# CS3502 Project 01-A Fall 2023
# Setting up the OS Development Environment
# Learning Objectives:
#
## The purpose of this assignment is to continue the development examples of setting up an Operating System kernel.
##
## Submissions will be placed here and they will contribute to the total assignment grade of 100 points.
##
## This is the kernel build environment setup process and constitutes the Part I of the Kernel Build assignment. This assignment in D2L contains four sections that will complete the Project Assignment:
##
## Part I: Set up Environment -- install NASM,QEMU, GCC, GDB in WSL, VM or native installation.
## First, read Part I below and review the attached Power Point for how to set up the environment.
## Part II: Get to a working shell prompt.
## Then complete the tasks for Part II given below in this document. Do not forget to answer the questions at the end.
##
## Part III: Add a Memory Manager (the HEAP, Linked List data structures)
## Implement Best Fit, Worst Fit and First Fit kernel memory manager algorithm.
## Part IV: Add a Process Manager (Linked List or Balanced BST data structure)
## Given a process binary load a process into memory.
## Part V: Add a File Manager (Linked List and Tree or graph data structures)
## Implement a directory structure.
##
**PART I**
See the Power Point file in D2L EnvironmentSetup.ppt and complete the
instructions. Be sure to contact me in class, office hours (or even
outside of office hours) if you have any difficulties -- and... you
***will*** have difficulties. Contact me early and often.
NOTE: 4Gb is probably the minimum size for Ubuntu16 with all the sudo
apt-get installs done but you may want more room (i.e. 20Gb if you have
sufficient space). ALSO be sure to install a FIXED size, this will save
performance issues later.
Future assignment kernel development sections will depend and build on
completing this one.
The files are in D2L and for convenience are embedded here as well.

**PART II -- The debugger and world's simplest shell prompt**
##
**See the very bottom of assignment for discussion questions, points for
both the screenshot and each section questions at end of Part II:**
You will need NASM, GCC, QEMU, GDB. The latter three are already
installed but from the bash (Windows Subsystem for Linux) or x-term
(Ubuntu 16 Virtual Machine) run the following:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
sudo apt-get install gdb
##
## As before retrieve the file kernel.zip.gz from D2L and extract to your home directory or another place. The file is included here but if it does not show up properly retrieve from D2L as well.
## In WSL you may have to copy from Downloads by executing the command:
##
## cd \~
## cp /mnt/c/Users/\<Windows Login ID\>/Downloads/kernel.zip.gz .
##
## In the VM though it may be easier to just access D2L from Firefox88 (ignore warnings about compatibility it still runs today) and download the files directly in the VM in D2L. Otherwise you may have to use sftp to connect to the host machine. See me for any issues and we can go through this part together.
##
##
## ![](vertopal_9e3eccfef1264d5fb3cbe7b5a224df4b/media/image4.emf)
## E.g. run:
##
## cd \~
## tar -xvf kernel.tar.gz
##
## This will create eight directories under the directory a4:
##
## For section 01_gdb, it will be longer than the others, the rest are just make... screenshot \-\-- for the most part. **RED** is the section assignment, **GREEN** asks specifically for submission information.
##
## **Part II -- Connecting the gnu debugger, Video and Interrupts**
##
##
##
## **01_gdb - Simple kernel continuation for \"vga\" graphic manipulation and connecting to debugger**
## Change to the directory **01_gdb** and run the command:
## make clean
## make
## make run (if you are using qemu -vga std)
## make curses (if you have trouble with qemu -vga std and run qemu -curses)
##
## You should have a window that looks similar to this.
## ![](vertopal_9e3eccfef1264d5fb3cbe7b5a224df4b/media/image5.png){width="5.375in" height="2.8069444444444445in"}
##
## Navigate to the kernel directory under 01_gdb and edit the file kernel.c to insert the following after the line " \*video_memory = 'X';". Don't forget to make sure the brace } at the end doesn't get overwritten when you add these lines:
##
## If you are running Windows Subsystem for Linux you can run notepad.exe from a bash prompt e.g. if your files are extracted under your home directory:
## cd \~ \-\-- will take you to home directory
## cd a4
## cd 01_gdb
## cd kernel
##
## **If in WSL run:**
## /mnt/c/Windows/notepad.exe kernel.c
## If you are familiar with using "vi" or other editors you can use them instead.
##
## **If in ubuntu16 Virtual Machine the native text editor is gedit:**
## gedit kernel.c
##
## **unsigned char a;**
## **unsigned char b;**
## **a = 0;**
## **b = 0;**
## **for( int i = 1; i \< 24; ++i) {**
## **for( int j = 0; j \< 80; ++j) {**
## **\*(video_memory + i\*160 + j\*2) = \'.\';**
## **}**
## **}**
##
## **\*video_memory = \'Z\';**
## **for( int i = 10; i \< 20; ++i) {**
## **for( int j = 50; j \< 60; ++j) {**
## **\*(video_memory + i\*160 + j\*2) = \'X\';**
## **}**
## **}**
## **while( 1) {**
## **\*(video_memory+0) = b;**
## **\*(video_memory+1) = ++a;**
## **b = b + a/255;**
## **}**
##
## Once done editing, save the file, in the shell prompt rebuild the edited:
##
## cd .. ###This should take you to up one level back to **a4/01_gdb** directory
## make clean
## make
## make curses \--OR\-- make run
##
##
## **Take a screenshot of the result and submit it. Exit this instance, make sure you are in the directory 01_gdb and run the command:**
##
## make clean
## make debug
##
## Then, open a **second x-term/bash shell**, navigate to the directory **01_gdb** and connect the debugger to the running program in the other shell:
## make gdb
##
## You will see two windows like these (debugger and connected program):
## ![](vertopal_9e3eccfef1264d5fb3cbe7b5a224df4b/media/image6.png){width="3.3333333333333335in" height="1.7516338582677164in"} ![](vertopal_9e3eccfef1264d5fb3cbe7b5a224df4b/media/image7.png){width="3.3020833333333335in" height="1.727244094488189in"}
##
## In the gdb window at the (gdb) prompt type:
## list 0
## jump \_start
## break \_start
## info break
## jump \_start
## step 1
## step 2
## step 10
##
## **You may have to hit Ctrl-C if the prompt disappears and appears to do nothing here. Then you can restart.**
## NOTE: On my office computer gdb ran fine, but on my home computer gdb connected but did not control the program output as it did in the office. Depending on your setup, the second window may respond differently.
##
## **Show a screenshot of the gdb window of the results from the above commands.**
##
## ***NOTE: If you only allocated 1 CPU to the Ubuntu 16 Virtual Machine this program will freeze your VM. If you only have one CPU allocated go ahead and run it but you'll have to reset it from the VM Window to stop it.***
##

