is important because many people don't have the tools to rebuild them.
They will only be removed if you type "make bios-clean", which people
are unlikely to do by accident.
- since rombios.c also supports 8 processors, go ahead and build an 8 cpu
bios as well.

Instead, just build all 4 bioses for 1,2,4,8 processors all the time.
Now they should all stay in sync without any special effort.

- implement "large" "r-echs" "lba" disk translations
- fix if ( (sc==0x01) && (sn=0x01) ) bug
- fix option field in int13 function 0x48 for harddisks

- asm helper asm function ldivul idiv_ and idiv_u
"bx_bool" which is always defined as Bit32u on all platforms. In Carbon
specific code, Boolean is still used because the Carbon header files
define it to unsigned char.
- this fixes bug [ 623152 ] MacOSX: Triple Exception Booting win95.
The bug was that some code in Bochs depends on Boolean to be a
32 bit value. (This should be fixed, but I don't know all the places
where it needs to be fixed yet.) Because Carbon defined Boolean as
an unsigned char, Bochs just followed along and used the unsigned char
definition to avoid compile problems. This exposed the dependency
on 32 bit Boolean on MacOS X only and led to major simulation problems,
that could only be reproduced and debugged on that platform.
- On the mailing list we debated whether to make all Booleans into "bool" or
our own type. I chose bx_bool for several reasons.
1. Unlike C++'s bool, we can guarantee that bx_bool is the same size on all
platforms, which makes it much less likely to have more platform-specific
simulation differences in the future. (I spent hours on a borrowed
MacOSX machine chasing bug 618388 before discovering that different sized
Booleans were the problem, and I don't want to repeat that.)
2. We still have at least one dependency on 32 bit Booleans which must be
fixed some time, but I don't want to risk introducing new bugs into the
simulation just before the 2.0 release.

- change int 15 function to get a pushad_regs_t parameter
instead of the registers enumeration
- change in int 15 references to 32bits,16bits and 8 bits
registers to their pushad_regs_t counterpart
instead of winmm being a part of GUI_LINK_OPTS_WIN32 only, it is
placed in @DEVICE_LINE_OPTS@ so that it will be used for sdl, rfb, wx,
etc.
- solve compile problems when building bximage, niclist, and any other
console based program. The compile flags returned by wx-config and
sdl-config did strange things to these console programs, for example
redefining main to SDL_main. Because I wanted to use the
configure-generated CFLAGS to compile the programs, but I wanted to
avoid including GUI specific compile options, I split up the configure's
@CFLAGS@ variable into @CFLAGS@ and @GUI_CFLAGS@, and split
@CXXFLAGS@ into @CXXFLAGS@ and @GUI_CXXFLAGS@. All programs in the
Bochs binary will use both, but the console programs will just use
@CFLAGS@ or @CXXFLAGS@.
- gui/Makefile.in, I no longer use the gui specific CFLAGS variables,
SDL_CFLAGS and WX_CXXFLAGS. These values are included in CFLAGS and
CXXFLAGS now.
- modified: configure.in, configure, all Makefile.in's
- parallel port detection fixed:
* write the value of AX to 0x0410, not BX
* the timeout value is a byte and now stored in CL
* the offset of the port address list is 2 bytes
. 4 ata interfaces support
. devices auto-detection
. 16bits/32bits device access
. EDD3.0 support
. ata/atapi layer rewrite
. added verious DEBUG_XXX to debug only parts of the bios, because we're running low on data space in debug mode
. moved ata data at offset 0x121 in EBDA. Previously, data was being overwritten by keyboard.sys
. added jump to [0x40:0x67] after reset if shutdown status is 0x05. Fixes bug [ 601166 ] CMOS Problem @ "0x0F Index 0x05 data"
. DMA controller init on POST entry
- added jump to [0x40:0x67] after reset if shutdown status is 0x05. Fixes bug [ 601166 ] CMOS Problem @ "0x0F Index 0x05 data"
- changed various occurences of "mov ax, #0000" by "xor ax, ax"
- fixed serious bugs in EDD function 0x48
- included Volker's rombios recent changes to PCIBIOS
- initialization of DMA controller on POST entry
- added atapi layer
- updated int13_cdrom, int13_eltorito and int13_cdemu
- added verious DEBUG_XXX to debug only parts of the bios, because we're running low on data space in debug mode
- added a fix so bcc generates good code when #asm follows if or while statements
- updated int13_cdrom, int13_eltorito and int13_cdemu
- added verious DEBUG_XXX to debug only parts of the bios, because we're running low on data space in debug mode
- added a fix so bcc generates good code when #asm follows if or while statements
- 4 ata interfaces support (1)
- devices auto-detection
- 16bits/32bits device access
- EDD3.0 support
This is nearly the same BIOS I offered for download on July 12th,
but I hope to get more feedback with the CVS.
I will update this bios with the atapi bit and fixes, and
I'll eventually merge the changes in the main BIOS.

