Running Code in the Pre-Boot Environment
Before your operating system loads, the UEFI (Unified Extensible Firmware Interface) runs. The code in the UEFI is responsible for getting the initial bits of your operating system loaded and then passes control to it for it to load the rest of its components. For the sake of having a better understanding of how things work, this past weekend I decided to write code that would run from the UEFI.
With #x86 real mode's very odd memory segmentation thing, I wonder if it's even possible to compile #Rust code for it.
Like, does Rust pointer arithmetic even work when pointers are not simple addresses but segment:offset tuples? Because the Rust standard library uses pointer arithmetic aplenty if I'm not mistaken.
There are ways to compile Rust code for #MSDOS, but they require a 386 and work by switching the CPU into 32-bit mode and turning off segmentation.
🌘 Solaris 2.1 for x86：Sun Microsystems 進軍 PC 市場的初次嘗試
➤ 回顧 Sun Microsystems 早期進軍個人電腦市場的作業系統
✤ https://www.os2museum.com/wp/pc-unix-history/solaris-2-1-for-x86/
本文回顧了 Sun Microsystems 於 1993 年夏天發布的 Solaris 2.1 for x86 作業系統。儘管這並非 Sun 首款 x86 系統，卻是其首度嘗試進軍標準 PC 市場。Solaris 2.1 結合了 System V Release 4 (SVR4) 與 BSD 的介面，並為 XENIX 應用程式提供相容性支援。該系統透過 CD-ROM 發行，並需要一張開機軟碟，由於當時可開機 CD-ROM 尚未標準化。安裝方式可選擇網路安裝或僅支援 SCSI CD-ROM 控制器，但可安裝於 ATA 硬碟。Solaris 2.1 採用先進的動態載入式核心模組，類似當時的 Windows

Ah yes, because nothing screams "cutting-edge 2017 technology" like dusting off your ancient #x86 and installing #Solaris 2.1! 😂 In a world where even your toaster runs #Linux, let's all raise a glass to this fossilized OS revival that nobody asked for. 🦖✨

V86 is an x86 emulator that runs in the browser. It supports a selection of preconfigured historical and current operating systems, including a few rarely emulated ones such as Windows CE, and you can upload your own operating system image.
V86 is similar to the popular PCjs.

A nice account of how #Intel spent far too much time & money with #HP on the doomed #Itanium 64-bit #CPU, only to be beaten by #AMD with #Athlon (with help from #Microsoft):

I'm considering trying out a #RadxaX4 for my #NeXTcube mini for a native #OPENSTEP 4.2 installation. Since it's #x86 #Intel hardware (N100), that should be possible, right? 🤔

Creating initial stations added. So player can start expanding the rail network. Spawning a pod kinda added (visually). Slowly getting more game-play functionality.

Anyone knows details about Intel's own pre-AMD64 64bit extensions for x86?
Details on the internet are rather sparse:

Specifically, I wonder which instruction encoding they picked (vs. AMD repurposing inc/dec instructions for REX).
Video: Amithlon was an Amiga emulator for x86 computers developed by Harald Frank and Bernd Meyer. In his latest video, Dan Wood looks back at its history, provides installation tips and tests the emulator.
For me, Intel going down into a spiral is the best thing ever since their antitrust shenanigans.
I wait patiently for the day they will have to open their x86 license so NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Google, Microsoft, Broadcom, SK Hynix, Micron and Samsung create their own CPU.
Who knows if by Intel going down we get an x86 resurgence.

Коробка багов (эмулируется)
24 августа 2025 года состоялся релиз 86Box 5.0. Низкоуровневый эмулятор IBM PC и совместимых с ним компьютеров получил новый динамический рекомпилятор инструкций процессора, расширил поддержку "железа" и улучшил работу множества уже существующих компонентов. Что ещё внутри "коробки"?

Programmiamo in Assembly x86 la serie di Taylor (o meglio di Maclaurin) per calcolare il seno di un angolo con le istruzioni SSE. Non sarà più facile che utilizzare la FPU, ma sicuramente sarà più veloce! #x86 #assembly #taylorseries

I used a Netpliance i-Opener as my main system, bridging the time between selling my B&W G3 400 PowerMac and ordering a PowerMac G4 Dual 800.
I got in before they changed the terms of service, so paid $99 and done. Upgraded it to a WinChip 2, added a serial port, ethernet, and a little HD for storage. Good times, that summer.
There's an amusing story of the company calling and trying to get me to pay out due to the binding contract they told me they had retroactively applied to all sold units. lol
