| | Daemon News 199907 : Questions and Answers on Bochs with Kevin Lawton |
 | | Fortunately, emulation of the IO devices is also done in bochs, and it is this code which I'm moving over to the open source domain to be used in freemware. | | | Bochs is a pure emulator, in that it emulates everything: the CPU, IO devices, memory, etc. It's easiest to think about DOSEMU and Wine as API emulators. | | | Also, I think it'd be cool to have a computer with a programmable CPU core, such that you could download a new version of it's logic whenever you wanted, from your Linux cross compilation environment. |

| | Bochs: A Portable PC Emulator For Unix/X Linux Journal |
| | Bochs is a pure emulator in that it emulates each x86 instruction in software, along with the necessary BIOS and hardware you expect to find on a PC. | | | Since all instructions are emulated in the C language, Bochs is not bound to any particular processor and is very portable to many other Unix platforms. | | | Bochs needed to emulate a graphics card supported by Windows, and I chose the monochrome Hercules Graphics Adapter (HGA), since it was the simplest to implement. |

| | FreeBSD on Bochs Sig9 |
| | Hacking my existing desktop system was not feasible and since I cannot not afford the luxury of multiple computers for this purpose, the obvious solution was to use Bochs, the IA32 emulator (In simple terms, Bochs is a software program that emulates a computer, enabling you to run multiple operating systems inside another operating system). | | | The Bochs configuration file specifies the location of disk images, details of the emulation layer and its virtual peripheral components (see bochsrc(5)). | | | I figured that it was much easier to understand the innards of FreeBSD by observing it "at work" and correlate it with the source code rather than perusing all of it. |

| | My experience in installing and attempting to use Bochs |
| | Bochs is a cross-platform emulator for the Intel IA-32 series of processors. | | | Bochs Configuration: Main Menu ------------------------------ This is the Bochs Configuration Interface, where you can describe the machine that you want to simulate. | | | The hardware that I am using is an IBM Aptiva with a 433 MHz Intel Celeron processor, and 32MB of PC100 SDRAM. |

| | How Bochs works under the hood |
| | Most of these pieces of hardware have their own C++ class - and if bochs is configured to have more than one piece of a type of hardware, each will have its own object. | | | Other important pieces of the puzzle are: the options object (reads/writes configuration files, can be written to and queried while bochs is running) and the GUI object. | | | The CPU class is a special case of the above: if bochs is simulating a uni- processor machine then there is obviously only one bx_cpu_c object and the static methods trick can be used. |
