- Now using the new VBE read and write apertures when setting the banks for
full scrolling support.
- Added TTY support flags for all 8-bpp VBE mode entries.
mode sets both banks to the same value. Reading VBE bank register always
returns the write aperture setting. This feature is designed for the scrolling
function of the VBE 'write character' support. VBE code should use compatibility
mode for now.
TODO: update VGABIOS to use this feature.
- Bochs VBE: enable 32k bank granularity mode.
- Fixed general 'scroll down' bug in graphics modes.
- Code optimizations: some VBE and VGA functions rewritten in assembler.
- VBE enable register returns 32k granularity flag if enabled.
- VBE bank register returns 32k granularity flag if VBE_DISPI_GETCAPS is set.
- Defining new DISPI ID not necessary.
- TODO: update VGABIOS to use this feature.
- Banshee: added 'write character' support for 8 bpp modes.
- Banshee / Cirrus: report TTY support for 8 bpp VBE modes.
- FIXME: Banshee scroll code works for 'scroll up' only.
- TODO: TTY support for the Bochs VBE adapter.
- Limit VBE bank size to 64k as expected.
- Enabling VBE mode now clears the whole video memory for all bpp modes unless
"noclear" bit is set.
- Prepared 32k bank granularity mode required for text output functions. Added
new VBE_DISPI_ID6 to indicate this capability. The default is still 64k.
- Added new files with small changes, output can be viewed with Wireshark.
- FIXME: Windows ports crash with original Win98 guest and USB disk connected.
- TODO: mention new feature in documentation.
- Added initial version of the VGABIOS for Voodoo Banshee adapters.
- Several code optimizations to reduce binary size.
NOTE #1: Banshee version has no VBE support yet.
NOTE #2: Banshee binary uses PCI ID for Banshee PCI and Bochs temporarily
modifies the PCI data for Voodoo3 and AGP models.
- vgacore: method get_crtc_params() now returns selected video clock value.
- banshee: now using selected video clock instead of hardcoded VCLK #3.
- cirrus: added vertical frequency to mode switch BX_INFO.
- Moved setup of default i/o register values to reset().
- Set up strapInfo register bits in init().
- Don't overwrite readonly bits in miscInit1 register.
- Set up subsystem ID in VGABIOS ROM in case it's > 32k (doesn't exist yet).
- Copy subsystem ID from ROM to PCI config registers in reset().
- Added helper function get_floppy_devtype_from_type().
- The floppy type option now accepts the value "none".
- Added parameter handler for "devtype" to handle the BX_FDD_NONE case.
- Cleaned up floppy options parser code.
"none" the dependent parameters cannot be set. That's why the bochsrc parser
needs to set device type first.
- Set initial device type of first floppy to '3.5" 1.44M'.
- Detect device type along with image type if necessary.
- TODO: fixes for media types like "1_44" and some more cleanup.
cannot unload itself, BX_UNREGISTER_DEVICE_DEVMODEL() call will fail. Setting
plugin control flag to 0 like other devices do. When starting simulation, all
unused plugins are removed.
NOTE: The pcidev stuff is unmaintained, functionality not tested.
- Bochs for wxMSW: fixed duplicate value caused by manifest.
- Bochs for wxMSW: fixed resource file dependencies.
- Include gui debugger resources only when enabled.
It has been compiled and tested on Linux, with MinGW/MSYS and MSVC nmake.
TODO: Check whether or not the config interface choice "win32config" can be
a plugin, too. Possibly add a new plugin type for config interfaces.
interface to textconfig if the selected gui has a builtin console in
SIM->set_init_done(). This is required on Windows for the rfb and vncsrv guis.
Cleaned up the textconfig code.
plugin is possible now. Added new functions text_print() and text_ask() in
textconfig.cc to replace related methods of bx_param_c classes. Removed a now
obsolete comment section in siminterface.h.
- Don't include paramtree.h in siminterface.h to get rid of duplicates
in a lot of Makefile dependency lines.
- Regenerated Makefile dependencies in iodev and affected subdirectories.
- FIXME #1: including debug.h causes duplicate entries of config.h and osdep.h.
- FIXME #2: cpudb.h appears in most of the iodev* dependencies, but only needed
by config.cc and the cpu class.
- Moved serial and parallel config parameter list creation to the corresponding
device code.
- Unregister serial and parallel bochsrc options in PLUGIN_FINI mode.
- Moved USB config and runtime parameter list creation to bx_init_usb_options().
- textconfig.cc: Small fixes in the optional plugin control.
- Changed variable type of the plugin_t "type" member from enum to Bit16u.
