bx_devmodel_c. The early version of the combined vga / svga_cirrus code
required the now obsolete implementation. Some related cleanups in the
devices code.
- Since the pci_read_handler() method is identical in most devices, move it
to the base class to reduce code duplication. Only the 'pcidev' device has
it's own implementation (NOTE: it is not maintained yet).
- Minor other fixes and cleanups in some PCI devices.
- In "non-plugin" mode loading and unloading network module is not necessary.
Now enabled loading for the plugin mode only and removed unloading function
for that case. The "pseudo plugin" entries of the dummy entry points are
necessary to make sure the self-registering network driver objects are not
optimized out.
- slirp / vnet: Since the plugin init function is not called in non-plugin
mode, revert the instance count init change.
- Fixed a makefile dependecy.
- TODO: Implement self-registering objects in the sound driver code.
- Removed "pseudo device plugin" containing common code and specific drivers.
- Moved network module base classes and module handling to the Bochs core.
Now loading network driver plugins in netmod.cc.
- Moved shared networking code used by the 'vnet' driver and 'bxhub' from
netmod.cc/.h to new files netutil.cc/.h.
- Created separate plugins for each network driver implementation.
- Modified Bochs plugin system to support new plugin type PLUGTYPE_NETWORK.
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.
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.
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.
- Create a file with image name plus extension ".lock" if an image is opened
in read/write mode. This file will be deleted after closing the image.
- Check for a lock file before opening an image and fail if it exists.
- Check for a lock file before creating a undoable/volatile redolog file and
fail if it exists.
"fatal". It can be used for all cases when there is no workaroud present to
avoid application crash or incorrect simulation behaviour. As a first step now
using BX_FATAL() for some data structure size and bit field errors.
- The retry timer now calls process_transfer_ring() for enabled slots only.
- On USB3-only ports ignore device speed setup and try to enable super-speed mode.
- Added support for HID devices in high-speed mode.
- Added separate descriptors for MSD devices in high-speed mode.
- NOTE: USB 2.0 values ported from Qemu / tested with USB EHCI.
async mode by default for all USB devices (used by disk, cdrom and floppy).
Whenever we implement a new HC model, it is still possible to set the async mode
to 0 until the async packet completion is working correctly.
- Extended USB callback definition to support different event types sent from
device to HC. Currently we only have the two events "async completion" and
"remote wakeup".
- Implemented event handlers in the UHCI, OHCI and EHCI. For the EHCI version
we currently have no test case.
- The external USB hub now uses this feature at device connect/disconnect.
Now the device change on the hub is correctly detected by the guest OS.
- TODO #1: remote wakeup and async completion for the xHCI.
- TODO #2: event handler for the external hub to make a USB device work on
a chain of hubs.
- TODO #3: the event handler possibly could be used for the packet copy code.
- use get_dwords() and put_dwords() from EHCI sources for reading / writing
xHCI data structures as dword array. This fixes some endianness issues.
- simplified copying data from / to data structures since we can now use the
dword array with the correct byte order directly.
- fixed all remaining "strict-aliasing" GCC warnings.

duplication. The device calls the common handle_control() method and then it
processes unhandled requests in it's specific code. (similar to Qemu).
- USB xHCI NAK handling fix by Ben. Now openSUSE 13.2 boots without hang with
hub connected to an xHCI port.
- Updated Ben's email address and year in some copyright headers.
- Get rid of device_buffer and use packet init / cleanup functions.
- Read immediate data from memory location instead of possibly byte-swapped
TRB parameter.
- Moved UHCI async packet functions to usb_common.h for using then on both
UHCI and OHCI.
- Modified OHCI packet handling based on the UHCI implementation.
- Renamed EHCI helper function to avoid conflicts.
- TODO: async packet support on xHCI.
- Added missing queue handling code for init, reset and device disconnect.
- Added EHCI status access methods for async and periodic state.
- Added a lot of comments (mostly from the original EHCI core code).
