- Common hdimage code, lowlevel cdrom code and the classes for the Bochs "own"
image modes (e.g. flat, sparse, growing") are now a part of the Bochs core.
- All classes for image modes present in separate files are now built as
plugins with the same self register mechanism as network, sound and usb
modules. Defined new plugin type PLUGTYPE_HDIMAGE.
- Temporarily disabled the base image format detection of the undoable/volatile
modes for the "external" modes in the plugins case.
- TODO: Bochs should know about all of the available plugins and their
capabilities right after startup, but before the configuration stage.
- Added buffer for maximum 16 key events.
- PS/2 keyboard now sets the changed indicators only.
- Added support for the yellow status indicator in the win32 gui.
- Added HID code for the menu key.
- Added support for the yellow status indicator in the rfb and vncsrv guis.
- Cleaned up status indicator code in SDL, SDL2 and X guis.
- Unified USB keyboard and keypad code. Removed the keypad lookup table.
- Moved keyboard indicator stuff to the devices code and use it for both the
USB and legacy keyboard device. In the USB case a different color is used.
- In the SDL, SDL2 and X guis added new status indicator color yellow. It is
designed to be used by the USB keyboard (write flag 1 and "auto_off" flag 0).
- Added missing sysmbol to the German X11 keymap table.
TODO #1; Add some missing HID key codes.
TODO #2: Add key event queue to avoid losing events.
TODO #3: Unify keyboard and keypad code.
TODO #4: Support multiple non-modifier keys pressed at the same time.
TODO #5: Share keyboard indicators with the legacy PS/2 keyboard.
- Added NUMLOCK to the table of supported keys.
- Temporarily added status bar item for the keypad NUMLOCK indicator.
- TODO: Add new HID device "keyboard" with all keys supported.
- Added new devices method register_default_keyboard() and handle keyboard
events similar to the mouse stuff.
- Prepared removable keyboard support for the "paste bytes" feature.
- Store keyboard type in device object to avoid reading parameter at runtime.
- Related code cleanups.
- TODO #1: Extend USB keypad to full featured keyboard.
- TODO #2: Paste bytes support for USB keyboard.
- Always apply the A20 setting to the requested address.
- Fixed the conditions for SMRAM access.
- Added support for memory handlers and removed direct VGA memory access.
- Added support for reading from BIOS flash memory.
It creates an array of strings from a string containing a comma separated list
of options. Now using this function for display library options, USB port
options and ROM image options.
is mapped to device number #2, but for the i440BX chipset we are using #8
(expected by real BIOS when testing and some timer later added support for it
in Bochs BIOS).
The latest release is from 2001 and it will not work on modern Linux systems.
Parts of the SVGALib code have been moved to the Linux kernel and the X11 and
SDL libraries are using it as a video driver.
- Now cursor can appear in two different modes (if supported by terminal)
- Simplified text cursor handling.
- Show a status bar if terminal has enough lines for it. Added "show IPS" output
there unless display library option "hideIPS" is used.
- Reading data register without result present returns the last byte of the
previous result and enters result phase just like an invalid command.
- Changed name of bit #7 of MSR to RQM (from spec) and some small cleanups.
- The X gui behaviour should be unchanged.
- RFB / vncsrv: cursor shape fixes.
- Changed format of the font parameters to fix "double width" characters.
- Restore guest charmap after leaving gui console.
- Now using text_update_common() for the new text update API in addition to the
graphical text snapshot feature.
- Drawing to snapshot buffer moved to new method draw_char_common().
- A gui using the new text update API only needs to implement the new method
draw_char(). The method set_font() is optional and it can be used to update
font bitmaps / pixmaps.
- Modified the RFB gui to use the new API. Now the VGA features split screen
and h/v pel panning are supported by the RFB gui. The legacy text_update()
method is now empty but it must be present for compatiblity.
- TODO: Implement new API in some other guis to reduce code duplication.
the flashrom project a JEDEC chip needs to be emulated here. Tests with BIOS
images designed for the i440FX chipset are okay, but for the i440BX chipset
some more commands need to implemented.
- Store BIOS ROM start address and use it instead of hardcoded BIOS_MASK.
- Added stub for BIOS ROM access switches.
- Verify checksum of legacy Bochs BIOS, too.
selected PCI chipset. When testing Bochs with a real BIOS image the programming
sequence for the ESCD unexpectedly overwrites some BIOS locations and it fails
to reboot. For the i440BX AGP chipset development it is required to test with
a real BIOS image, but currently reporting "unknown flash type". For now I have
added two stubs with unmodified behaviour.
- Access to VGA registers via Banshee address space is not memory mapped.
- Added BX_ERRORs for unimplemented unaligned access to i/o registers.
- Access to the unimplemented YUV address space now causes BX_ERROR.
- Removed some TODO comments.
