Getting Started

Note: This software is still very much in an early stage, and is currently more focused towards developers rather than end-users.

Stable releases are available on the Releases page.

Prebuilt Linux binaries of the latest commit are also available on the GitHub Actions page.

Building

Download the latest release or commit of fox32rom, and place the downloaded fox32.rom file into the root directory of this repo. Then simply run make. The resulting binary will be saved as fox32.

Usage

The following arguments are valid: - --disk <file>: mount the specified file as a disk - --rom <file>: use the specified file as the boot ROM. if this argument is not specified then the embedded copy of fox32rom is used - --debug: print a disassembly of each instruction as it runs

The most common use case is passing the fox32os disk image as the first disk: ./fox32 --disk fox32os.img

See encoding.md for information about the instruction set.
