PC-Emulator Bochs
« am: 28 August, 2006, 11:23 »
Neue Version mit Unterstützung für Supend und Restore

Der freie x86-Emulator Bochs kann in der jetzt erschienenen Version 2.3 den Hardware-Status einer virtuellen Maschine speichern, um an diesem Punkt fortzufahren. Außerdem enthält die Bochs einige Fehlerkorrekturen und nutzt ein aktualisiertes VGA-BIOS.

Bochs emuliert Teile eines x86-Computers inklusive des Prozessors und des BIOS. Auch 64-Bit-Prozessoren kann Bochs mittlerweile emulieren. Innerhalb dieser virtuellen Maschine lassen sich Betriebssysteme wie BSD, Linux und auch Windows installieren. Dabei ist Bochs auch in der Lage, die x86-Komponenten auf anderen Hardware-Architekturen wie PowerPC zu emulieren.

In der neuen Version unterstützt Bochs in Teilen Suspend und Restore der virtuellen Maschinen und speichert somit Konfigurations- und Log-Optionen sowie den Status der Hardware. Die Festplatten-Emulation unterstützt ATA-3 und Bochs enthält eine neue Version des VGA-BIOS. Zusätzlich unterstützt Bochs Dual-Core-Prozessoren und Intels Hyperthreading-Technik, so dass sich einzelne Kerne und Threads gezielt für die Multiprozessor-Emulation nutzen lassen.

Darüber hinaus bringt Bochs 2.3 eine Reihe von Fehlerkorrekturen mit, speziell für die CPU-Emulation und den internen Debugger.

Der unter der LGPL veröffentlichte PC-Emulator Bochs 2.3 steht ab sofort bei Sourceforge ( http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=12580&package_id=17475&release_id=442658  ) zum Download bereit. Auf der Bochs-Projektseite gibt es zudem vorgefertigte Festplatten-Images ( http://bochs.sourceforge.net/diskimages.html  ) , um Linux und BSD in Bochs einzusetzen.

Bochs 2.5.1
« Antwort #1 am: 08 Januar, 2012, 06:30 »
Bochs ist ein freier x86- und AMD64-Emulator und Debugger, der den Bedingungen der LGPL unterliegt.

Viele Betriebssysteme, wie etwa Windows oder Linux, können unter Bochs betrieben werden. Ebenso ist Bochs für viele verschiedene Betriebssysteme erhältlich.

Bochs dient auch als Plattform, um etwa ein Betriebssystem oder hardwarenahe Anwendungen für einen PC zu entwickeln und zu testen. Ziel der Entwickler ist es, eine vollständige PC-Kompatibilität zu erreichen. Da Bochs allerdings als reiner Emulator die Maschinenbefehle nicht direkt ausführt, sind die Ausführungsgeschwindigkeiten entsprechend niedriger als bei virtuellen Maschinen wie VirtualBox, VMware Workstation oder Virtual PC.


Bochs ist in der Lage, auch auf einer Nicht-x86-Architektur einen x86-Prozessor zu emulieren. So kann man zum Beispiel unter Mac OS X auf dem Apple Macintosh auf einem PowerPC-Prozessor oder unter Solaris auf einem Sun SPARC-Prozessor ein x86-Gastsystem wie Windows nutzen.

    - Fixed crash when using a "fixed" type VPC image.

- ROM BIOS
  - Fixed int74_function() for 4-byte (wheel mouse) packets.
