The timers now have a new member 'realtime' and they are driven by the
selected engine. The VGA update timer and the status LED timer now always use
the realtime mode, but the PIT and CMOS RTC depend on the clock options.
TODO: improve virtual timer to make operate in both modes at the same time.
The vga update code should always use the realtime mode and the pit timing
should depend on the clock option.
Notes by Ben:
This emulates a NEC/Renesas uPD720202 2-port (2 socket, 4-port register sets)
Root Hub xHCI Host Controller.
Many, many thanks to Renesas for their work and effort in helping my research.
I have tested in with my own tests and WinXP Home Edition SP3.
Use port1 and port2 to emulate a Super-speed device, and use port3 and port4
to emulate Low-, Full-, or High-speed devices.
NOTE: The Windows driver for this device uses a proprietary detection
mechanism and we don't have the permission to implement it. That's why it only
works fine with non-Windows guests.
- removed max_packet_size member from USB device structure
- usb_uhci: improved speed info
- updated USB-related documentation
- TODO: review and test the main part of the xHCI changes by Ben
the init code. Started with the SeeReg[] array values. Some other setting could
be added later. The parser code is based on the slirp config parser.
Slirp: fixed possible segfault if the value for a parameter is missing.
- added new symbol BX_WITH_SDL2 and prepared build system
- TODO #1: add new option --with-sdl2 to configure script
- TODO #2: add new file sdl2.cc (porting seems hard to do - writing from scratch
might be better)
- embedding combined manifest makes BOCHS.EXE usable
- list of DLL plugins now depends on the pci and debugger options
- 'make clean' now removes the generated manifest files
- renamed variable for external rules
- documentation update
complete and usable with the BOCHS.EXE built with the IDE.
TODO #1: fix BOCHS.EXE built with nmake (manifest issue)
TODO #2: make the currently fixed DLL plugin list variable
sections. A better solution must be found for the basic set of device plugins
in iodev that don't require special rules.
Switched back to the original gui macro naming for linking plugins.
rules can be built now (keyboard, pit, gameport, serial, vga, svga_cirrus,
hdimage, netmod, soundmod, usb_common). The generated DLLs are usable with the
BOCHS.EXE built with the IDE, but the nmake won't work at all yet.
(bx_hdimage.dll) can be built now. All plugins that require special rules
could be fixed for nmake in a similar way.
TODO: find a way to compile plugins with standard rules (GNU make uses bx_%.dll
in that case, but MSVC nmake doesn't support this syntax).
required an external binary and it couldn't be ported to Windows. Now the new
builtin and portable slirp support based on Qemu's implementation is almost
stable and all the 'vnet' DHCP and TFTP features have been ported to the new
slirp module.
TODO: rename all the "slirp_new" stuff to "slirp"
- removed obsolete local variables that made the hostname and bootfile options fail
- store requested hostname as a string to simplify the code
- check free space while processing the parameter list
- setting the max. DHCP message size is not supported yet (send error to log)
