>>61408340
whats wrong with you?

I kind of want to dick around with this. Two questions.
1) Can I easily set up a VM and access its filesystem from the host? I want to be able to save a file in my normal text editor and have tOS see it straight away. Anything less sounds like hassle.
2) How compatible is HolyC with regular C? If I were to take a portable C codebase such as Lua or SQLite, how long would it take to get it building as HolyC? Hours, days, months?

>>61408477
>Can I easily set up a VM and access its filesystem from the host?
You've got a couple of options:

You could keep the TempleOS install as FAT32, and use Terry's scripts to mount/unmount the virtual disk depending on your hypervisor:
https://templeos.sheikhs.space/Wb/Home/Sup1/Sup1Bin/

or, you could use HGBD, and transfer files between host and guest:
https://github.com/tramplersheikhs/hgbd

or, you could use the PCNet PCI II driver and TCP/IP stack from Shrine, set up a local webserver on your host machine and get the files via HTTP:
https://github.com/minexew/Shrine/tree/master/HwSupp
https://github.com/minexew/Shrine/tree/master/SnailNet
>How compatible is HolyC with regular C?
a general overview is here, most code in TempleOS is pretty much self-documenting so it's easy to pick up:
https://templeos.sheikhs.space/Wb/Doc/HolyC.html

Let me know if you have any other questions and I'll try my best to help you out

>>61408477
i don't think you can do either of those easily.

1. TempleOS supports FAT32 iirc, but i never tried actual file transfers myself. If you use something like a raw image for the VM, and if TempleOS decides to format it as FAT32, then using a loopback device to mount the image wouldn't be hard.

2. HolyC, according to Terry, is a non-standard C/C++ dialect, hence not compatible, so good luck porting the codebase.

I know this guy lurks /g/. I would love to know his opinion which hardware to use for maximum compatibility. Sadly, Terry is stuck in the year 2005 and everything he supports is old legacy shit. Does anyone want to help me to port this shit to UEFI with proper SATA support? We could literally use TempleOS as our preboot environment. That would be pretty cool. Also we would get networking support for free. Since the UEFI preboot environment is also identity mapped, this shouldn't be too hard. All we need to do is to write a VGA emulator for UEFI GOP or UGA.

How difficult would it be to add a network stack and drivers to TempleOS?

>>61412808
>but I'm curious about what your thoughts are.
UEFI has huge potential to be the ultimate /g/ autism box. The boot time services allow you to load and unload kernel images as if they we're applications. It's a literal meta os. The only issue is that the OS bootloader is supposed to call ExitBootServices, which frees all the memory of those neat firmware functions. If we could trick the firmware into preserving the boot-time services as if they were run-time services, we could unload the linux kernel, go back to the EFI shell and then load a completely different kernel like Windows, all without ever rebooting. UEFI is basically a modern high level version of DOS, but designed by committee to debug shitty preboot drivers. But we can make it our own. It even supports TCP out of the box. Without a fucking kernel, a full TCP stack. How cool is that? The big hurdle when it comes to porting TempleOS is that it relies on VGA graphics based on int10h. Setting the video mode this way only works in 16 bit real mode. However, a UEFI system starts in 64 long protected mode with identity mapping and you can't interact with the hardware with interrupts anymore and instead everything relies on UEFI firmware function calls. In order to get TOS running we need to emulate the VGA videomode in UEFI. UEFI provides a simple 2D accelerated graphics api called GOP (Graphics Output Protocol) that supports stuff like blitting. Sadly, there is very little documentation outside of the specification PDF. I don't know if GOP could give us framebuffer access for instance. I also don't know if it is even possible to talk to the PC speaker in UEFI mode. I should also add that I don't know shit about OS development and that I'm just a third year CS student who spend way too much time on the OSDev wiki and reading UEFI specs over the last 6 months or so. All my knowledge is purely theoretical.

>>61413001
I would rather keep a BIOS setup than have a UEFI system potentially compromised with TCP access.

>>61413046
But I don't want to enable fucking CSM. I want to be able to boot into TempleOS from my main computer without changing any firmware settings and without using antiquated BIOS emulation. Also I'm pretty sure that TCP isn't enabled by default. Every UEFI protocol needs to be manually probed and activated by a EFI application. Imagine how cool it would be if you turned on your PC and it would boot straight into Temple OS, from where you could just type Arch; or Windows; and it would boot into the OS you want. Now also imagine returning to Temple OS from Linux or Windows with a single function call. This is possible if we port Temple OS to UEFI and manage to hack our firmware to preserve the boot services even after ExitBootServices has been called. Hooking these UEFI calls is pretty easy, too. You just assign a function pointer. Thank god for the CIA and wikileaks:

>>61413385
Well you could probably still talk to the device directly over PCI, but every device needs to be handled differently, you can't force graphics cards to pretend that they are DOS compatible VGA cards forever. That's where the UEFI driver comes in. UEFI is basically a micro kernel that allows for OS independent drivers. The implementation is crap, but the idea is nice.

