Go to the assignments directory. Pick up the relevant subdirectory.
Each assignment directory has two subdirectories: stud
and teacher
.
You should use the files provided in stud
.
The teacher
directory has the example solution.
Right now they are being double checked and quite soon I am going to put the rest of them in assignments directory.
In this repository. If it is a listing, go to listings directory. If this is a part of assignment, find the relevant assignment in assignments directory.
For example, lib.inc
is the file needed for the first assignment and it is located at assignments/1_io_library/stud.
We do not support x32 systems.
Windows 10 allows you to install WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). Use it to complete assignments.
Refer to the official installation guide.
We are not officially supporting completing assembly assignments on Mac OS. The C assignments, however, should work perfectly fine.
The system calls numbers supplied in rax
before syscall
instruction is executed are different on Mac OS. To find them:
- Find your kernel version:
machine:~ user$ uname -v
Darwin Kernel Version 15.6.0: Thu Jun 23 18:25:34 PDT 2016; root:xnu-3248.60.10~1/RELEASE_X86_64
The version part is xnu-3248.60.10
-
Go to the sources at: https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/{KERNEL_VERSION}/bsd/kern/syscalls.master.auto.html E.g. https://opensource.apple.com/source/xnu/xnu-3248.60.10/bsd/kern/syscalls.master.auto.html
-
There you have syscall numbers in the first column. To make it work also add 0x2000000 to that number. E.g. for write call you need to pass not just 0x4, but 0x2000004

The problems are usually related to your host VM's network configuration. E.g. see this issue.
