feature where you can set a bookmark and jump back to it. Statistics: Posted by H4XLABZ — Fri May 10, 2024 7:43 pm ..read more

Today, I gave up and installed emacs. With a larger project to do, I got tired of non-customizable, non-programmable text editors. I got emacs because I know emacs lisp and [far too much about] emacs customization. I love being able to just script whatever I want.

And just to be clear - it doesn't do that by emulation of some sort - it runs executables at full native ARM32 speed. The major switch to win32arm has been experiencing technical difficulties, which has delayed it - but they may have been resolved. The technical difficulties have been overcome. However, there will be a delay as I see how far I can push this now that it is working (with -O0). -rw-r--r-- 1 kerravon kerravon 4120064 May 10 12:17 gcc-new.exe [kerravon@paul-pinebook gcc]$ cmp gccprm.e ..read more
