|
|
|
|
Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator
|
|
written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the
|
|
Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Bochs can be compiled to emulate
|
|
many different x86 CPUs, from early 386 to the most recent x86-64 Intel and AMD processors
|
|
which may even not reached the market yet. <BR>
|
|
Bochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation including Linux, DOS or
|
|
Microsoft Windows. Bochs was originally written by Kevin Lawton and is currently maintained by
|
|
this project.<BR>
|
|
Bochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are
|
|
still in development. The 'typical' use of bochs is to provide complete x86 PC emulation,
|
|
including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory. This allows you to run OS's and
|
|
software within the emulator on your workstation, much like you have a machine inside of a
|
|
machine. For instance, let's say your workstation is a Unix/X11 workstation, but you want to run
|
|
Win'95 applications. Bochs will allow you to run Win 95 and associated software on your Unix/X11
|
|
workstation, displaying a window on your workstation, simulating a monitor on a PC.

The Bochs community held an IRC open discussion chat on Sunday, February 1, 2004.
|
|
We talked about current and future developments (<a href="irc-20040201.html">Transcript</a>). Here are some transcripts of earlier conversations:

<i>We currently need help with the following tasks:</i>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="http://bochs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/topper.pl?name=Bugs+Waiting+to+be+Fixed&url=http://sourceforge.net/tracker/qmrkgroup_ideq12580ampatideq112580">
|
|
Bug Reports</a>:
|
|
Mouse, interrupt controller,
|
|
timer, IDE controller, network card, keyboard, VGA... Most of our bug
|
|
reports and feature requests are due to incomplete C++ models of the
|
|
various PC devices. To improve this, we need PC Hardware Gurus who know
|
|
where to find the specs for this stuff and improve the hardware models for
|
|
Bochs. Working on models is a fun way to learn how things work, and unlike
|
|
designing a real hard disk, you can test out your changes on a real operating
|
|
system immediately!
|
|
<li><a href="http://bochs.sourceforge.net/diskimages.html">Disk Images</a>: Our collection of disk images is getting out of date. It would be great to have small or large images of a variety of free operating systems.
|
|
<li>Documentation: Adding installation help and other useful information into the docs.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
To help with one of these tasks, please contact <a href="http://sourceforge.net/sendmessage.php?touser=376477">Volker Ruppert</a>
|
|
or <a href="http://sourceforge.net/sendmessage.php?touser=487634">Stanislav Shwartsman</a>.