- UFI/CBI floppy: bus-powered, no remote wakeup
- HID (mouse, tablet, keypad): bus-powered, remote wakeup
- MSD (disk, cdrom), printer: self-powered, no remote wakeup
TODO: Remote wakeup is not yet implemented. A device should be able to resume
it's upstream port if suspended.
- HcLSThreshold is writable, but it's usually not modified (same as Qemu).
- BX_ERROR should only occur on an attempt to change the number of ports.
- Don't register read-only items for save/restore.
- Changed some device descriptor fields (using values from Qemu).
- Ported device reset code from Qemu.
- Check device speed setting on connect (only low/full speed supported yet).
- TODO: External hub doesn't work properly in some test cases (device change
not detected by guest OS, openSUSE 13.2 hangs with hub on xHCI).
- USB mouse and keypad now return NAK response when idle and there is no change.
- Implemented HID commands for get/set idle duration.
- Fixed NAK behaviour in UHCI and OHCI.
TODO list: USB tablet should also return NAK (doesn't work yet), review xHCI for
the NAK behaviour, accurate implementation of the idle duration
is currently supported per hub at the same time (same as OHCI).
TODO #1: We should support at least one async operation per connected device.
TODO #2: Async packet support for EHCI and xHCI.
- added a hack to make EHCI work in Bochs, but without asynchronous packet
support (tested with "high-speed" USB disk).
- added missing list for connected USB device state.
- fixed some of the endianness issues
- fixed some of the GCC warnings
- changed some BX_INFO to BX_DEBUG
- FIXME: non-bulk devices not yet working on xHCI. Linux guest hangs during boot
when HID or hub device is connected.
instead of the hub's remove_device() method. The external hub removes connected
devices before clearing it's own list. This fixes crash on exit when devices
are present on external hub.
ignores connected high speed device (fixes panic with EHCI on guest OS init or
shutdown). The other HC's now panic and disconnect device if the user decides
to continue.
Asynchronous transfers are not yet working properly (tested with USB disk device
in high speed mode). That's why the support for "speed:high" is still disabled.
Since we have no test case for the isosynchronous mode, I have not yet ported
the main code for it.
- added Android case to the configure script.
- renamed file memory.h to memory-bochs.h to fix conflict with NDK.
- fixed Android issues in some files.
almost implemented, the port owner handling and the UHCI companion controllers
are present. High speed devices are not yet supported, since the EHCI scheduler
code has not been written yet (e.g. porting from Qemu). Low and full speed
devices should be detected correctly and work after port ownership change to
UHCI. 6 ports are available and the bochsrc syntax is similar to other HCs.
- added method to change port ownership.
- fixed UHCI reset and initialized device pointers.
- added symbol UHCI_FULL_DEBUG to reduce debug output if not set.
- renamed connection handling method.
emulation and usb_uhci.cc implements the setup for the PIIX3 chipset and the
runtime device change code. The UHCI core is required for the EHCI emulation,
since there can be multiple "companion" controllers for USB 1.1 device handling.
- vgacore: double font and screen width at half dot clock.
- X gui: improved font bitmap generation to support width > 9.
- win32 gui: adjust values to use existing stretching feature.
- guis rfb, sdl, sdl2, vncsrv and wx: double pixels if font width > 9.
sector transfers (buffer pointer update was missing). Multiple sectors transfers
could for the USB disk emulation and for image conversion with bximage.
- More accurate seek emulation for read commands.
- Moved status indicator code to the SCSI layer.
- Fixed dump size for async packets.
TODO: Seek emulation for disk write commands.
Added latency time for the "implied seek" of read/write/format commands. Both
features can be used when asynchronous packet handling is available. Some
related changes in the non-async read and write code.
- Added missing update of the write protection flag after runtime config.
- Added sense codes for invalid cases of some commands.
- Added buffer pointer save/restore handling and use BXRS macros now.
It can be used when asynchronous packet handling is available. Some changes in
the non-async read and write code.

MSD / SCSI code.
