Hi Volker,

 

Do you know the answer?

 

My knowledge is very limited here and the only thing I could say is that
Bochs BIOS is not fixed binary and could be modified.

But might be there are also simpler solutions …

 

Thanks,

Stanislav

Subject: Booting Bochs

 

Hello Stanislav,

 

my name is Diego García. I have written several time ago asking about Bochs.

 

We're working at University with Bochs, and we want to change the way we are
booting, that's why I'm writing to you with some doubts:

 

Our goal should boot and run our nano-kernel from bios file (I mean, have
the sources of bios and include ours code in the same binary), but I guess
the bios is a non-editable binary file. 

The second option could be to put my code in one of the four
optional-rom-images, but I can't find a way to redirect code execution from
bios post to this area.

Bochsrc file talks about this files could be initalized by bios if they
contain a final 0x55AA signature, but I don't realize what you mean with
"initialize".

 

Is there any option or idea you could give me to place code in rom memory,
avoiding use of virtual magnetic medias (we want to emulate an embedded
system)

 

Thanks a lot in advance!

 

Regards,

Diego García