* new floppy type 360k can be used in .bochsrc and the config interface
* media type and geometry can be set for the floppy type
* BIOS changes to make 360k floppy drives work
* bximage can create 360k images now
- new real mode PCI BIOS functions: find device, read/write byte/dword
- C code for PCI BIOS handles errors and prints messages only
- function setPCIaddr() no longer needed
- functions inw() and outw() no longer used by the PCI BIOS
- BIOS32 checksum calculation rewriten to prevent errors
- labels of protected mode PCI BIOS renamed
Linux (kernel 2.2.18) is able to use the new features.
Here is the list of changes:
* BIOS32 data structure added
* BIOS32 and protected mode PCI BIOS functions added. The BIOS32 function
returns a pointer to the PCI BIOS entry point when the service $PCI is
requested and the PCI hardware is present.
* Supported 32 bit functions: installation check, find pci device,
read configuration byte/word/dword, write configuration byte/word/dword
* real mode PCI BIOS installation check rewritten in assembler to use 32 bit
registers for the protected mode entry point and the 'PCI ' signature.
TODO:
* add missing functions of the PCI BIOS (if necessary)
* add missing features of the i440FX PCI bridge
* implement the other parts of the i440FX chipset (PCI-to-ISA bridge,
PCI IDE controller, USB controller)
- functions inw() and outw() are required for the ATA driver too
- real mode PCI BIOS installation check returns revision level 2.10
- unsupported real mode PCI BIOS functions return the error code 0x81
- added ASM_START / ASM_END instead of #asm / #endasm.
Now we are (tested) able to compile with both gcc2 and gcc3
compiler (Eventually!) Aren't you happy Jeroen ? ;-)
- fixed [ 549815 ]. I included back int19_relocated at the bios
space could not hold the new mov ex, ax
- int19 calls int18 if the boot has failed. I hope this is the
right behavior.
- added BX_DEBUG, BX_INFO, BX_PANIC macros
- BX_DEBUG outputs to the INFO port till we can easily choose debug output on a per-device basis
- BX_DEBUG are only generated if DEBUG_ROMBIOS is defined to 1
- do not panic on unsupported function in int13, only output info message
- fixed a bug on boot signature check never done on floppy/harddisk and always on floppy images on cd
- the boot signature check on harddisks is always done
- the boot signature check on cdroms (either direct boot or floppy images) is never done
- the boot signature check on floppies is conditionnal to CMOS reg 0x38 (configuration floppy_bootsig_check)
- moved PIC initialization before calling optional rombios init functions (feature request [ 541908 ])
- BX_DEBUG outputs to the INFO port till we can easily choose debug output on a per-device basis
- BX_DEBUG are only generated if DEBUG_ROMBIOS is defined to 1
- do not panic on unsupported function in int13, only output info message
- fixed a bug on boot signature check never done on floppy/harddisk and always on floppy images on cd
- the boot signature check on harddisks is always done
- the boot signature check on cdroms (either direct boot or floppy images) is never done
- the boot signature check on floppies is conditionnal to CMOS reg 0x38 (configuration floppy_bootsig_check)
- moved PIC initialization before calling optional rombios init functions (feature request [ 541908 ])
about this, #535432: Emu panics when pressing ">"-key. The user did not
report exactly what the exact message was, but these sound like the
correct ones. BIOS panics are permanent fatal errors, so I don't
want them to show up accidently, especially for something as trivial
as bumping the wrong key.
- CDs can boot at segment != 0x7c0
- reworked int19 in a C function
- "no emulation" CDs can be booted (Win2k, XP).
No more 000E failure code. Win2k fails though
- started to implement int13 for cdrom
- started to mutualize string constants
- changed a little bit the Bios Config Table address
so the new int19 handler fits whithout relocation
Cliff added to bios_printf the ability to print onto the console. Bryce made
some further changes. Now when a panic occurs, the message is reported both
to the Bochs log file and to the screen, and then it goes into an infinite
busy loop. Why an inf loop? If I do a HLT in BIOS code, current bochs
versions will panic immediately and the user will never see the real panic
message. I have mostly tested the new panic behavior by booting nonbootable
and nonreadable disks.
are released, I will remove VGABIOS-cbothamy-0.2a and add a file with
the other version number. I decided not to use the "-latest" naming
scheme because there is no synchronization between bochs releases and
LGPL VGA BIOS releases. Anything that's called "latest" is bound to
go obsolete eventually.
a read-only disk image. For systems such as DOS that actually use the
BIOS services, it was also necessary to add code in int13_diskette_function
to recognize a write-protected error and return the correct error
status code (AH=3, Carry Set).
[ #430472 ] DOS HIMEM "A20 line" error
All I've done is moved the call to print_bios_banner later in the
boot process, and the A20 problem goes away. I wanted it early so
that it would get printed before any panic or halt could happen.
Oh well.
by BCC generated data. This was pointed out by Tom Lindström
<tom@debet.shh.fi>, and I took his suggestion of moving the MP structures
to the end of the file.
- now the HALT macro in rombios.c writes to panic port but does not actually
execute a "hlt" instruction. This allows the .bochsrc to control
whether the BIOS panic is fatal or not.
His change log says:
- Makefile simplified - no longer uses tools86, dataseghack or ld86.
Also enables warnings (-w-) and checks for undefined labels (-u-).
- Macros used in place of multi-line #defines (so !!! conversion by
tools86 not needed).
- HALT() fixed [previously used ';' instead of '!!!']. Needs port 400 to
be added to iodev to be useful?
- isru removed - doesn't seem to be needed now.
- added UDIV16 (for use by bios_printf).
- bios_printf %d implemented.
- set_enable_a20 changed to use PS2 method, since bochs emulates this.
- Keyboard intercept (int 15h/42h) fixed - should set CF, not assume that
caller already has. [The DOS keyb driver for example doesn't!]
- Memory is scanned from C000 to F4000 for extension ROMs - this
picks up VGA BIOS as before, and allows others to be included.
- Comments improved for bios config table, and bit indicating RTC
present is now set.
- Int 9 (keyboard) now calls Int 15h/42h for key releases too.
[Again, this is what the DOS keyb driver does.]
