I'm back working on FreeMWare again.
What I'm up to now, is compiling/condensing a number of
ideas from past emails on virtualization strategies, into
one coherent document. I'll focus on the basic stuff,
and move the advanced stuff to the end.
Thought this would be good for newcomers and for
a quick review by anyone.
Am partially finished with the rehash. Am planning
on completeing that, and getting back to coding after
this Thanksgiving weekend.
I'll probably start out with the instruction
pre-scanner logic. Should be a piece of cake after
writing a number of decode/disasm loops for bochs etc.
With an eye for the future, I'm going to start out
from day one by passing an instruction map to the
pre-scanner, of instructions to virtualize, rather
than have them built in. This will be very useful
for plugging debugging/instrumentation logic into
FreeMWare to be used as a very powerful software ICE kind
of tool.
It's good to be back...
