- Created framework based on our I/O APIC code and ported HPET core from Qemu
with some required changes for the Bochs timer and IRQ handling.
- Enabled HPET-specific code in the ACPI and rombios32 sources and generated
new ACPI table with iasl.
- The HPET device plugin is now always loaded if the i440FX chipset is selected
(same as ACPI). We have to rethink this when we have implemented a more
modern chipset.
- TODO: Rewrite of the virtual timer code for nanosecond support to make the
realtime synchronization possible with HPET.
- Added warnings for currently not maintained features in the configure script,
the bochsrc sample and the user doc.
- Removed detection of deprecated bochsrc options "i440fxsupport" and
"vga_update_interval".
- Legacy bochsrc option "user_shortcut" is now deprecated.
- Removed deprecated configure option --enable-misaligned-sse from user doc.
- Updated some TODO items.
- Makefile: cleanup of the 'clean' target (adds missing 'bxhub').
- configure script: create cpudb subdirectories if necessary for building
outside of the source tree.
- cpudb Makefile: clean object files from new location.
- Removed "pseudo device plugin" containing common code and specific drivers.
- Moved network module base classes and module handling to the Bochs core.
Now loading network driver plugins in netmod.cc.
- Moved shared networking code used by the 'vnet' driver and 'bxhub' from
netmod.cc/.h to new files netutil.cc/.h.
- Created separate plugins for each network driver implementation.
- Modified Bochs plugin system to support new plugin type PLUGTYPE_NETWORK.
external program 'bxhub' (simulating a two port ethernet hub). It is based on
an old SF patch and it has been updated and extended:
- Windows support (tested with MinGW/MSYS and MSVC nmake).
- Command line arguments for 'bxhub' (base port number, MAC address, TFTP).
- Added support for DHCP, TFTP, ARP and ICMP echo (ping). It uses parts of the
code for the 'vnet' module with some additions from the former "slirp backend".
- TODO: code cleanup to reduce duplication, rewrite of the networking plugins
stuff similar to the work done with the sound drivers.
- Renamed OSS sound driver files from soundlnx.cc/.h to soundoss.cc/.h.
- Removed "pseudo device plugin" containing common code and specific drivers.
- Moved common sound code, base classes of sound drivers and the dummy driver
to the Bochs core. Now loading sound driver plugins in soundmod.cc.
- Created separate plugins for the platform/library specific drivers and the
"file" driver.
- Modified Bochs plugin system to support now plugin type PLUGTYPE_SOUND.
either libsamplerate or the SoX resampler library installed. If not installed,
the data is only copied to the output buffer and sample rate of the output
driver is changed similar to legacy code. Related changes:
- Added check for libsamplerate or SoX resampler header files in configure
script.
- Added functions for converting source format to float (requied by resampler)
and float to output format.
- Added support for float type data in the audio buffer code. Buffer chain #0
receives float data from sendwavepacket() and buffer #1 receives data for
mixing and output in format "16-bit signed little endian stereo".
- ALSA: Disable builtin resampling feature if resampler is present to avoid
doing it twice.
- added Android case to the configure script.
- renamed file memory.h to memory-bochs.h to fix conflict with NDK.
- fixed Android issues in some files.
almost implemented, the port owner handling and the UHCI companion controllers
are present. High speed devices are not yet supported, since the EHCI scheduler
code has not been written yet (e.g. porting from Qemu). Low and full speed
devices should be detected correctly and work after port ownership change to
UHCI. 6 ports are available and the bochsrc syntax is similar to other HCs.
emulation and usb_uhci.cc implements the setup for the PIIX3 chipset and the
runtime device change code. The UHCI core is required for the EHCI emulation,
since there can be multiple "companion" controllers for USB 1.1 device handling.
by Ben Lunt. To connect a USB floppy you can use the 'floppy' device with the
path to the image separated with a colon. VVFAT is also supported.
FIXME: The device detection fails on some recent Linux distributions.
FIXME: Only 1.44M media format is currently supported.
TODO: Media change without disconnect is not implemented yet.
VS2013 nmake. In addition to this change in the Bochs code, the environment
variables for the command prompt need to be modified this way:
===
set INCLUDE=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\7.1A\Include;%INCLUDE%
set PATH=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\7.1A\Bin;%PATH%
set LIB=%ProgramFiles(x86)%\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\7.1A\Lib;%LIB%
set CL=/D_USING_V110_SDK71_;%CL%

implemented important CPU statistics which were used for Bochs CPU model performance analysis.
old statistics code from paging.cc and cpu.cc is replaced with new infrastructure.
In order to enale statitics collection in Bochs CPU:
- Enable statistics @ compilation time in cpu/cpustats.h
- Dump statistics periodically by adding -dumpstats N into Bochs command line
