How to implement terminal scrolling
Posted: Mon Feb 24, 2020 7:08 pm
Hey, I'm completely new to operating system development. I'm currently following the bare bones and meaty skeleton tutorial and am having trouble implementing terminal scrolling. This is the contents of my tty.c:
Could someone explain to me why the terminal_scroll() and terminal_update() functions are not functioning. Sorry in advance if the error is obvious
Code: Select all
#include <stdbool.h>
#include <stddef.h>
#include <stdint.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <kernel/tty.h>
#include "vga.h"
static const size_t VGA_WIDTH = 80;
static const size_t VGA_HEIGHT = 25;
static uint16_t* const VGA_MEMORY = (uint16_t*) 0xB8000;
static size_t terminal_row;
static size_t terminal_column;
static uint8_t terminal_color;
static uint16_t* terminal_buffer;
void terminal_initialize(void) {
terminal_row = 0;
terminal_column = 0;
terminal_color = vga_entry_color(VGA_COLOR_GREEN, VGA_COLOR_BLACK);
terminal_buffer = VGA_MEMORY;
for (size_t y = 0; y < VGA_HEIGHT; y++) {
for (size_t x = 0; x < VGA_WIDTH; x++) {
const size_t index = y * VGA_WIDTH + x;
terminal_buffer[index] = vga_entry(' ', terminal_color);
}
}
}
void terminal_setcolor(uint8_t color) {
terminal_color = color;
}
void terminal_putentryat(unsigned char c, uint8_t color, size_t x, size_t y) {
const size_t index = y * VGA_WIDTH + x;
terminal_buffer[index] = vga_entry(c, color);
}
void terminal_scroll(void) {
for(size_t y = 0; y < VGA_HEIGHT; y++) {
for (size_t x = 0; x < VGA_WIDTH; x++) {
terminal_buffer[y * VGA_WIDTH + x] = terminal_buffer[(y + 1) * VGA_WIDTH + x];
}
}
}
void terminal_update(void) {
memmove(VGA_MEMORY, terminal_buffer);
}
void terminal_putchar(char c) {
unsigned char uc = c;
if (c == '\n') {
terminal_row++;
terminal_column = 0;
}
else {
terminal_putentryat(uc, terminal_color, terminal_column, terminal_row);
if (++terminal_column == VGA_WIDTH) {
terminal_column = 0;
if (++terminal_row == VGA_HEIGHT) {
terminal_scroll();
terminal_update();
}
}
}
}
void terminal_write(const char* data, size_t size) {
for (size_t i = 0; i < size; i++)
terminal_putchar(data[i]);
}
void terminal_writestring(const char* data) {
terminal_write(data, strlen(data));
}
