- 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
- renamed trigger_timer() methods to refresh_display()
- new argument 'redraw' added to force a refresh of the entire screen
(used in snapshot mode)
- siminterface method refresh_vga() now checks if the Bochs gui init is complete
- use SIM->refresh_vga() in some more cases
- graphics_tile_info() split into a common and specific part
- store snapshot mode in structure bx_svga_tileinfo_t
- in snapshot mode, display adapters copy raw data to buffer
- rewrite of the trigger_timer() code to make it work in all cases
- added new class bx_nonvga_device_c to make forwarding refresh requests to the
Voodoo adapter possible
API) moved to the gui code. Splitted graphics_tile_update() in a common and a
specific part. The common part handles the snapshot case if active. As a side
effect, the snapshot feature now works for CGA modes, too. Fixed palette colors
in 8 bpp snapshots.
the display adapter code. When ready, the common gui code should handle it
completely. The snapshot handler should set a flag 'snapshot_mode' and then it
should force a display update. The graphics update code should be redirected to
some code that 'draws' to a snapshot buffer. These first steps are done:
- store some guest display settings in the gui code (text / graphics switch,
x / y resolution and bpp)
- split 8 bpp palette update code in a common and a specific part and store the
palette values in the gui code
- wxdialog: use symbols and allow log action ACT_IGNORE for LOGLEV_ERROR
- wxdialog: removed obsolete pass event
- TODO: fix win32dialog stuff in a similar way
type of the r/o disk for the undoable / volatile mode. The format check code
is currently written for flat, sparse and growing images. The undoable and
volatile mode now cause a panic if the r/o image mode is unsupported.
- TODO #1: rewrite the header checks for vmware3, vmware4 and vpc images to make
them usable for autodetection.
- TODO #2: add support for other types of r/o disks in undoable/volatile mode.
- TODO #3: add an image mode 'auto' for the supported types (NOTE: unknown images
can be treated as flat ones if their size is multiple of 512).
time if requested (reduces code duplication)
- 'vpc' image mode: moved header check to a separate function that opens the
file, checks header/footer and returns disk type (if requested)
- implemented restore function for 'vpc' mode images
- gui: updated yes/no dialog message after saving state
- save/restore documentation update (TODO: developer doc)
undoable, volatile)
- TODO: save state function for the remaining image modes, restore support
- save/restore: when saving binary data to a file, use the full parameter path
(except "bochs." prefix) as the file name to avoid overwriting duplicates
dummy parameter and it's save/restore handlers. Currently only the save
support is implemented and the specific save function is only written for
flat mode images (copies whole disk image file to the save/restore folder).
- TODO #1: implement save function for the other disk image modes
- TODO #2: add restore support (replace disk image file with the one from the
save/restore folder)
- re-implemented siminterface method is_wx_selected() (the old one had been
renamed to has_debug_gui() which is something different now)
- don't use alarm() if the wx gui is selected and instead use the wxTimer based
code that already exists for wxMSW
Added a new event BX_ASYNC_EVT_QUIT_SIM that is posted from the simulation thread
to the gui thread and the "Bochs stopped" message box is shown there.
- TODO: Fix random freezes in wxGTK that seem to be caused by the "show ips"
feature. A async event like the one above could possibly fix this problem.
"hideIPS" could be used if there is still trouble)
- siminterface / wx: updated / added comments
- renamed wxWidgets README (some more updates may be required)
- TODO: fix deadlock after pressing the power button (wxGTK only)
- uninstall parameter handlers (floppy, keyboard)
- unload plugin that cannot be removed automatically
- wx: removed "show keyboard" demo and some other cleanups
- TODO: remove wx debugger and make wx work with the enhanced gui debugger
- ported Qemu block driver (written by Alex Beregszaszi and Kevin Wolf)
- added helper functions bx_read_image() and bx_write_image()
- TODO: use helper function for the other disk image modes
- 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.
- enh_dbg: fixed defined-but-not-used warnings
- siminterface: renamed 'wx_debug_gui' to 'bx_debug_gui' and updated comments
- TODO: remove the wx debugger and use the enhanced gui debugger instead
