- bx_shadow_bool_c: removed unused bitnum feature and changed data type.
- Changed return type of memory handlers to bool.
- Modified virtual timer, PIC and PIT code.
plugin_entry(). The additional boolean argument "init" is used to select the
requested action. The entry points still have unique names for compatibility
with the "non-plugin" compilation. Added macros for setting up these names
(e.g. PLUGIN_ENTRY_FOR_MODULE for device plugins).
- Fixed ne2k parameter save function.
- For backward compatibility, card #0 defaults to PCI if the ne2k is assigned
to at least one PCI slot.
- The "bootrom" parameter is only valid for the PCI card type.
old SF patches this solution is compatible with the plugin architecture. The
ne2k plugin is loaded only once and a new ne2k_main_c object creates up to 4
ne2k device objects depending on the config. The new ne2k parameter "card"
specifies the zero-based card number to configure. If not given, the default
is card #0 for compatibility. The new ne2k parameter "type" specifies the bus
it is connected to ("isa" or "pci"). Card #0 defaults to PCI, the others to
ISA. In the PCI slot configuration the ne2k device can be used multiple times
if more than one card is configured.
Related changes:
- removed SMF stuff for ne2k
- always convert device prefix to uppercase (ne2k uses NE2K0 ... NE2K3)
- removed unused BXPN values
- TODO: add multiple NICs support for the E1000
- Added INT pin init to method init_pci_conf().
- Moved readonly register handling to the common PCI write handler.
- Moved IRQ line reporting to the common PCI write handler.
- Added new structure bx_pci_bar_t that contains all parameters related to the
PCI BARs (type, size, address and r/w handlers).
- Added new methods init_bar_io() and init_bar_mem() to set up the new structure
in the pci device init code.
- Added new method pci_write_handler_common() to handle writes to the normal
BARs and the ROM BAR. Writes to other registers are forwarded to the device
specific PCI write handlers. Removed BAR and ROM BAR handling from the
specific code.
- Added new method pci_bar_change_notify() to execute specific code after BAR
update (vga, ne2k).
- Moved normal BAR handling to method after_restore_pci_state().
- Store pointer to PCI device name in bx_pci_device_c and use it for i/o setup.
- Added support for setting memory write handler to NULL (ROM case).
- Added new PCI device method after_restore_pci_state(). It currently handles
the PCI ROM case only (could be extended).
- Since the pci_read_handler() method is identical in most devices, move it
to the base class to reduce code duplication. Only the 'pcidev' device has
it's own implementation (NOTE: it is not maintained yet).
- Minor other fixes and cleanups in some PCI devices.
- bx_param_string_c method isempty() didn't work for raw byte strings. Now using
it to check whether or not the current value matches the initial one. The
parameter handling of the network adapters now use this method to check if
the MAC address is already initialized to avoid incorrect BX_ERRORs.
- small documentation update
usb device plugins. Loading the plugin means that the user wants to enable it.
Disabling the device on the command line and in the config interface is still
possible.
- isempty() returns 1 if string length is 0 or string has special value "none"
- sprint() copies the formatted / converted string into a buffer
- use new methods in some parts of the code (TODO: win32 dialogs)
- check for the special value "none" to avoid failures
- fixed bochsrc line after a "raw byte" string parameter
- changed parameter name "macaddr" to "mac" (same as bochsrc option parameter)
- skip disabled parameters when building the bochsrc line
- added "multiline" switch to select the output format (one or multiple lines)
- renamed siminterface method and use it in the network devices code
- renamed config parameter "i440fx_support" to "enabled"
- new config parameter "chipset" added (current choices "i430FX" and "i440FX")
- don't load ACPI support if the i430FX chipset is selected
- select register values for the core PCI devices depending on the chipset
- USB UHCI must be connected to a PCI slot if the i430FX chipset is used
- rombios changes to make the i430FX chipset work
- TODO #1: implement limitation to 1 cpu and 128 MB RAM for the i430FX chipset
- TODO #2: verify register behaviour of both chipsets
- SIM->opt_plugin_ctrl() now can be used to verify the optional plugin
configuration when using the plugin name "*". The 'load' value 1 makes
sure that all plugins with the value 1 are loaded. The 'load' value 0
unloads all plugin with the value 0 (marked for removal).
- add the default set of plugins to the 'plugin_ctrl' list and load all these
pre-defined optional plugins before parsing the configuration.
- special wx case: verify plugin configuration before showing the plugin
control dialog and before initialising hardware.
- device plugins that have been loaded, but not configured now set their
plugin control value to 0. Added the plugin unload check before signalling reset.
- ne2k: replaced debugger command 'info ne2k' completely by a new version based
on 'info device' with additional arguments and removed all of the now obsolete
stuff (ne2k device stub, macro for print_info())
- pci: added option 'dump=full' for the debugger command 'info device' to show
the whole PCI config space
- TODO: some other devices could have support for additional options in
debug_dump()
- removed FILE parameter from print_info() (unused - since dbg_printf() doesn't
need it)
- converted tabs to spaces
- TODO: implement 'info device' with optional arguments to get rid of the
print_info() method
