Structure of an application
KolibriOS's application structure is not specifically reserved for asm programming, the header can be produced with practically any other language. However, the overall application programming design is intended for easy 32 bit asm programming. The GUI is extremely easy to handle with especially asm language.
Programming for KolibriOS is easy as you first learn the basic structure of an application. At this point I assume you have some experience in assembly language.
The KolibriOS API (Application Programming Interface) is an easy-to-learn set of functions with practically no hierarchical accesses.
The operating of an application is based on events. The application is notified by the OS with the event type and the application acts accordingly.
There are three event types an application is expected to handle by default: window redraw, keypress and buttonpress.
Flow chart and structure of an application with default events:

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;The header
db 'MENUET01'Since KolibriOS still is more or less API compatible with MenuetOS, it has the same header. There is also an older version of the header which uses 'MENUET00', but it should not be used anymore.
dd 0x01 ; header versionSpeaks for itself.
dd START ; start of executionSTART is the label in your program where kernel will jump to after loading the program. You could use another name, but it's convenient to always use the same.
dd I_END ; size of imageThis is the total size of the program code in bytes, its easy to use a label which you place at the end of the code.
dd 0x100000This is the amount of ram that will be reserved for your app. You could use a static value as shown here, or you could use I_END + xx bytes. There, I_END would be the label to the end of code + all static declarations you made after the code. The xx bytes then are the number of bytes you want to use for the stack. Also note, this value can later be changed by using system functions.
dd 0x100000 ; stack position in memory areaWhere the end of stack is (the value of esp at start of program). Logically, this would be the same as the previous value.
dd 0x0 ; ParametersIf you want to use parameters, this should be a pointer to a 1024 byte buffer, in which those parameters will be written by the kernel. If you don't want to use them, set this dword to 0.
dd 0x0 ; PathPath value, works the same as parameter.
System calls
The System calls (API) are explained in various sources. There is the file syscalls.txt which you can find in KolibriOS itself, but also in the zip file of the distribution.< If you understand russian, you can also find system calls on this wiki.
To execute a system call, you first need to fill the registers with the correct value. Say we want to wait a couple of milliseconds, we need to use system function 5 and place the time we want to wait in ebx.
mov eax, 5
mov ebx, 10Now, we need to execute the function, this can be done with int 0x40:
int 0x40But also with more modern instructions such as syscall, sysenter etc. It's convenient to use the mcall macro from macros.inc, then you can choose to use int 0x40 or another method, at compile time. This macro also accepts parameters, first is eax, second is ebx, ...
Code for the above would be:
mcall 5, 10Coding Style
It's advisable to use the coding style, as described here: Style
The API
You can find the latest API documentation in /kernel/docs/ in the SVN repository (WebSVN)
Inside KolibriOS, you can find sysfuncs.txt (english version) or sysfuncr (russian version) in DOCKPACK program.
These files also come with the so called distribution kit, in documents folder.
Assembly examples
Some examples are listed on this page, more can be found on the SVN server in the folder /programs/develop/examples/ (WebSVN)

Using uniform system colours
While previous example concentrated on creating a basic application, in this section more attention is paid on the outlook of the window.
You can use uniform desktop colors defined by a colour setup application.

I_END:Threads
KolibriOS assembly threading has some great advantages over higher level languages. If you keep all the variables in registers, you can start as many threads as desired with the _same_ code, since no memory is affected and needs no saving. The registers are saved to Task Switch Segments by KolibriOS. All you have to do is to set a new stack.
Threads have no difference with the main process and use the same memory area as the process which starts it. They can have their own independent windows etc. In the closing of application, all threads have to be terminated with the default (eax = -1) system call.
New function in this example is create_thread.

I_END:Real-Time data
The following example focuses on Real-Time data fetching and processing. Application informs the OS for all the ports and datatypes to read at a specific IRQ.
Steps:
- reserve I/O port area
- reserve IRQ
- program IRQ
- program EVENT list for wanted IRQ
- runtime processing of the data
- back to default events - free IRQ from EVENT list
- free IRQ
- free port area
- terminate program
After IRQ's are programmed, the application has a new event for the main event loop, number (IRQ+16). When the application receives this event, the OS has recorded data ready for the application to process.
The table below shows the main structure of processing real time data. All the steps on the left of (A) are processed by the OS and the steps right from (A) are processed by the application.
IRQ OWNER => REC DATA (A) SYS_EVENT => READ DATA => PROCESS 0 TIMER SYS 1 KEYBOARD SYS 2 free -> 3 COM MOUSE SYS/free ?> 4 COM MOUSE SYS/free ?> 5 SOUND BL. SYS 6 FLOPPY SYS 7 free -> 8 free -> 9 free -> 10 free -> 11 free -> 12 PS2 MOUSE SYS/free ?> 13 MATH PR. SYS 14 IDE SYS 15 IDE SYS