**You are now ready to begin kernel design of the principle modules of
Kernel design: The CPU Scheduler, Memory Manager and File System
Implementation**
## **QUESTIONS**
## 01_gdb -- How does the while(1) change the output when \*video_memory and \*video_memory +1 are updated with the **a** and **b** values?
## 01_gdb -- What information do you receive from running the debugger step commands while watching the kernel run in the other terminal?
## 02_driver -- In kernel.c why is offset_from_vga assigned position multiplied by \*2?
## 03_strings -- Where is the function kprint_at stored in the 03_strings build?
## 03_strings -- kprint_at( "X", 1, 6) what is each argument representing here?
## 04_scroll -- After modifying to slow scroll down and increasing number of i loops; was the result what you expected, what do you think is happening?
## 05_basic_int What is the directive in kernel.c: \_\_asm\_\_ \_\_volatile\_\_(\"int \$2\"); doing?
## 06_irq - Where is the routine that prints the S when an interrupt is received in 06_irq?
## 07_timers -- What is the value 10/50/1000 doing to the timer result?

**Submission Guidelines:**
- No handwritten submission is accepted, always submit answers as text
within this or similar document file with any support images
embedded in the file.
- **EXCEPTION**: If asked for source code implementation you can
submit those individually and as separate files in ASCII format in
their original file format .cpp, .java, .py, .cs etc. or even as a
.txt file will be acceptable. Do not insert code into the submission
document file. It ruins spacing which makes .python and some
languages (perl, awk etc.) difficult to test build.
- Do not submit ZIP files... ever... for anything in D2L. The system
is extremely unhelpful with regards to those filetypes and grading.
- You may include your freehand drawing/image and handwritten scans in
the submission. However, the writing and images must be clearly
legible. Though, it is best to present non-handwritten submissions,
generally, as is done in the professional setting.
- If asked, show all work/calculations/graphs etc. in the
determination of the problem.
- **Please complete your entire work in a single Word Document and
Save the file as: yournetid_CS3502_ProjectP1_2.docx (e.g.
ogarcia5_CS3502_ProjectP1_2.docx.) and upload your file in D2L.**
- Please observe the submission due date and time. After the due date
there is a 50% penalty for the next 24 hours. Any submission after
24 hours of the due date will be graded at 0%.
- If you include a reference or an image taken from other sources,
please cite them appropriately. APA is preferred but cite them so
they can be found. **NOTE: verbatim copying or even paraphrasing is
plagiarism so if the source used constitutes your answer rather than
simply *supporting* the answer, it will be considered invalid. This
is especially true of source code implementation answers.**
- If you resubmit, please make sure to attach the file again. Your
latest submission before the due date will be the one graded.
