* C toolchain: run SDCC-compiled C programs as gbos processesuser9 days1-0/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | - c/{gbos.h,crt0.s,libc.s,build.sh}: SDCC sm83 -> ROM-bank blob toolchain. libc syscall wrappers save/restore BC/DE/HL around rst $30 (trap clobbers them; SDCC expects them preserved). - build via SDCC native asxxxx path (sdasgb/sdldgb), crt0 linked first so _start is the $4000 entry; blob INCBIN'd into a ROM bank. - chello.c: prints a message + getpid() -> runs as 'chello' shell command. - Makefile: auto-build c/*.bin, track as a dep of programs.o; gitignore blobs. - README: document the C toolchain + the SDCC --asm=rgbds codegen bug that forced the native-toolchain approach. - verified: '$ chello' -> 'hello from C on gbos!' / 'my pid is 2'.
* shell working: fix syscall ABI (trap clobbers HL) + documentuser9 days1-1/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | - root cause of the read/echo corruption: SyscallTrap uses HL to index the dispatch table, so HL is clobbered across a syscall; the shell then wrote its buffer pointer's garbage into the $0000-$7FFF MBC register region, corrupting the mapper. fix: userland saves HL around sys_read (push/pop). - shell now runs commands end to end: $ hello -> hello world!, $ worker -> worker!, $ foo -> ? - README: document that syscalls clobber BC/DE/HL (return in A, B for wait); add read + shell to the syscall table.
* wip: sys_read + serial console shell (read-store bug under investigation)user9 days1-13/+153
| | | | | | | | | | | | - sys_read (SYS_READ): blocking console input via external-clock serial poll; yields while waiting. Verified working (direct-echo cat: 'hi' -> 'hi'). - shell (PROG_SH): prompt/read/parse/fork+exec+wait; worker+hello programs; StrEqual/SkipName helpers; command table. - init now execs the shell. - KNOWN BUG: storing the typed char to the line buffer at $A000 (cart RAM of an exec'd program) corrupts the following sys_read; sys_write reading $A000 also returns $3E. Kernel syscalls themselves are correct; isolating the cart-RAM / exec RAM-bank interaction next.
* kernel: complete the process lifecycle (exit/wait/reap + bank free list)user9 days1-35/+19
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | - exit(): zombie + status, reparent orphans to init, wake blocked parent, schedule away forever (resources reclaimed by the reaper) - wait(): scan for a zombie child; reap (free cart-RAM bank + PCB slot) and return pid/code; block PS_BLOCKED + yield if children still live; $FF if none - cart-RAM banks are now a free list (wBankUsed bitmap): AllocRamBank/FreeRamBank - scheduler: FindNextReady returns carry when nothing runnable; yield idles instead of blindly picking slot 0 - helpers: FindPcbByPid, ReparentToInit - demo: init forks 3 workers -> exec -> exit(pid) -> wait/reap => wwwR2R3R4! verified bank recycling with 6 workers over 3 banks (w2w3w4w5w6w7) - README: document the lifecycle + syscall status
* kernel: implement exec()user9 days1-0/+52
- sys_exec(B=program id): look up ProgramTable, point PROC_ROMB at the program's ROM text bank, map it into $4000-$7FFF, reset stack, jp to entry (no return) - programs.asm: two demo programs (ping/pong) ORG'd at the SAME $4000 in banks 2 and 3 - proves execution is driven purely by PROC_ROMB - demo: init forks; parent execs PROG_PING (bank2, '1'), child execs PROG_PONG (bank3, '2') -> '1212...', 2000/2000 balanced, zero garbage - README: document exec + text-in-ROM model
