- VBE enable register returns 32k granularity flag if enabled.
- VBE bank register returns 32k granularity flag if VBE_DISPI_GETCAPS is set.
- Defining new DISPI ID not necessary.
- TODO: update VGABIOS to use this feature.
- Banshee: added 'write character' support for 8 bpp modes.
- Banshee / Cirrus: report TTY support for 8 bpp VBE modes.
- FIXME: Banshee scroll code works for 'scroll up' only.
- TODO: TTY support for the Bochs VBE adapter.
- Limit VBE bank size to 64k as expected.
- Enabling VBE mode now clears the whole video memory for all bpp modes unless
"noclear" bit is set.
- Prepared 32k bank granularity mode required for text output functions. Added
new VBE_DISPI_ID6 to indicate this capability. The default is still 64k.
- Added new files with small changes, output can be viewed with Wireshark.
- FIXME: Windows ports crash with original Win98 guest and USB disk connected.
- TODO: mention new feature in documentation.
- Added initial version of the VGABIOS for Voodoo Banshee adapters.
- Several code optimizations to reduce binary size.
NOTE #1: Banshee version has no VBE support yet.
NOTE #2: Banshee binary uses PCI ID for Banshee PCI and Bochs temporarily
modifies the PCI data for Voodoo3 and AGP models.
- vgacore: method get_crtc_params() now returns selected video clock value.
- banshee: now using selected video clock instead of hardcoded VCLK #3.
- cirrus: added vertical frequency to mode switch BX_INFO.
- Moved setup of default i/o register values to reset().
- Set up strapInfo register bits in init().
- Don't overwrite readonly bits in miscInit1 register.
- Set up subsystem ID in VGABIOS ROM in case it's > 32k (doesn't exist yet).
- Copy subsystem ID from ROM to PCI config registers in reset().
- Added helper function get_floppy_devtype_from_type().
- The floppy type option now accepts the value "none".
- Added parameter handler for "devtype" to handle the BX_FDD_NONE case.
- Cleaned up floppy options parser code.
"none" the dependent parameters cannot be set. That's why the bochsrc parser
needs to set device type first.
- Set initial device type of first floppy to '3.5" 1.44M'.
- Detect device type along with image type if necessary.
- TODO: fixes for media types like "1_44" and some more cleanup.
cannot unload itself, BX_UNREGISTER_DEVICE_DEVMODEL() call will fail. Setting
plugin control flag to 0 like other devices do. When starting simulation, all
unused plugins are removed.
NOTE: The pcidev stuff is unmaintained, functionality not tested.
- Bochs for wxMSW: fixed duplicate value caused by manifest.
- Bochs for wxMSW: fixed resource file dependencies.
- Include gui debugger resources only when enabled.
It has been compiled and tested on Linux, with MinGW/MSYS and MSVC nmake.
TODO: Check whether or not the config interface choice "win32config" can be
a plugin, too. Possibly add a new plugin type for config interfaces.
interface to textconfig if the selected gui has a builtin console in
SIM->set_init_done(). This is required on Windows for the rfb and vncsrv guis.
Cleaned up the textconfig code.
plugin is possible now. Added new functions text_print() and text_ask() in
textconfig.cc to replace related methods of bx_param_c classes. Removed a now
obsolete comment section in siminterface.h.
- Don't include paramtree.h in siminterface.h to get rid of duplicates
in a lot of Makefile dependency lines.
- Regenerated Makefile dependencies in iodev and affected subdirectories.
- FIXME #1: including debug.h causes duplicate entries of config.h and osdep.h.
- FIXME #2: cpudb.h appears in most of the iodev* dependencies, but only needed
by config.cc and the cpu class.
- Moved serial and parallel config parameter list creation to the corresponding
device code.
- Unregister serial and parallel bochsrc options in PLUGIN_FINI mode.
- Moved USB config and runtime parameter list creation to bx_init_usb_options().
- textconfig.cc: Small fixes in the optional plugin control.
- Changed variable type of the plugin_t "type" member from enum to Bit16u.
- Added support for returning device flags with the new mode PLUGIN_FLAGS in
the plugin entry functions. It is currently only used for devices that can
be connected to a PCI slot.
- Code cleanup in core device plugins: checking type no longer necessary.
- The "non-plugin" mode now also uses the "loadtype" member of plugin_t.
TODO: Change PCI slot options to bx_param_enum_c and build the choices list
using the new capabilities of the plugin API.
- Disable port "options" parameter after successful connect. While connected,
a device may install runtime options to control it's behaviour.
- Added enable handlers for the "options" parameter to ensure an attempt to
change the device while connected doesn't enable it.
- Some related code cleanups.
- Changed some bx_param_c member types and related code to bool.
- Added bx_param_string_c method get_enable_handler() for the use in gui dialog
dependency processing.
- Call the enable_handler (if present) when processing dependent list in the wx
and win32 ParamDialog code.
device handling. Added some code to handle plugins that provide more than one
device type (usb_hid, usb_msd) or with different name (usb_cbi). The device
type member is now only used by multi-function devices.
- USB hub: disable device "options" parameter if device is set to "none".
- USB hub: handle device disconnect in runtime_config().
- Removed handling of USB device type in host controllers and external hub.
- Fixed USB devices list by adding a terminating NULL entry.
- Disable USB device options parameter if device is set to "none".
- Related documentation updates.
- Moved main option from the portX parameter to the optionsX parameter. Added
new option "path" for the disk, cdrom and floppy devices, "ports" for the
USB hub and "file" for the USB printer. The legacy syntax is still supported.
- Register USB device state after init() to ensure all options that may have
effect on the save/restore list are applied.
- Report available devices on top of log file similar to hdimage, network and
sound modules.
- Changed USB device type variable typein host controllers to int.
- Prepared improved usbdev_ctl init / exit implementation.
- TODO: Create list of USB devices dynamicly from available plugins.
- Fixed loading of all plugins with one type using wildcard.
- Reduced maximum length of line when listing available modules for hdimage,
network and sound.
hardcoded one. In plugins mode now all plugins with PLUGTYPE_GUI can be used.
Added similar code for the case plugins are disabled. The macros
PLUG_get_plugins_count() and PLUG_get_plugin_name() can be used in both cases.
- BXRS_PARAM_BOOL macro should be used for bool type members only.
- Fixed usage of wrong BXRS macro for numeric member in usb_hid.cc.
- New PCI parameter "advopts" must be saved in config.
- FIXME: Bochs hangs at startup in restore mode.
- Added special mode to all plugin entry functions that returns the plugin type.
- The plugins search function now temporarily loads all available plugins and
reads the plugin type using the new mode PLUGIN_PROBE.
- Added "loadtype" to the plugin structure to store the type used for plugin
loading (currently only the voodoo plugin provides two types).
module code. Sound driver names are now stored as string constants instead
of hardcoded values. Available modules are detected at Bochs startup and stored
in a string array before initializing options. In the plugins case available
modules are read from the plugins list. If plugins are off, the registry of
bx_sound_lowlevel_c is used. Related changes similar to the hdimage and
network modifications.
handling. Networking module names are now stored as string constants instead of
hardcoded values. Available modules are detected at Bochs startup and stored in
a string array before initializing options. In the plugins case available
modules are read from the plugins list. If plugins are off, the eth_locator_c
registry is used. Related changes in all parts of Bochs that need the
networking stuff.
TODO #1: Sound drivers could be handled in a similar way.
- bx_shadow_bool_c: removed unused bitnum feature and changed data type.
- Changed return type of memory handlers to bool.
- Modified virtual timer, PIC and PIT code.
