There are several students here (Uni of W. Australia ) intending to
port Minix to the Archimedes. Actually, we only want it running on an Acorn
Risc Machine. However, most of the tools for the ARM seem to run on the
Archimedes only. We are trying to talk Acorn's Australian agents into lending
us a 440 and tools for a while. We have 1 homebuilt ARM here with a small
assembler and almost complete Modula 2 compiler. This will be used as the
vehicle for a modula 2 based operating system in the near future.
We are now waiting for the chip set to arrive so we can build a second
machine to run Minix on. If we get a free 440 we'll use that. If not we'll
need to get a decent, cheap ARM C compiler. We may have to hack Small C,
seeings how the Springboard C compiler costs around $500.
If anyone out there could give us any advice, portable compilers, $$ or any
thing else, it would be much appreciated. An archimedes Minix could only
benefit Acorn (if anyone's listening there), because Arthur is a dog.

Subject: arithmetic on enums & int square root
Christoph,
My vote would be to allow arithmetic on enums. This is consistent with
the rest of C, which provides the power to do what you want, rather than
trying to protect you from your own mistakes. This also appears to match the
intent of the language... K&R says that enums may be declared giving a
starting value to the series of integers to be used as the enum values. I
can't think of any use for this feature unless enums can be used in the same
places that integers can.
In any case, thank you for making the c68 compiler available; may I contribute
a small integer square root routine... I tried to send it to dale@syntel.uucp,
for inclusion in the dLibs library, but received no response. (I suspect that
my mail path was wrong).

It shows how a relocatable program contained in a .EXE file can be made to run on other Intel microprocessor targets. For example if a program was written in Assembler and assembled on the PC, I can extract binary code for the program, load it into native memory, perform relocation and make it run on my Intel 80186 target system. If you want to run other EXE programs that were written in high level languages then you have to worry about the run-time support code that is included with the resulting program. For example, I also run EXE programs that were produced by a Modula-2 system but then I had to modify the run-time support for the Modula-2 implementation to suit my target hardware instead. Hence, given this information, if you want to run DOS EXE programs under MINIX, write a program in C that performs what my assembler routines does. It's a good start. You do not get anything for free always. Good Luck. Ken. Email: pillay.kda@uk.ac.exeter (via EARN)

I wrote a loader for MS-DOS .EXE files for 80x8/6 systems (PCs) which I
subsequently used on a target 80186 system. You have to find out what
format the relocatable binary code produced by the compiler/linker is stored
as. In my case, it was the standard MS-DOS .EXE file structure. See my
article 'Relocating Loader for MS-DOS .EXE executable files' in
Microprocessors and Microsystems Vol 14, No 7, Sept 1990, pp 427-434.
To have such a loader under Minix, you have to find out what the
ACK compiler produces as relocatable code. The rest is pretty straight
forward as all you do is extract the relocatable binary from the file,
perform relocation (i.e. fix up the relocating items within the program)
and then jump to the entry point of the fixed-up program.
Good Loading.
Ken.

This, I think, misses the point. I think that Andrew would still like Minix to load at 0x600 and not necessarily to relocate it. Relocation is trivial (to a certain degree) by suitably aligning the load point and reloading the segment registers (because Minix only uses the `small' model). What he wishes is to be able to load an arbitrarily large kernel image (eg larger than 640k). The current problem is that the loader (bootblok.s) moves itelf to some high address and begins loading Minix at 0x600. If your kernel image is large enough, the loader will quite happily plaster itself with bits from the kernel. bootblok.s can maximise the size of the allowable kernel image by doing as shoelace already does --- moving itself to the last 64k below 640k (assuming you have more than 640k machine as most do these days). This limits the size of kernels to about 586k. What Andrew wishes is for the loader to switch to 32 bit mode to allow loading of large kernel images. In 32 bit mode, memory above 1Mb can be accessed. This means that large kernel images can be loaded. The need for this can be reduced somewhat by dynamically allocating many of the large buffers required by the kernel (so that the load image is small, even though the runtime image is large). Bruce has already done this. It does require a patch to stop shoelace from allocating space. If you read the kernel code, I think that you will find that the kernel expects to be located at the bottom of physical memory. Loading it elsewhere may just cause more headaches for mm (more holes to fill). So if one decides to leave the kernel low, and the size of the kernel image exceeds 584k, what does one do about the 384k hole between 640k and 1Mb? There's not much one can do, I suppose. The loader would have to load the first 584k of the kernel below the 640k boundary and the rest of the kernel above 1Mb. But this causes a problem because things like the BIOS interface and the video drivers expect their stuff to live in the 640k-1Mb region. Because of this, it is difficult to map things into this region. Moving, for example, the BIOS out of this region is probably too difficult. Perhaps the easiest thing to do would be to load the kernel starting at 1Mb, leaving memory below 1Mb unused. With Bruce's 386 implementation, memory below 640kb can be easily mapped high -- other implementations may have a hole to fill. Now, the problem is --- how do you start Minix? Loading above 1Mb is possible with minimal effort, even using the current shoelace code. However, the loader would have to switch to protected mode to execute code above 1Mb. This is possible with a little trickery I presume. Hmmm... sounds interesting... I might do this in the new year... now if someone would like to donate some memory so that I have something to load into above 1Mb :-) Earl -- Earl Chew, Dept of Computer Science, Monash University, Australia 3168 EMAIL: cechew@bruce.cs.monash.edu.au PHONE: 03 5655447 FAX: 03 5655146 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