What's wrong with this? Do you think interrupts are some sort of low level magic? All you are doing is using a primitive API to change the state of the GPU to support some primitive 2D graphics protocol. Why is using function calls instead of interrupts such a big deal?

>>61413412
>UEFI is basically a micro kernel that allows for OS independent drivers.
And it's completely useless because you'd usually call ExitBootServices before handing control over to the kernel, which makes it inaccessible.
And what's even worse, is that because it's UEFI, and not BIOS, then when I do hand control over to the kernel, I won't have any graphics AT ALL, because there's no VBE or anything to interact with from vm86 mode.

Graphics for hobby OS developers are just completely hopeless.
If you're writing a 64bit OS, you can just say goodbye to graphics whether you're BIOS or UEFI, because there's no fucking vm86 mode.
Shit fucking sucks, the big corporations really need to give us hobbyists some love by providing a simple and standard (that vendors actually implement. Looking at you, VBE3) interface accessible from protected/long mode.

The only thing we can do is set the video mode in the bootloader, which is way too restrictive in my opinion.

>>61413558
>And it's completely useless because you'd usually call ExitBootServices before handing control over to the kernel, which makes it inaccessible.
Which is why I want to hook it and trick the OS intro preserving the boot services along side the runtime ones.

>And what's even worse, is that because it's UEFI, and not BIOS, then when I do hand control over to the kernel, I won't have any graphics AT ALL, because there's no VBE or anything to interact with from vm86 mode.
If I understood a microsoft powerpoint about the windows UEFI boot process correctly, it should be possible to write to the framebuffer after ExitBootServices without having an actual GPU driver.

>The only thing we can do is set the video mode in the bootloader, which is way too restrictive in my opinion.
If we hack the firmware and manage to castrate ExitBootServices there is no fucking difference between the OS and its boot-loader anymore. UEFI is less restrictive then the fucking BIOS, because it gives you an identity mapped 64 bit environment for free without you having to set up paging and shit.

>Shit fucking sucks, the big corporations really need to give us hobbyists some love by providing a simple and standard
Could easily be solved by the vendors supplying a Vulkan driver for UEFI for their graphics cards. Are there any open source Linux drivers for contemporary Nvidia or AMD cards? We could just port those over to the UEFI driver model and then we could have 3d accelerated graphics in bare metal.

>>61413558
>then when I do hand control over to the kernel, I won't have any graphics AT ALL, because there's no VBE or anything to interact with from vm86 mode.
Just don't call ExitBootServices.

Haha, you really fucking think any vendor would actually do that?
They can't even provide VBE3 support, which is way simpler than Vulkan.
There is no way in fucking hell that will ever happen.

Even so, you still can't change the graphics mode.

>>61413770
As far as I understand ExitBootServices does literally nothing except killing the boot-time services and signaling all connected device drivers to stop listening to UEFI calls. I think the point is to isolate the operating system from the firmware so it can't just go around loading other kernels and shit, because that would be a straight rootkit pass-through. So basically: Everything prior to ExitBootServices is the new real mode and everything after is the new protected mode. Except that "real mode" can do anything" protected mode can do too.

>>61413796
What even are I/O ports? The pins on the CPU? Is there some sort of memory mapping involved, giving us a direct pointer into the GPU? The problem here is that if we boot in UEFI mode, then firmware of the GPU will set up compatibility with UEFI GOP instead of the old BIOS VGA. The VGA registers you write to don't exist on modern hardware anymore. The GPU firmware is just pretending and it doesn't pretend if the firmware of the PC isn't also pretending to be a BIOS. At least that's what I think. I'm not a firmware developer.

>>61413770
>Even so, you still can't change the graphics mode.
You can. Just don't call ExitBootServices.

>>61413770
>Haha, you really fucking think any vendor would actually do that?

>>61413872

>>61413901

>If you want your OS to have full control of your hardware and firmware you need to say goodbye to security
That makes no fucking sense, nigger.

Ok question time...temple os actually does seem interesting and seems to have some unique features...and his programming language holy c also seems very unique.

So the question is why is nobody else touching this stuff? Is it actually terrible software or is it being avoided only for its creators personality?

Is that software worth 2 shits?

>>61413930
It does. You need to firmware to get access to certain low level functions. If you kick out the firmware from the system with ExitBootServices you can make sure that no one can abuse the firmware as a backdoor, but you also lock yourself out of the firmware. If you want to access firmware functions from the OS you just need to deal with the fact that the firmware is still there in the background. Also you can't even get rid of the firmware, because the runtime services are in the background anyways. Doesn't matter if you call ExitBootServices or not. The security risk is inherent to UEFI, which is why secure boot was a thing, but all you people did in response was autistic screeching.

