I have just released SoS version 0.1.1. It's very basic, but I would greatly appreciate it if you could test it out:

Here's a screenshot (click for better quality):


It has about 10 commands that you can try out, although most of them just print a couple of lines of text. It has a memory allocator, support for IRQs, Exception handling, PIT support, etc.

Currently all commands must be typed in lower case, but I'll fix that for the next version. Also, when I tried it in Bochs, the splash screen only appeared for less than a second. It appears for 3 seconds on a real PC.

Thanks,

Doesn't anybody want to try it out?

No.






Ok, to be honest, I for one lack the time busy as I am with gaining my life and studying. Others may be as busy. #

Be patient. It doesn't hurt.

hi,

I tried it out. It booted up normally and all commands work as expected. Or is there anything special to look for?

I just wanted to know if it didn't work for anyone, so I can fix any problems at this early stage...

Thanks,

worked fine for me.

Have tested it in qemu 0.8.0 and in vmware-server.

qemu: boots up pretty fine, but doesn't react on keystrokes. Maybe you should revise your keyboard stuff?

vmware-server: boots up fine and keystrokes are reacted on. I have tried out the commands. They work. Do you expect any other culprits to show up?

you could consider implementing kinda history in your shell so one can revoke one previously entered command.

Stay safe

Thanks BI. I wanted to do the history thing a while ago, but never got around to it. I'll implement that now. That will be on the up key.

I'll also try it in QEMU and see if it doesn't respond to the keystrokes...

Thanks again,

-Stephen
