of the device specified in 'string'. Added register mechanism and chained
list to store the device name and pointer. Replace hardcoded debug info
implementations for pic, pci and vga by the new one.
- TODO #1: improve existing debug_dump() output and add more devices
- TODO #2: add support for additional arguments and replace the NE2k print_info()
- TODO:
add debug info for more devices without adding them to bx_devices_c and
without a macro in plugin. A register mechanism in the debugger code would
be nice. Currently it is only possible to show the devices state by
accessing the save/restore tree. The debug_dump() output should show
the operation mode and the most important registers.
- for sequencer reg #1 a screen update is required after changing bit #0, #3 and #5
- added new method skip_update() that checks the conditions to skip the screen update
and it is called after resizing the display
- clear screen request from the sequencer is now handled by the update() code
in the new method skip_update() instead of clearing display directly
- siminterface: don't create plugin parameter if it already exists
- wx: make sure all plugins are loaded when creating plugin control dialog
- USB HC's: fixed removal of parameters when unloading plugin
- bx_list_c: don't accept duplicate param names in list (except dependent lists
and special menus)
- added BX_PANIC for malloc() failure
- harddrv: fixed wrong variable found with bx_list_c changes
- added new class bx_vgacore_c containing the core of the standard VGA
emulation. This is now the base class for both vga and cirrus.
- created 2 separate plugins 'vga' (for standard VGA and VBE) and 'svga_cirrus'
(Cirrus emulation). The vga extension option is used to select which plugin
should be loaded.
- TODO: move the pcivga code to the VGA/VBE code, add subdirectory for display
adapters, severak improvements and cleanups
- changed argument for the text mode info structure to a pointer
- added attribute controller palette to bx_vga_tminfo_t and removed the
previous implementation
- carbon.cc: attempt to fix the text mode colors (untested)
- x.cc: fixed warnings
in the gui object. Now the gui doesn't need to include vga.h.
- TODO #1: win32.cc also shouldn't include vga.h
- TODO #2: replace BX_MAX_XRES / BX_MAX_YRES by variables that can be set
depending on the configuration
- store memory type array in the memory object to avoid calling the pci plugin
frequently. The pci code calls a memory method to change the memory type in
case the PAM registers are modified.
- removed now obsolete code and minor cleanups
- TODO #1: update MSVC workspace files
- TODO #2: these 'device classes' could be moved to subdirectories, too:
- pci (when we have more than one chipset)
- display (when we have one more device and vga / cirrus cleaned up)
plugin system.The load order is important for these devices!
- load support plugins for networking, sound and usb only if at least one of the
related plugin devices is loaded.
- plugin_ctrl: added missing devices to the list in bochsrc sample
parsing to the plugin device code
- sb16: modified misc runtime menu creation to make the sb16 parameters optional
- ne2k: changed location of the init() method in file (now matches coding style
of other device plugins)
nearly all cases and plugins that depend on others. These plugins cannot be
managed with 'plugin_ctrl' (e.g. keyboard, harddrv, pci_ide). Store the plugin
type in the divice structure for compatiblity with the "no-plugin" compilation.
Call the device methods init(), reset() and after_restore_state() for each type
separately in the order: stanard, optional, user. This also affects the status
bar LED feature: now the keyboard and harddrv LEDs are always visible, but
those of optional plugins may be invisible if there is no space left.
- TODO #1: add the devices 'ne2k' and 'sb16' to 'plugin_ctrl'
- TODO #2: manage core plugins with the device plugin system
option parsing to the plugin device code
- added function bx_init_usb_options() to reduce code duplication
- added log function names for 'usb_ohci' and 'usb_uhci'
- documentation updates
the device code. Added panic message to force the user to enable the plugin
with 'plugin_ctrl'.
- moved config parameter creation and bochsrc option parsing for device
'usb_xhci' to the plugin device code
- added minimal documentation for the "log action per device" feature
- added log function name for 'usb_xhci'
- some more hidden / system directory fixes
- parse_directory() / write_file(): continue only if next cluster is valid
- TODO: fix VVFAT with Windows XP guest (unmodified FAT ?)
