with the host time. After using a runtime config dialog or save and restore
simulation, this behaviour makes the PIT clock and the VGA update timer
running way too fast until it's back in sync. Now the elapsed time is stored
in the variable 'real_time_delay' and it is used to let the PIT clock run at
realtime speed, even if it is out of sync.
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
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.
DAC2 is sent to the lowlevel sound module. DAC1 and sound input (ADC) are not
yet supported. Also unsupported: CODEC (mixer), UART (MIDI) and legacy support.
Sound module selection in configure script now no longer depends on SB16 and
uses autodetection only.
- fixed segfault when saving bochsrc
--enable-vbe is now deprecated and the symbols BX_SUPPORT_VBE and
BX_SUPPORT_PCIVGA have been removed. To enable VBE support, the bochsrc option
"vga: extension=" must be set to "vbe". If PCI is present, you can assign the
"pcivga" device to a PCI slot.
* 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)
keyboard and usb_hid code to use them
- removed keyboard handling from the USB host controller code
- removed no longer needed USB stubs from the devices code
- converted removable mouse variables to a structure
* 'usb_uhci' bochsrc option replaces 'usb1'
* minor changes in the USB code
* removed old VBE i/o port registration (they were incompatible with USB)
* updated FSF address
- fixed saving user plugin options
by Ben Lunt will be tested and merged soon)
- renamed specific pciusb stuff to 'usb_uhci' (files, objects)
- minor USB-related changes
- TODO: changes in siminterface and bochsrc options
bochsrc option (e.g. biosdev, speaker, gameport)
* the "unmapped device" is now an optional plugin, the builtin default handlers
no longer cause panics
* speaker stub calls the related gui methods for beep on/off
* load all optional plugins before starting init of core plugins
* initialize plugin system before parsing bochsrc and command line
* pass previous value to bx_param_string_c handler
* load / unload plugin in bx_param_string_handler()
* handle user plugins after optional ones in plugin device init, reset and
save/restore functions
* added new siminterface method unregister_user_option()
* removed first version of config option handling for user plugins
* added new parameter subtree for user-defined options
* added new bx_list_c method remove()
* removed unused bx_devmodel_c method init_mem()
