Overview System novelties
Some observations on the
Programming for MythOS
This section presents some of the chapters
from the project MythOS programming guide:)
- File System
- System interactions with block
devices
- System Interrupt
- System Functions
-----------------------------------------
Each interrupt processing program
interrupt performs these actions: - compute the new coordinates
of the cursor according to the location of the mouse (or press
cursor keys) and entered into the system variables. - Pressing
the Clavey mouse (as well as relevant Clavey on your keyboard)
noted in the system variable. - Of system variable sets the
color curb. - Looks at the table of interrupt handlers,
korektiruetsya counts interrupts. Performed handlers. Handler
can be configured to the desired frequency of executions,
specifying the number of interrupts to be missed
before executing the handler. Handler
can be set using the procedure 70,
that the output will give the number of the handler. To remove
the handler by its number You must use 71.
-----------------------------------------
Interaction system
block devices
(Zero DOS)
Interactions with block devices
through system drivers
that will use not only standard CDs at 720 KB. but also the
RAM-disk, and even the hard drive. The size of each block is
strictly is fixed at 256 bytes, but
sector size is determined by the driver and can be anything.
Appeal to any block device
going through the entry point 10, before
call should be placed in the register "A" code
character of the physical disk to which
being accessed and the register "B" Room need driver functions.
Physical disk are denoted by the symbol A.. Z
Table block device drivers located in the page (BlkDrvP) at
(BlkDrvA). Under each of the 26 possible
Block Device (A to Z) in table
reserved 4 bytes. The first byte indicates whether the driver
is installed, this device (0 = not set), the remaining 3
byte is the address of the driver.
Appeal to the block device is as follows:
LD B, 5; number of driver functions
LD A, "A"; the name of the block device
; In the remaining registers can be transmitted
parameters for the driver
CALL CallDos
DB 10; Call Manager Block Device
Block device driver must perform the following mandatory
functions:
# 01 - Initializing a block device.
# 05 - Read to the bottom of the memory blocks
device.
In: C = number of blocks (1 .. 64);
DE = number of first block;
HL = address of the boot;
# 06 - Record of blocks from the bottom of memory.
In: C = number of blocks (1 .. 64);
DE = number of first block on the disk;
HL = address of data in low memory;
-----------------------------------------
File System
(The first level DOS)
Interaction with the block device
through file system driver, which in turn uses
block device drivers. For each logical device can set a
file system driver that allows you to work with both TR-DOS,
and with ISDOS, MS-DOS disks. Logical unit can be attributed to
any individual or logical block device. Treatment
to the file system is through the point
entry 9 with the preliminary placement of a "B"
Rooms required function, and in "A" name
logical drive (A.. Z), which
being accessed. In all other
Registers the driver may be transferred
parameters.
Table file system driver is located just behind the driver
table block devices, ie offset 26 * 4
bytes. In this table for each logical
device is given by 8 bytes. In the first
byte is the character code unit, with
this is associated logical device
and if this byte is equal to zero, then this
logical device is free and can be
associate with any other device
zanesya in the first byte of the character code unit, three
bytes - address of the driver file system. And if the character
"A" .. "Z" then linked with physical device, and
If "a" .. "z", then the logical device. The next three bytes -
this is the address buffer of the current path for the logical
device. The last byte in the table until reserved. Thus, this
table will take 26 * 8 bytes. If the logical drive
associated with another logical drive, the system picks the
current path of the disc to the top string passed as a parameter
file system driver, and calls to
another logical disk with the same parameters.
Block device drivers and file
the system can connect from the library
However, to avoid removing them from memory
to counter the use of libraries to install one more.
Appeal to the device file is as follows:
LD B, 1; room driver functions
LD A, "A"; logical device name, the remaining registers can be
transmitted to the settings for the driver
CALL CallDos
DB 9; call manager device file.
File system driver must perform the following functions:
# 00 - create the address (CHL) list of file descriptors in the
current directory.
Sign of the end of the list serves as a byte # 00 in
the first byte of the file name. Created by this
feature list has the following format:
+0 [Nb] - file name
+ N [1b] - the "."
+ N +1 [3b] - file extension
+ N +4 [1b] - # 00 + N +5 [1b] - file attribute
+ N +6 [4b] - the length of the file in bytes
To avoid a buffer overflow is desirable to provide sufficient
space for file list. If, for any function
required to specify the name / path, then it must be placed in
the buffer driver file system, in the form of ASCIIZ-string.
