go86

Experimental 8086 emulator to learn the Go programming language.

Running

Run the emulator using the go run command.

Here's an example:

go run cmd/go86/go86.go -alsologtostderr run [path to 8086 executable]

Using the debugger

go86 offers two types of debuggers:

• The lame debugger - this is a text based socket protocol designed for interactive human use. It's available on port 2159 by default.

• GDB remote serial protocol debugger - This will implement the GDB remote serial protocol over a socket. You may connect with the following:

  set debug remote 1
  target remote [host]:2159