>>61413982
it might be amusing and interesting to the likes of /g/ but it doesn't offer anything of commercial or end user value.

Could the inner working of temple os be used as the basis for a better system?

Why has nobody made a fork yet?

>>61413982
>So the question is why is nobody else touching this stuff? Is it actually terrible software or is it being avoided only for its creators personality?
Because it requires you to gimp your PC into emulating outdated protocols for your fucking hard drives in order to function. Also there is not a big target audience for something like a x86 C64 in the first place.

>Is that software worth 2 shits?
The idea is absolutely next level genius. The implementation is a bit questionable. It would have been great in the 90s or 2000s or so, but the world of hardware has moved on, making the entire thing a bit backwards. Terry can't even boot this thing natively on his machine.

If Terry wasn't a schizoid living on autism bucks, he never would have had the time to write temple os. He worked on that thing for 13 years for fucks sake.

>it doesn't pretend if the firmware of the PC isn't also pretending to be a BIOS
Hmm, I think I might look into this, I thought this was something that was set up by the controller, irrespective of BIOS/UEFI, it would present on the bus as 0x03 subclass 0x01?

>>61414358
Like I said. I'm just a dumb 22 year old CS student who spend some time on the OS Dev wiki. I have zero actual DOS or UEFI development experience.

> it would present on the bus as 0x03 subclass 0x01?
No idea what that even means.

>>61414358
From the OS Dev Forums:

>>For giggles, immediately after ExitBootServices(), I manually attempted to initialize VGA using code lifted directly from coreboot. After this, a write to 0xb8000 again produced no output.
>Please note that a lot of effort is involved in maintaining backward compatibility with VGA; including special support in video cards but also including special support in chipsets and the PCI bus. The single greatest advantage of UEFI is that all this extra support (baggage) for backward compatibility with obsolete hardware can be discarded in hardware, firmware and software. For example, to handle "VGA" properly you need any/all PCI to PCI bridges in the path from CPU to video card to be configured to forward legacy/ISA IO port and memory accesses to the video card; and the video card itself needs to be in a special "VGA emulation mode". If UEFI is used, then the chipset (e.g. PCI to PCI bridges) can be configured by firmware properly (without the unnecessary legacy stuff) and the video card itself can be used properly (without the obsolete legacy stuff).

Attempting to initialise the video card using "VGA code" when it isn't in its special "VGA emulation mode", and when the chipset is not setup for it, is almost guaranteed to fail. You'd actually need a special device driver designed for the video card just to take it out of its native mode and put it back into its special "VGA emulation mode" (in addition to code to reconfigure the chipset, PCI bridges, etc).

Of course once the industry has fully adopted UEFI, hardware manufacturers can stop bothering with the obsolete legacy stuff. For example; eventually we will start to see video cards that don't have any special "VGA emulation mode", and chipsets and PCI bridges that don't support legacy IO forwarding. The end result will be cleaner and cheaper hardware; as less time and money will be wasted on obsolete legacy baggage (especially for things like regression testing).

>>61414611
Does UEFI provide a flat frame buffer that can still be written into and displayed on the screen after ExitBootServices is called?
If not, then fuck the industry, I'm not upgrading.

That's also what I would like to know. I would assume so, but their documentation sucks and I'm too lazy to read the official PDF. These slides from Microsoft seem to suggest that this is possible.

>>61414611
Hmm, so from UEFI, maybe we can query the GOP framebuffer details, and just patch GrUpdateVGAGraphics accordingly.

//To access framebuffer, you'll have to get it's address. This code returns it in rbx, and buffer's size in rcx:
mov rax, qword [gopinterface]
mov rax, qword [rax + EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL.Mode]
mov rbx, qword [rax + EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL_MODE.FrameBufferBase]
mov rcx, qword [rax + EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL_MODE.FrameBufferSize]

>>61414747
>>61414677
>>61414757
Bingo!
http://wiki.phoenix.com/wiki/index.php/EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL_MODE

typedef struct {
UINT32 MaxMode;
UINT32 Mode;
EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_MODE_INFORMATION *Info;
UINTN SizeOfInfo;
EFI_PHYSICAL_ADDRESS FrameBufferBase;
UINTN FrameBufferSize;
} EFI_GRAPHICS_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL_MODE;

FrameBufferBase: Base address of graphics linear frame buffer. Info contains information required to allow software to draw directly to the frame buffer without using Blt(). Offset zero in FrameBufferBase represents the upper left pixel of the display.

>>61414791
That was what I was getting at, yes. But I didn't know if there was a way to directly write into the frame buffer, because the Phonix wiki sucks major horse cock. But it looks like there is. Perfect.