- Added support for returning device flags with the new mode PLUGIN_FLAGS in
the plugin entry functions. It is currently only used for devices that can
be connected to a PCI slot.
- Code cleanup in core device plugins: checking type no longer necessary.
- The "non-plugin" mode now also uses the "loadtype" member of plugin_t.
TODO: Change PCI slot options to bx_param_enum_c and build the choices list
using the new capabilities of the plugin API.
- Disable port "options" parameter after successful connect. While connected,
a device may install runtime options to control it's behaviour.
- Added enable handlers for the "options" parameter to ensure an attempt to
change the device while connected doesn't enable it.
- Some related code cleanups.
- Changed some bx_param_c member types and related code to bool.
- Added bx_param_string_c method get_enable_handler() for the use in gui dialog
dependency processing.
- Call the enable_handler (if present) when processing dependent list in the wx
and win32 ParamDialog code.
device handling. Added some code to handle plugins that provide more than one
device type (usb_hid, usb_msd) or with different name (usb_cbi). The device
type member is now only used by multi-function devices.
- USB hub: disable device "options" parameter if device is set to "none".
- USB hub: handle device disconnect in runtime_config().
- Removed handling of USB device type in host controllers and external hub.
- Fixed USB devices list by adding a terminating NULL entry.
- Disable USB device options parameter if device is set to "none".
- Related documentation updates.
- Moved main option from the portX parameter to the optionsX parameter. Added
new option "path" for the disk, cdrom and floppy devices, "ports" for the
USB hub and "file" for the USB printer. The legacy syntax is still supported.
- Register USB device state after init() to ensure all options that may have
effect on the save/restore list are applied.
- Report available devices on top of log file similar to hdimage, network and
sound modules.
- Changed USB device type variable typein host controllers to int.
- Prepared improved usbdev_ctl init / exit implementation.
- TODO: Create list of USB devices dynamicly from available plugins.
- Fixed loading of all plugins with one type using wildcard.
- Reduced maximum length of line when listing available modules for hdimage,
network and sound.
hardcoded one. In plugins mode now all plugins with PLUGTYPE_GUI can be used.
Added similar code for the case plugins are disabled. The macros
PLUG_get_plugins_count() and PLUG_get_plugin_name() can be used in both cases.
- BXRS_PARAM_BOOL macro should be used for bool type members only.
- Fixed usage of wrong BXRS macro for numeric member in usb_hid.cc.
- New PCI parameter "advopts" must be saved in config.
- FIXME: Bochs hangs at startup in restore mode.
- Added special mode to all plugin entry functions that returns the plugin type.
- The plugins search function now temporarily loads all available plugins and
reads the plugin type using the new mode PLUGIN_PROBE.
- Added "loadtype" to the plugin structure to store the type used for plugin
loading (currently only the voodoo plugin provides two types).
module code. Sound driver names are now stored as string constants instead
of hardcoded values. Available modules are detected at Bochs startup and stored
in a string array before initializing options. In the plugins case available
modules are read from the plugins list. If plugins are off, the registry of
bx_sound_lowlevel_c is used. Related changes similar to the hdimage and
network modifications.
handling. Networking module names are now stored as string constants instead of
hardcoded values. Available modules are detected at Bochs startup and stored in
a string array before initializing options. In the plugins case available
modules are read from the plugins list. If plugins are off, the eth_locator_c
registry is used. Related changes in all parts of Bochs that need the
networking stuff.
TODO #1: Sound drivers could be handled in a similar way.
- 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.
* extract logfunctions class definition to separate include logio.h to simplify the bochs.h reading
next step: try to minimize amount of includes in bochs.h as everyone in Bochs includes it
for example it includes pc_system.h which is not necessary required to be included in all CPU source files
- CPU code refactor, remove uses of bx_bool datatype and use C++ classic bool instead.
This enable better compiler optimizations and reduce binary size
- Changing VGA extension to "voodoo" did not work in the config interface.
Moved plugin loading to the string parameter handler and added plugin
unloading case.
- Unloading "voodoo" VGA plugin resets pluginVgaDevice to stubVga.
- pluginUnregisterDeviceDevmodel() now supports core plugins.
- Some other small plugin related changes.
- Moved wx gui plugin entry point to wx.cc, so we can use the macro
PLUGIN_ENTRY_FOR_GUI_MODULE to be compatible with the other guis.
- Updated gui Makefile dependencies.
- Improved macro definitions for plugin entry points.
- Forward declarations of plugin entry points are only required when plugin
support is off.
- Improved panic message for the case when plugin entry point is not found.
loaded in bochsrc with "plugin_ctrl" or with their own name, the user plugin
option and the special cases for PLUGTYPE_USER are no longer needed. Updated
example patch to make it work with the latest SVN 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).
