Minimal OS
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
This shows some of the stuff that any guest OS will have to set up.
|
|
|
|
This includes:
|
|
|
|
* installing a virtual exception table
|
|
* handling virtual exceptions
|
|
* handling asynchronous events
|
|
* enabling/disabling async events
|
|
* parsing start_info struct at start-of-day
|
|
* registering virtual interrupt handlers (for timer interrupts)
|
|
* a simple page and memory allocator
|
|
* minimal libc support
|
|
* minimal Copy-on-Write support
|
|
* network, block, framebuffer support
|
|
* transparent access to FileSystem exports (see tools/fs-back)
|
|
|
|
- to build it just type make.
|
|
|
|
- to build it with TCP/IP support, download LWIP 1.3.2 source code and type
|
|
|
|
make LWIPDIR=/path/to/lwip/source
|
|
|
|
- to build it with much better libc support, see the stubdom/ directory
|
|
|
|
- to start it do the following in domain0
|
|
# xl create -c domain_config
|
|
|
|
This starts the kernel and prints out a bunch of stuff and then once every
|
|
second the system time.
|
|
|
|
If you have setup a disk in the config file (e.g.
|
|
disk = [ 'file:/tmp/foo,hda,r' ] ), it will loop reading it. If that disk is
|
|
writable (e.g. disk = [ 'file:/tmp/foo,hda,w' ] ), it will write data patterns
|
|
and re-read them.
|
|
|
|
If you have setup a network in the config file (e.g. vif = [''] ), it will
|
|
print incoming packets.
|
|
|
|
If you have setup a VFB in the config file (e.g. vfb = ['type=sdl'] ), it will
|
|
show a mouse with which you can draw color squares.
|
|
|
|
If you have compiled it with TCP/IP support, it will run a daytime server on
|
|
TCP port 13.
