BestLoader

[pine oracle]

worst bootloader ever made in history of mankind: BestLoader!
it is written in only x86_64 assembly (GNU assembler). project won't support BIOS

[feral moss]

first after author

[steady stag]

underated bootloader

[pine oracle]

plan is to quickly create simple wrappers around EFI_SIMPLE_TEXT_OUTPUT_PROTOCOL (puts(), printf() ....), it will make development and debugging easier, after that i think i will start working on kernel loader, .efi format will be first becouse UEFI services support it natively, after that i will tackle .elf

thank you everyone :d <333

[steady stag]

haha i stared it first >:)

[feral moss]

haha i commented it first >:)

[feral moss]

btw i still have your BestOS

[pine oracle]

i am very creative with project names

...

😂

[feral moss]

yes

[steady stag]

we are BestFans

[feral moss]

old appeared

[pine oracle]

yessss

[feral moss]

nikoloz

can you star my frostixos repo pls

i need 1 star and

i will have 5 total

[steady stag]

stars are cool

[feral moss]

yes⭐

[steady stag]

ill star yours if you stars mine

[feral moss]

oke

[pine oracle]

done ❤️

[steady stag]

where your repo

[feral moss]

yayy

Kross1de/frostixos

[steady stag]

stared

[feral moss]

link ur

ty

[feral moss]

done

[pine oracle]

i am gonna try this once i boot in linux (i have dualboot)

[steady stag]

cool ty

[steady stag]

oh ok lol

[feral moss]

nc

[pine oracle]

for some reason i love cloning and running every hobby os i see on github :))

[feral moss]

too lol

[steady stag]

its like opening a gift lol

[feral moss]

but it's sad when the creator has a different distro and you can't run it

[steady stag]

bro, it would be so cool if we can use this bootloader on our OSes in the future

[pine oracle]

I am planning to support multiboot2, whatever linux uses and my costum boot protocol so if any of this works for you, you can use it 🙂

[steady stag]

no no i mean

[sinful geyser]

Truel a bootloader

[steady stag]

develop a OS using your bootloader

would be amazing

please tell me when it fully boots

[pine oracle]

Of course

I Will try to post updates here

[steady stag]

ok im already following

[rancid kite]

and OnlyFans?

[steady stag]

🫃

[misty wharf]

support limine protocol

[steady stag]

yo @feral moss

im strugling building your OS

you are linking -lgcc but also -ffreestanding

[misty wharf]

that's allowed

you need a crosscompiler

[steady stag]

ik, i have i686, but the makefile seems to use normal gcc

[feral moss]

yea

what problems?

[pine oracle]

whats the output?

i build it without problem

[feral moss]

i too

[steady stag]

a sec

@feral moss @pine oracle

[feral moss]

sudo apt install -y gcc-multilib

@steady stag

[steady stag]

oh i booted it

i like the debugging messages

you may clear the screen after them

[feral moss]

yea i planning do that

but not now

There aren't many of them, so there's no need

[pine oracle]

I didn't had much time today, so i just added intiger printing

it's hard to control program flow with assembly but i guess struggling is best way to learn it :d (i am beginner in asm)

ohh shit i forgot about negative numbers....

okay that will be easy to fix

[feral moss]

this still a progress

[pine oracle]

Works on real hardware

Getting key press using SIMPLE_TEXT_INPUT_PROTOCOL

[feral moss]

omagad bist loader works on rela hw

When kids learn, writing efi apps is just as easy as "hello world!", once you have normal UEFI headers (normal meaning anything but gnu-efi).

[pine oracle]

I am writing in asm without any libraries

But if I understand correctly they are nothing but header files: structs and defines according to UEFI spec?