- Now that we know about all available plugins at startup, the bx_list_c object
"plugin_ctrl" contains a fixed number of bx_param_bool_c objects representing
the requested status (1 = load). It is verified at simulation startup.
- The config interface creates two text lists (textconfig) or list boxes (win32,
wx) from it to show the remaining available and the loaded plugins. Loading
and unloading is performed immediately and plugins may install / uninstall
options in other menus / dialogs.
- Modified the "non-plugin" code to make the optional plugin control work very
similar in this mode.
- bx_load_plugin() now returns the status of the operation.
- Plugin load failures are now correctly handled by the plugin code (unloading
if necessary, then panic).
- In case of cross compiling of the win32 gui, use the environment variable
WINDRES for the name of the resource compiler.
- Added example shortcut script for cross compiling on Linux for Windows.
- The selected / detected disk image mode is now stored as a string constant to
simplify code (same as Bochs core).
- Changed command line option to select operation mode to "-func=X" to avoid
confusion with disk image mode.
- Documentation updates.
- In plugin mode make sure all hdimage plugins are loaded for mode detection.
- Implemented image mode detection via hdimage_locator_c.
- TODO: use the new code for bximage, too.
- Added support for loading all plugins of one type using wildcard "*".
- Unloading no longer removes the plugin object. Now the member "loaded" is
set to 0 and the type of a device plugin is reset.
- Added plugin_cleanup() function to remove plugin objects on Bochs exit.
- Some other related cleanups in the plugins code.

it's now easier to implement support for additional disk images formats, so we
don't need the old stub anymore.
string constants instead of hardcoded values. Available modes are detected at
Bochs startup and stored in a string array before initializing options. In the
plugins case additional modes are read from the plugins list. If plugins are
off, the hdimage_locator_c registry is used. Related changes in all parts of
Bochs that need the hdimage stuff.
TODO #1: Network and sound drivers could be handled in a similar way.
TODO #2: Make disk image mode detection work again in plugins mode.
- Added suffix "_gui" to the base name of display library plugins.
- Added new function plugins_search() that browses the plugin folder(s) and
detects the type from the library name. Plugins with no prefix or suffix are
treated as i/o device plugins. The plugin_load() function uses this database.
- Some related fixes and cleanups.
- Renamed vpc-img.* files to vpc.* and removed hack for image mode name conversion.
- Added suffix "_img" to all disk image mode plugin base names. This is important
for the future implementation of a plugin enumeration at Bochs startup.
- Common hdimage code, lowlevel cdrom code and the classes for the Bochs "own"
image modes (e.g. flat, sparse, growing") are now a part of the Bochs core.
- All classes for image modes present in separate files are now built as
plugins with the same self register mechanism as network, sound and usb
modules. Defined new plugin type PLUGTYPE_HDIMAGE.
- Temporarily disabled the base image format detection of the undoable/volatile
modes for the "external" modes in the plugins case.
- TODO: Bochs should know about all of the available plugins and their
capabilities right after startup, but before the configuration stage.
- Added buffer for maximum 16 key events.
- PS/2 keyboard now sets the changed indicators only.
- Added support for the yellow status indicator in the win32 gui.
- Added HID code for the menu key.
- Added support for the yellow status indicator in the rfb and vncsrv guis.
- Cleaned up status indicator code in SDL, SDL2 and X guis.
- Unified USB keyboard and keypad code. Removed the keypad lookup table.
- Moved keyboard indicator stuff to the devices code and use it for both the
USB and legacy keyboard device. In the USB case a different color is used.
- In the SDL, SDL2 and X guis added new status indicator color yellow. It is
designed to be used by the USB keyboard (write flag 1 and "auto_off" flag 0).
- Added missing sysmbol to the German X11 keymap table.
TODO #1; Add some missing HID key codes.
TODO #2: Add key event queue to avoid losing events.
TODO #3: Unify keyboard and keypad code.
TODO #4: Support multiple non-modifier keys pressed at the same time.
TODO #5: Share keyboard indicators with the legacy PS/2 keyboard.
- Added NUMLOCK to the table of supported keys.
- Temporarily added status bar item for the keypad NUMLOCK indicator.
- TODO: Add new HID device "keyboard" with all keys supported.
- Added new devices method register_default_keyboard() and handle keyboard
events similar to the mouse stuff.
- Prepared removable keyboard support for the "paste bytes" feature.
- Store keyboard type in device object to avoid reading parameter at runtime.
- Related code cleanups.
- TODO #1: Extend USB keypad to full featured keyboard.
- TODO #2: Paste bytes support for USB keyboard.
