- TODO: add save/restore support, use Bochs function for host to little endian
data conversion, timers of networking modules 'vnet' and 'slirp' should use
the device speed instead of fixed 10 MBit
and the supported ethernet modules
- renamed eth.* files to netmod.*
- pseudo-device plugin implementation similar to 'soundmod'
- TODO: move sound, net and usb stuff to a separate subdirectory of iodev
duplicate log prefixes on Windows if both IDE and USB cdroms are used in plugin mode. Windows also
requires the cdrom base class and the init_cdrom() method to link and work correctly.
support compiles and links fine and the main object files for the plugin DLLs
are created. Since the gui and iodev makefiles are not ready yet, the link
stage must be done manually. Support for the search path defined in
LTDL_LIBRARY_PATH should be added when the DLL plugins compile and work.
* moved runtime handlers for cdrom from config.cc to the device object
* cd media status variable is now always of type bx_bool
* changed obsolete gui names like "cdromD" to "cdrom1"
* TODO: implement new runtime config mechanism similar to USB
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
* 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)
the SF patch #1539417, but rewritten from scratch (patch too old). Differences
to the original version:
* internal parameter name "readonly"
* update parameter if floppy image is readonly
* wxWidgets support
* documentation updates
* no specific toolbar buttons
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
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
* 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()
* the "init" and "fini" functions of different user plugins can always have
the same name (tested on Linux and Windows)
* make sure that a plugin cannot be loaded twice
* fixed check for the presence of the "fini" function
* TODO: configuration and load mechanism for user plugins
Make save/restore default feature, the configure option for save/restore removed from configure script and save/restore made available forever. All code now assume it is exists. Bochs save/restore tree previosly called "save_restore" renamed to "bochs" tree and it will be havily used everywhere, starting from save/restore and ending by various bochs debugger functions. I am going to rework debugger code to get rid of debug CPU access functions and use this "bochs" param tree instead
The connection status is now only controlled by the USB port options (TODO:
device change support at runtime)
- a connected USB mouse now has the priority when sending mouse data from the
gui to the emulated mouse device.
done by the object destructor (changes in cmos, hard drive and keyboard)
- bx_unload_plugins() now deletes the devmodel object in non-plugin mode
- CMOS device now prints the time on exit in human-readable format
- added exit() method to the devmodel object for devices that need to do special
cleanups on exit. Device plugins should call this method from their plugin_fini()
function. If Bochs is compiled without plugin support, for non-core plugins
the exit() method is called directly from bx_unload_plugins().
- exit() method implemented in the keyboard device
- wx "Show Keyboard" feature now only appear when the wxdebug keyboard subtree
is not empty
- cpu cleanup must be done before the devices cleanup
- moved PCI chipset dump call to the devices exit method
