**fox32** (stylized in all lowercase) is a 32 bit fantasy computer architecture, with a custom operating system and user interface inspired by various classic computers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 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](https://github.com/fox32-arch/fox32/releases).
|
|
|
|
Prebuilt Linux binaries of the latest commit are also available on the [GitHub Actions page](https://github.com/fox32-arch/fox32/actions).
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
Download the latest release or commit of [**fox32rom**](https://github.com/fox32-arch/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**](https://github.com/fox32-arch/fox32os) disk image as the first disk: `./fox32 --disk fox32os.img`
|
|

|
See [encoding.md](docs/encoding.md) for information about the instruction set.
