Red Bear OS

Fixes autoboot countdown blocking forever because the default trait impl calls blocking get_key(). Uses non-destructive key check (INT 16h AH=01h) with EDX sentinel to detect key availability without EFLAGS access, and INT 15h AH=86h for 10ms polling intervals.
Bootloader
Redox OS Bootloader
Requirements
These software needs to be available on the PATH at build time:
Building
make TARGET=<triplet> BUILD=build all
The <triplet> is one of:
| ARCH | Boot Mode | Triplets |
|---|---|---|
i686 |
BIOS | x86-unknown-none |
x86_64 |
BIOS | x86-unknown-none |
x86_64 |
UEFI | x86_64-unknown-uefi |
aarch64 |
UEFI | aarch64-unknown-uefi |
riscv64gc |
UEFI | riscv64gc-unknown-uefi |
See mk directory for more information of how the build is working.
Entry points
Please read Boot Process in the Redox OS Book for an introductory guide.
In this source code, some interesting files for entry points are:
- BIOS boot stages: asm/x86-unknown-none/bootloader.asm
- BIOS boot entry:
