Virgil Dupras 2a55bfd375 stdio: remove a layer of indirection in GetC/PutC 
We use zasm's ability to use labels in .equ directive.

We didn't do it before because for a while, we were in between scas
and zasm (scas was used in automated tests) so we needed to use the
lowest common denominator: zasm doesn't have macros and scas can't
use labels in .equ directives.

This forced us to add this layer of indirection. But now that we are
completely cut from scas' dependency, we can use this nice zasm's
ability.

Collapse OS

Bootstrap post-collapse technology

Collapse OS is a z80 kernel and a collection of programs, tools and documentation that allows you to assemble an OS that, when completed, will be able to:

  1. Run on minimal and improvised machines.
  2. Interface through improvised means (serial, keyboard, display).
  3. Edit text files.
  4. Compile assembler source files for a wide range of MCUs and CPUs.
  5. Read and write from a wide range of storage devices.
  6. Replicate itself.

Additionally, the goal of this project is to be as self-contained as possible. With a copy of this project, a capable and creative person should be able to manage to build and install Collapse OS without external resources (i.e. internet) on a machine of her design, built from scavenged parts with low-tech tools.

See it in action

Michael Schierl has put together a set of emulators running in the browser that run Collapse OS in different contexts.

Using those while following along with the User Guide is your quickest path to giving Collapse OS a try.

Organisation of this repository

  • kernel: Pieces of code to be assembled by the user into a kernel.
  • apps: Pieces of code to be assembled into "userspace" application.
  • recipes: collection of recipes that assemble parts together on a specific machine.
  • doc: User guide for when you've successfully installed Collapse OS.
  • tools: Tools for working with Collapse OS from "modern" environments. Mostly development tools, but also contains emulated zasm, which is necessary to build Collapse OS from a non-Collapse OS machine.

Each folder has a README with more details.

Status

The project unfinished but is progressing well! See Collapse OS' website for more information.
