This approach allows BochsĤ7 to run a wide variety of software with no modification, include most popularĤ8 x86 operating systems: Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP and Vista, all Linux flavors,ĥ3 Bochs is written in the C++ programming language, and is designed to runĥ6 Since Bochs can run on one kind of machine and simulate another machine, weĥ7 have to be clear in our terminology to avoid confusion. Because BochsĤ5 simulates the whole PC environment, the software running in the simulationĤ6 "believes" it is running on a real machine. Bochs can be compiled to emulate many differentģ9 x86 CPUs, from early 386 to the most recent x86-64 Intel and AMDĤ0 processors which may even not reached the market yet.Ĥ1 42 Bochs interprets every instruction from power-up to reboot, and hasĤ3 device models for all of the standard PC peripherals: keyboard, mouse,Ĥ4 VGA card/monitor, disks, timer chips, network card, etc. As a special service "Fossies" has tried to format the requested text file into HTML format (style: standard) with prefixed line numbers.Īlternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code file.Ī hint: This file contains one or more very long lines, so maybe it is better readable using the pure text view mode that shows the contents as wrapped lines within the browser window.ģ6 Bochs is a program that simulates a complete Intel x86 computer.ģ7 It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices,ģ8 and a custom BIOS.