>>61414791
Also there are hobby grade NTFS drivers for UEFI, this would allow us to write and read from NTFS partitions with Temple OS.

These could also come in handy when it comes to setting up GOP.

Awesome! I set up a OVMF testbed w/ QEMU, hopefully I'll have some time to mess around this week w/ a simple boot loader, something like

gBS->CopyMem(EntryPoint, FileData, FileSize);
goto *EntryPoint;

>>61415044
Did you mess around with Terry's HD audio drivers? It would be pretty neat if we could use the audio jack and the line in as true analog GPIO pins. Sadly UEFI has no sound protocol. It has accelerated 2D graphics. It even has TCP. But no fucking sound.

>>61415044
Good luck. Also, if you're that Sheikhs guy: I really dig your demo

>>61414031
TempleOS can be booted natively, Terry has a separate pre-built computer for that specific purpose

>>61418210
>pre-built

eww

>>61418209
after watching this video i was like "muh guuuns"
cianiggers/10

>>61418209
thank god im using amd

Since we're already in 64 bit mode and identity mapped, I think (maybe wrong) a first approach could be to build a minimal kernel, strip out 16/32 bit code, store GOP framebuffer address in a register variable (r15?) load 0000Kernel.BIN.C at 0x7c00, call ExitBootServices, and jmp to kernel at 0x7c00 with patched RawPutChar.
>>61415116
I tried with VirtualBox but couldn't get the driver working, maybe I will give it a try on real hardware. Sound should work fine via the PIT. My TempleOS PC has a parallel port, I wrote a simple "gamecon" style routine for a SFC controller and it works great.
>>61415140
Thanks! It's outdated, I need to update the graphics routines for newer versions of TempleOS, the old bootable ISO I made still works though.
>>61415799
Right! Sorry, I was tired.

>>61413346
TERRY A CUTE

>>61419387
>I think (maybe wrong) a first approach could be to build a minimal kernel, strip out 16/32 bit code
I don't know how to set up paging, but that part would have to be stripped too I would assume, considering the firmware does the identity mapping for us. Also don't forget that GOP likely doesn't support 4 bit color but 24 bit true color only. That needs to be taken into consideration as well.

>ExitBootServices
Don't exit the boot services if you can avoid it. I want to use TempleOS as my bootloader. I want to modify HolyC to be able to call firmware functions as a replacement for EFI shell or at least be able to return to the EFI shell without resetting the system. We just need somehow to make sure that TempleOS stays away from the firmware memory region when it loads programs. Also don't forget that UEFI wants the OS bootloader to preserve the run-time services. I have no idea what is going to happen if we let TempleOS just overwrite them. It would be important to know if UEFI somehow protects the firmware memory prior to ExitBootServices.

http://wiki.phoenix.com/wiki/index.php/EFI_BOOT_SERVICES#ExitBootServices.28.29
http://wiki.phoenix.com/wiki/index.php/EFI_RUNTIME_SERVICES#SetVirtualAddressMap.28.29
http://wiki.phoenix.com/wiki/index.php/EFI_BOOT_SERVICES#AllocatePages.28.29

>This call changes the addresses of the runtime components of the EFI firmware to the new virtual addresses supplied in the VirtualMap. The supplied VirtualMap must provide a new virtual address for every entry in the memory map at ExitBootServices() that is marked as being needed for runtime usage. All of the virtual address fields in the VirtualMap must be aligned on 4 KB boundaries.

>inb4 we manage to brick our motherboards

>>61419795
a wild guess is we could maybe jump to SYS_RAM_REBOOT_END, skip all the 16/32 bit, page table and PCI BIOS setup. For testing, a patched RawPutChar could just bit-bang 24 bit values to the GOP frame buffer from TempleOS' 4 bit vga planes.
I'll give it a try without exiting boot services, can probably patch BlkPoolsInit to avoid overwriting memory regions set up by the firmware

>>61420328
Thanks. You're doing gods work. I really hope we can turn TempleOS into a real community project that people actually can use before Terry goes completely nuts, since his conditions seems to be getting worse. You're probably the only sane person with a deep insight into the OS, so please don't get run over by a car. If I manage to find some spare time, I'm going to try to optimize Terry's matrix code with some SSE and AVX to take some load of the CPU, if he isn't already doing so, but my gut tells me that he did everything in sequence instead.

>>61412173
>besides the codersnotes article (http://www.codersnotes.com/notes/a-constructive-look-at-templeos/) i havent seen templeos explored in depth

Is it wrong to want to make a HolyC compiler for Linux/Windows and expand it into a language a little more useful to keep Terry's good aspects of his legacy alive as he sinks further into madness?

>>61420750
HolyC is nothing without DolDoc. You would need to port that too. In fact, port the resource editors too. TempleOS is HolyC and HolyC is TempleOS.
