在linux debian系统上写个hello world版的bootloader

根据 http://viralpatel.net/taj/tutorial/hello_world_bootloader.php这篇文章来做的。

准备:

nasm

qemu

安装nasm和qemu：

sudo apt-get install nasm

sudo apt-get install qemu

编写bootloader文件，命名为mybootloader.asm：

[BITS 16]	;Tells the assembler that its a 16 bit code
[ORG 0x7C00]	;Origin, tell the assembler that where the code will
				;be in memory after it is been loaded

MOV SI, HelloString ;Store string pointer to SI
CALL PrintString	;Call print string procedure
JMP $ 		;Infinite loop, hang it here.


PrintCharacter:	;Procedure to print character on screen
	;Assume that ASCII value is in register AL
MOV AH, 0x0E	;Tell BIOS that we need to print one charater on screen.
MOV BH, 0x00	;Page no.
MOV BL, 0x07	;Text attribute 0x07 is lightgrey font on black background

INT 0x10	;Call video interrupt
RET		;Return to calling procedure



PrintString:	;Procedure to print string on screen
	;Assume that string starting pointer is in register SI

next_character:	;Lable to fetch next character from string
MOV AL, [SI]	;Get a byte from string and store in AL register
INC SI		;Increment SI pointer
OR AL, AL	;Check if value in AL is zero (end of string)
JZ exit_function ;If end then return
CALL PrintCharacter ;Else print the character which is in AL register
JMP next_character	;Fetch next character from string
exit_function:	;End label
RET		;Return from procedure


;Data
HelloString db 'Hello World', 0	;HelloWorld string ending with 0

TIMES 510 - ($ - $$) db 0	;Fill the rest of sector with 0
DW 0xAA55			;Add boot signature at the end of bootloader

编译mybootloader.asm:

nasm mybootloader.asm -f bin -o boot.bin

运行qemu, 加载bootloader:

qemu-system-i386 boot.bin

结果如图：
