+GRU Devlog 27 - orion, binutils, E +
+ +Previous week I was working on orion. Implemented serial support and page frame allocator. +Also added some functions for serial for better debug output (warnings, todos, errors and other) +Page frame allocator and deallocator will be needed when making memory manager. I am going to +do that next week.
+ +This week I started making binutils and E (from EGG). I am starting to write objdump. It +already can disassemble some instructions, but for now it is very limited. Also yesterday +I found why framebuffer wasn’t working and now E (maybe it will be “display server”) +can write line on screen, but for some reason not more then one line.
+ +I also had a lot of new ideas this week, but maybe they are just ideas. Compiled x86_64 +gcc cross compiler, so maybe will be working on support of this arch soon. Also orion’s +makefile is cleaner, so it maybe will be easier to port. I thought about making framebuffer +support using GRUB, but first I need to implement memory manager I think.
+ +I feel like I forgot something that I was working on, but maybe they are things that are +not relaleted to GRU (but could be useful in future, for example for testing)
+ +Hope you liked this post! If you would like to help us, contact me via email, xmpp or irc :)
