- use this feature for floppy read and write operations. This does not mean that
the floppy now works faster than realtime, but it reduces the number of DMA
calls from the CPU.
- removed outdated file: patch.fast-dma-cbothamy
- TODO: implement this feature in the SB16 (8 and 16 bit)
- new gui method set_mouse_mode_absxy() should switch the gui to absolute
x/y mode
- new DEV_mouse_motion() argument 'absxy' indicates whether or not the gui
sends absolute x/y values
- USB tablet code prepared to use the new feature
- TODO: implement this feature for each gui (sdl, win32, wx, x, ...)
- ne2k: replaced debugger command 'info ne2k' completely by a new version based
on 'info device' with additional arguments and removed all of the now obsolete
stuff (ne2k device stub, macro for print_info())
- pci: added option 'dump=full' for the debugger command 'info device' to show
the whole PCI config space
- TODO: some other devices could have support for additional options in
debug_dump()
- removed FILE parameter from print_info() (unused - since dbg_printf() doesn't
need it)
- converted tabs to spaces
- TODO: implement 'info device' with optional arguments to get rid of the
print_info() method
- changed argument for the text mode info structure to a pointer
- added attribute controller palette to bx_vga_tminfo_t and removed the
previous implementation
- carbon.cc: attempt to fix the text mode colors (untested)
- x.cc: fixed warnings
- store memory type array in the memory object to avoid calling the pci plugin
frequently. The pci code calls a memory method to change the memory type in
case the PAM registers are modified.
- removed now obsolete code and minor cleanups
plugin system.The load order is important for these devices!
- load support plugins for networking, sound and usb only if at least one of the
related plugin devices is loaded.
- plugin_ctrl: added missing devices to the list in bochsrc sample
option parsing to the plugin device code
- added function bx_init_usb_options() to reduce code duplication
- added log function names for 'usb_ohci' and 'usb_uhci'
- documentation updates
the device code. Added panic message to force the user to enable the plugin
with 'plugin_ctrl'.
- moved config parameter creation and bochsrc option parsing for device
'usb_xhci' to the plugin device code
- added minimal documentation for the "log action per device" feature
- added log function name for 'usb_xhci'
For now it returns a flag that indicated that the device can receive data
from the eth module and flags for the device speed. TODO: Use this callback
in the eth modules before sending data to the device.
memcpy(). The reason for the failure is unknown. Using writePhysicalPage()
is safe, but slower and it only works on little endian hosts. On big endian
hosts the data block would be copied in reverse order. We have to check
whether or not this behaviour is expected for blocks > 8 bytes.
and the supported ethernet modules
- renamed eth.* files to netmod.*
- pseudo-device plugin implementation similar to 'soundmod'
- TODO: move sound, net and usb stuff to a separate subdirectory of iodev
duplicate log prefixes on Windows if both IDE and USB cdroms are used in plugin mode. Windows also
requires the cdrom base class and the init_cdrom() method to link and work correctly.
Sebastian Herbszt). TODO list:
- modify LGPL'd VGABIOS to make it work with SeaBIOS
- modify Bochs BIOS to set up the legacy address 0xc0000
- implement PCI ROM support in the cirrus device
- move load_ROM calls to the display adapter code to handle the ISA case
* moved runtime handlers for cdrom from config.cc to the device object
* cd media status variable is now always of type bx_bool
* changed obsolete gui names like "cdromD" to "cdrom1"
* TODO: implement new runtime config mechanism similar to USB
The ACPI support is always automatically compiled in if PCI is compiled in.
The ACPI still could be disabled using .bochsrc 'plugin_ctrl' option.
Updated CHANGES and docs as well.
connected device. For now this feature is only used by the 'disk' device to
specify an alternative redolog filename of some image modes.
- added new methods set_option() and timer() to the base class usb_device_c.
The timer() method is periodicly called from the HC's frame timer code.
- moved runtime device change stuff from the parameter handler to the end of
timer() methods of all hubs. This makes sure that all parameters for the
device have been set at connect time. TODO: this technique could also be used
for the floppy and cdrom media change.
* added new "pseudo device" for the USB device control (init, send message)
* moved register_state() call from the hubs to the common device init code
- fixed unresolved symbols in usb_msd code
code and the generic USB stuff. Up to now, in plugin mode each host controller
staticly links all this stuff with the plugin library. So it existed twice and
e.g. it wasn't possible to create a unique serial number for disks/cdroms
connected to different HCs. Some other sanity checks could be added now, too.
- Added a register mechanism for the USB device init function in the main
devices code.
- TODO: Some other device plugins could be fixed the same way: network devices
(sharing ethernet modules), harddrive & usb_msd (sharing hdimage and
cdrom)
the SF patch #1539417, but rewritten from scratch (patch too old). Differences
to the original version:
* internal parameter name "readonly"
* update parameter if floppy image is readonly
* wxWidgets support
* documentation updates
* no specific toolbar buttons
