Help Long Mode at 0x100000

[orange]

I create my own boot loader and setting up 64 bit long mode environment and load my 64 bit kernel into 0x7E00 and move up to 0x100000 and then jump to 0x100000 to execute it.

but something crazy happen. some of code doesn't works correctly

mov rax,'T E S T '
mov [0xB8000],rax

That code dosn't works. i just get blank screen!!!

can u tell me why this happens???

and how to resolve my problem??


Thanks

did you set the right mode before?

[orange]

did you set the right mode before?

Yes has set environment to long mode, and it works correctly but when i load to disk to boot, i get problem when jump to 0x100000

before i get an error when jump to 0x100000 becouse i map paging just 1Mb, then i increase to 8 mb and jump successfull to 0x100000.

but some of code doesn't works correctly. i try to access memory video

mov rax,'T E S T '
mov [0xB8000],rax

that code dosn't works

First are you using a emulator ?, does it work before moving address ?.
As i have seen people have problems with qemu and this code.

Also have you implemented A20 ?.

Yes i m using emulator.. vmware. and boot with real machine i still get same problem.

Before activating long mode... In 32 Protected mode session i try jump to 0x100000 ... well that is good, i can see text on my screen.

Then when i activate long mode i still can see text on my screen

But when i move up my code to 0x100000, i can't see text any more.

no exception, no error mesage just blank!!!

yes i have implemented A20, without it i can't jump to 0x100000

i'm very sure successfuly jump to 0x100000 an execute any code on it. i just confuse when i can access video memory.


Thanks

Have you tryed the same code for paging in pmode ?
Have you tryed jumping to 0x100000 and then back to see if you come back OK.
Or get some beep code (let me know if you need it ) convert it to 64bit and see if it beeps.

Yes...

No... and i will try... thnk's

Or get some beep code (let me know if you need it ) convert it to 64bit and see if it beeps.

Ok i will try to use beep code.. please can u give me your beep code...

But when i add Halt instruction "HLT", wmware give me a emessage "CPU halted" that is make me sure i m on 0x100000, and suscced execute my kernel

Code: Select all

   mov   rax,'T E S T '
   mov   [0xB8000],rax

   hlt

Text still not on screen, but hlt work

that is more make me confuse

[Craze Frog]

What happens if you try this?

Code: Select all

mov rax, ' T S E T'

[Dex]

Here the beep code

MS                      dw      20

But if the HLT works, it all points to some problem with mapping the 1 for 1 address of paging.

Also if you have a floppy drive you can put the motor on/off (light on and off) .
With this code

Code: Select all

 ;----------------------------------------------------;
 ; Fdd motor off                                      ;

        mov   dx,0x3F2                                 
        mov   al,0
        out   dx,al
        ret

 ;----------------------------------------------------;
 ; Fdd Motor On                                       ;
 ;----------------------------------------------------;

FddMotorOn:
        mov   dx,0x3F2                                
        mov   al,00011100b                             
        out   dx,al
        ret

Thank's for your help guys:)))

i have resolve my problem... i found BUG in my assembler. The RAX register doesn't point to 0xB8000 so that i can't see text on screen.

after i change with other assembler, then i see text on screen.

and thank's four your beeb dex, i use your code for samething else...


i don't know why my first assembler generate mistake code.

[Combuster]

i found BUG in my assembler.

I bet there isn't. Compiler bugs are rare, and assemblers which are an magnitude more simple, the chance one exists is very unlikely to the point where it neglegible.

If its indeed a bug, tell us how to reproduce it.

When you say bug in the assembler, which was fixed when you changed it, do you mean you changed assember to say fasm to nasm, or do you mean you change from one ver to another of the same assembler ? .

If you changed to a differant assembler, could you name it, as it would help others, as i have seen this problem posted before.
Thanks.

PS: If you do not want to name it in public, you can PM me the name.

ok sorry long time i can't online coz i verry bussy...

first i use FASM to compile my OS.. then i use YASM and til now My OS run correctly.

now i get One problem... since 64bit doesn't support hardware multitasking.

Can u give me reference how to build software mutlitasking...

thank's
