The format of the 'ethdev' string must be 'host:port' to use this feature.
Using the port number only for connecting 'bxhub' on the same machine is still
supported.
- Small changes to avoid crash after failure.
- Several cleanups in the socket mode.
- Fixed reporting active mode after init is done.
- Reporting sent/received byte with BX_DEBUG.
- The 'vnet' module now uses the 'script' parameter for an alternative log
file name.
- Renamed log file names in some networking modules (replaced 'ne2k' by a name
related to the module name).
- Documentation updates (networking stuff and cmosimage).
- Increase maximum number of Bochs client sessions to 6.
- Define bx_devmodel_c to 'void' for the bxhub case to simplify netmod code.
- Minor cleanups in bxhub and related vnet code.
- According to the specs masked edge-sensitive IRQs are not held pending.
- Print BX_DEBUG message in set_irq_level() only in case of level change to
avoid flooding log file.
- eth_socket.cc: Added missing winsock init.
- bxhub.cc: Added missing CDECL macro to the signal handler.
- Added some definitions for non-Windows platforms similar to the serial and
rfb code.
- bxhub.cc: Put all client data in a structure and added send_packet() function.
- bxhub.cc: Added SVN ID line.
- netmod.cc: Changed some DHCP messages to BX_DEBUG.
- eth_socket.cc: Minor cleanups.
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.
- Builtin sound driver plugin support should depend on BX_SUPPORT_SOUNDLOW.
- Added some symbols required for the MSVC plugin of sound driver "file".
- Clean up threads and audio buffers only when shutting down the primary sound
driver (pcm_callback_id >= 0). Fixes crash on exit with wavemode 3.
- 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.
- Changed the name of the entry point of the gui plugin code to
lib{gui_name}_gui_plugin_init(). It is used when loading plugin with the new
type. Added gui init code for the non-plugin version in plugin.cc.
- Some related changes for the "wx" case.
- The function load_and_init_display_lib() now only returns 1 on success.
- Minor other changes.
Prepared "biosdetect" option in the harddrv code.
TODO #1: Add support for a comma-separated list of BIOS options.
TODO #2: Implement support for at least "biosdetect=none" in the Bochs BIOS.
configuration, loading images). Cleaned up "romimage" option parsing and
prepared parameter "options" for the behaviour of the Bochs BIOS.
TODO: implement BIOS option "fastboot" to skip the boot menu prompt.
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.
