1 This version of Pintos is designed for use with Bochs 2.2.6. A few
2 patches for this version of Bochs are included:
4 bochs-2.2.6-big-endian.patch
6 Makes the gdb stubs work on big-endian systems such as
7 Solaris/Sparc, by doing proper byteswapping. It should be
10 bochs-2.2.6-jitter.patch
12 Adds the `jitter' feature described in the project documentation,
13 in which timer interrupts are delivered at random intervals.
15 bochs-2.2.6-triple-fault.patch
17 Causes Bochs to break to GDB when a triple fault occurs and
18 the GDB stub is active.
20 bochs-2.2.6-ms-extensions.patch
22 Needed for Bochs to compile with GCC on some hosts. Probably
25 bochs-2.2.6-solaris-tty.patch
27 Needed for Bochs to compile in terminal support on Solaris
28 hosts. Probably harmless elsewhere.
30 bochs-2.2.6-solaris-link.patch
32 Needed on Solaris hosts. Do not apply it elsewhere.
34 To apply all the patches, cd into the Bochs directory, then type
35 patch -p1 < $PINTOSDIR/src/misc/bochs-2.2.6-big-endian.patch
36 patch -p1 < $PINTOSDIR/src/misc/bochs-2.2.6-jitter.patch
37 patch -p1 < $PINTOSDIR/src/misc/bochs-2.2.6-triple-fault.patch
38 patch -p1 < $PINTOSDIR/src/misc/bochs-2.2.6-ms-extensions.patch
39 patch -p1 < $PINTOSDIR/src/misc/bochs-2.2.6-solaris-tty.patch
40 patch -p1 < $PINTOSDIR/src/misc/bochs-2.2.6-solaris-link.patch
41 You will have to supply the proper $PINTOSDIR, of course. You can use
42 patch's --dry-run option if you want to test whether the patches would
43 apply cleanly before trying to apply them.
45 Sample commands to build and install Bochs for Pintos are supplied in
