AMD64
Revision as of 09:57, 28 December 2009 by Lone Rifle (talk | contribs) (→Links: Enough information here already, categorizing to Category:Development)
This page describes the current status of the AMD64 port of ReactOS. AMD64 refers to AMD's specifications for a 64-bit extension to the x86 instruction set. It is also known as x86-64 (and variants such as x86_64 and x64).
The ros-amd64-bringup branch was created on r34699 by Timo Kreuzer.
Status
- Everything builds
- A bootcd is created
- setupldr loads, switches the cpu to long mode, initializes hardware/memory/paging and jumps to ntoskrnl
- Basic Mm initialization is done, then the system crashes
- Non paged pool allocations work
- Debugging with WinDbg (break points, single stepping etc) works
- Enabling interrupts makes everything go nots
Completion Status (rough estimates)
- freeldr: 95% (only fixes expected)
- hal: 5% (only initial work has been done, most missing is support for interrupts)
- ntoskrnl/ke: 50% (core functionality is implemented)
- ntoskrnl/mm: 10% (only a few functions are implemented, most stuff is missing)
- rtl: 60% (exception handling is missing and unwinding is incomplete)
- crt: 60% (missing stuff here and there)
- PSEH: 0% (unimplemented. Waiting for mingw-w64 support)