Between registers of letters made the difference. instead of
"\" character is permissible to use "/".
# 01 - File Download up to 64 blocks in length
upper memory area. In
In: the name of the buffer.
DE = Offset from the beginning of the file in blocks.
HY = number of load blocks, if
= 0, then loaded the entire file (but not more than 64
block).
LY, IX = address in upper memory, on which
need to download the file.
Out: "Z" = File not found. "NZ" = Ok.
# 02 - Give information about the file.
In: the name of the buffer.
Out: A = the file attributes (for a regular file
= 0);
BCDE = length of the file in bytes;
IXHL = number of the first block of the file on disk;
"Z" = File not found; "NZ" = Ok;
# 03 - driver initialization.
# 04 - Reserve space for file
disk
In: IImya file extension in the buffer
BC, DE = length of the file in bytes
Out:
A = 0 Ok
A = 1 The file already exists
A = 2 disk is
A = 3 127 files on disk
# 05 - Write to file up to 64 units of upper memory
In: The name and file extension in the buffer
DE = offset from the beginning of the file in blocks
HY = number of recordable units, if = 0,
is taken from the catalog.
LY, IX = Address of data to be written.
Out:
NZ = all recorded.
Z = File not found. (Before writing to
to reserve a place in the file! By default, the file is
overwritten.)
# 06 - Rename File
In: buffer the old file name
(CHL) = pointer to ASCIIZ string, a new
filename
# 07 - Delete the file.
IN: name and file extension in a buffer

Architecture and construction principles MythOS
- General principles of
- Memory Allocation
- Outline applications
- Libraries
-----------------------------------------
Type of system - psevdomnogozadachnaya (cooperative
multitasking), with a monolithic kernel is extended by
connecting external object libraries and procedures.
For communication between applications using
mechanism of events and common areas of memory.
Planned to implement a preemptive multitasking, planning for
the predictable amount of CPU time on a single task.
-----------------------------------------
Available system memory is divided into segments of 256 bytes
and in this form distributed by an application.
Total permitted up to 254 applications, so
as an element of distribution table is
dimension of 1 byte, code # FF is reserved for system
processes, code # 00 indicates a free block. When you run each
application is allocated a unique number in the table memory.
If you want to use the data in more than one application, it is
desirable to query the system for a single block identifier and
use it as a random failure a single application all of the
allocated memory block, marked with its code will be released,
which could lead to interesting effects.
To date, the kernel memory map looks like this:
# 6000 - # 8500 Lower part of the nucleus. Provides memory
management and some system programs.
# C000, Page # 04 Manager kernel functions,
GUI objects.
# C000, Page # 06 What does not fit into page # 04:)
-----------------------------------------
Each application MythOS may use the top one-page table memory
continuous part of their code. If you need more memory for the
code - it should be allocated to the library and load Library
Manager, and the library can be split among all active
system applications.
All code and all application data is stored in upper memory,
which imposes some restrictions on the program, and slightly
inconvenient to use:) Attachment should be compiled only by
address # C000, and therefore the system with 128K memory
be able to run three applications - the number of free pages.
From lack of, damages caused to the fixation location in the
memory, free libraries - they
configured to address allocation at startup. To use the
mechanism of libraries, the application must be compiled into
executable file format console and properly take into account
the rules of uploading and release libraries, in order to avoid
linings.
The principle of building applications - you
open a window, declaring objects
interface and the corresponding procedures
handling of user interaction -
everything else the system is doing.
-----------------------------------------
Library MythOS are
fully autonomous system components,
who may share between multiple applications. If an application
requests access to the library or it is loaded with
disk or the counter of its use, if the library is already in
memory. After the liberation of the library counter decreases
and if it becomes zero - the library is removed from memory.
Note: For console applications, which also use the tuner
libraries, you must remember that after working the function
call # 02 Library Manager console removes the library, so if
your console application opens any window or reserve for
themselves system resources, you must release them or to exit
the # 02 program, or forced to leave the library memory by
re-opening itself.
Feature of libraries - they
always loaded into memory for the identifier of the block # FF
(system) so you must always call the release of the library at
the end of the program, otherwise the memory will stay busy.
Another nuance - when using the library
GUI system open windows
close to the corresponding x 70 mm
0.6 kg. Scope of supply: BP, ilozheniyah,
as will inevitably arise glitches memory allocation.
