README
An Intel 8086 CPU Emulator written in pure PHP.
Project Outlines
The project outlines as described in my blog post about Open Source Software Collaboration.
- The main purpose of this software is to emulate the Intel 8086 CPU using pure PHP.
- The features should not go beyond Intel's features and functions. So the features of this software are limited to those of the Intel 8086 CPU.
- This list is open. Feel free to request features.
Compile the BIOS
Run make bios/bios.
TTY
In order to have a TTY for the in- and output you can specify --tty <path>. This will start a socat subprocess to create an interface between PHP and TTY. The TTY then can be accessed using screen.
Optional, to use a different installation path for the socat binary you can specify --socat <path>.
- Install
socat. - Open a shell and run
./bin/screen.sh. - Open another shell and run
./bin/run.sh.
Terms
Byte- 8 bit, one single character.Word- 16 bit, or 2 Byte.
