0d49d2a8df Added 'flash_data' parameter to the romimage option.
This parameter defines the file name for the flash BIOS config space loaded
startup if existing and saved on exit if modified. The Bochs BIOS doesn't
use this feature yet. Updated 'romimage' option documentation.

caf52aacac Added advanced PCI option 'noagp' for the i440BX chipset.
Since AGP support is incomplete, it may be useful to disable this subsystem.

28b280c4bc Added display library option for disabling the Bochs gui console - using system
console / xterm instead (rfb, sdl, sdl2, vncsrv, x).

74deb16b44 Since externally developed optional device plugins (AKA "user plugins") can be
loaded in bochsrc with "plugin_ctrl" or with their own name, the user plugin
option and the special cases for PLUGTYPE_USER are no longer needed. Updated
example patch to make it work with the latest SVN code.

38a04afe8e Some work on the bximage utility.
- The selected / detected disk image mode is now stored as a string constant to
  simplify code (same as Bochs core).
- Changed command line option to select operation mode to "-func=X" to avoid
  confusion with disk image mode.
- Documentation updates.

7c8748a661 Removed stub for the "external" disk image mode. It was designed for
implementing disk image support with an external C++ class. With the new code
it's now easier to implement support for additional disk images formats, so we
don't need the old stub anymore.

e187f3907a Removed Voodoo realtime option. Since the gui screen update timing is now
controlled by the 'vga' option and Voodoo2 CMDFIFO thread has the best
performance with realtime mode disabled, this option is now obsolete.

8b96faf99e Some work on the timing code of the Bochs display adapters.
- Voodoo: Use the VGA/Cirrus timers to drive the gui screen update.
  The vertical retrace emulation is still driven by a separate timer.
- VGA/Cirrus: Since we are using the virtual timer, we also have to read
  time_usec() from it.
- vgacore: removed unused timer methods.
2017-05-01 11:54:12 +00:00
Volker Ruppert
d462e52a9d Implemented 'realtime' option for the Voodoo update timer similar to the VGA

a037c74071 Added support for connecting the 'bxhub' utility running on another machine.
The format of the 'ethdev' string must be 'host:port' to use this feature.
Using the port number only for connecting 'bxhub' on the same machine is still
supported.

e08024f6a1 Some work on the networking modules and documentation.

  file name.
- Renamed log file names in some networking modules (replaced 'ne2k' by a name
  related to the module name).
- Documentation updates (networking stuff and cmosimage).