TODO list (async packet and seek support):
- seek emulation for USB harddisk write commands
- seek emulation for floppy
- async packet support for UHCI and xHCI
- improve and clean up OHCI async packet code
- Common USB code prepared for async USB packet handling (ported from an earlier
Qemu version).
- Added simple async packet handling to OHCI (partly ported from earlier Qemu).
- Implemented USB cdrom seek emulation for hubs with async packet support. The
legacy code is still present for hubs without this feature.
- For UHCI and xHCI the callback is set to NULL to force the usage of the
legacy cdrom read code.
TODO: clean up OHCI code, async support for UHCI and xHCI, seek emulation for
USB harddisk and floppy.
- rewrite of usb_dump_packet(), execute code only if debug output is enabled.
- OHCI: removed packet dump, it should be done in the devices code if necessary.
- Add a special list to the MSD state and add pointers to the runtime-only
options for the cdrom. The restore handler of this list calls runtime_config()
to make sure the media path and status are correctly updated.
- Registering a runtime config handler for the USB cdrom is not necessary since
runtime_config() is always called from the hub it is connected to.
- Restore a string parameter value only if it's different from the initial one.

- Added restore handler support for the bx_list_c class. If a handler is
registered, it will be called after restoring all of the list's members.
- USB hub: add special lists to the port state and add pointers to the
runtime-only options for each port. The restore handler of this list calls
init_device() to make sure all connected devices can be restored.
- Call restore_logopts() after restoring hardware to make sure all saved
modules have been created.
- TODO: the USB cdrom also needs a fix for it's runtime-only options.
- Removed USB device type handling from constructor and init code, since we
only the 'floppy' type here.
- Write commands now using the device buffer for one sector.
TODO: support for starting without media and runtime media change.
- The read buffer is now limited to 16 sectors and the read commands can fill
it multiple times until all sectors have been read.
- The write commands are currently not using the device buffer, so no panic
should happen here.
- bx_param_num_c: set the value returned from the handler.
- bx_param_string_c: set the new value after processing the handler.
- harddrv param handler: check lock state of cdrom and modify value if true.
- Force a status bar update after unregistering an item.
- Added status indicators for USB disk and cdrom.
- Handle USB device disconnect in the runtime config handler, too.

sendwavepacket() directly calls the conversion method and output(). In all other
cases it puts the unmodified data into a buffer and the conversion thread is
doing the main job and puts the data into the output buffer chain.
TODO: resampling could also be done by the new thread.
- The 'Bits' type used in the opl files is incompatible with Bit64s. Modified
typedef to fix this issue.
- On Windows use Sleep() directly, since msleep() doesn't exist in Cygwin.
USB UHCI and the E1000 NIC are known to work fine on some guest systems, so
it's safe to remove this attribute.
TODO: Some other Bochs features need to be reviewed for this.
- the "remaplist" has 256 entries, but the limit was too high (4096).
- the "patchtable" had 4096 entries, but the index was never > 15.
- removed disabled / outdated code.
- Undocumented "legacy" register at offset 0x1b is used to probe for the ES1370
interrupt by the Win9x driver. Using bit #0 to control the IRQ line fixes
driver installation.
- Added more detailed BX_ERROR messages for the UART registers.
- Small code cleanup in the write handler.
- TODO: fix possible bluescreen in Win98 guest after wave playback.
- OPL3: apply FM volume control to the output data.
- SB16: fixed missing volume update after mixer reset.
- soundlow: fixed application of the volume control to the PCM output.
- Removed useless set_pcm_params() call in base class contructor.
- SDL waveout destructor needs to call the unregister_wave_callback() method
of the SDL stuff, since the base class destructor doesn't do that.
- Moved BX_INIT_MUTEX() call to start_mixer_thread() to reduce code duplication.
- Call BX_FINI_MUTEX() only when the mixer thread and mutex was really used.
NULL for all services and the dummy driver provides the stubs. Now falling
back to the dummy driver if the wavein or midiout services are not provided
by the selected driver.
- sound 'file' driver: added failure handling in the file open methods.
- soundmod: initialize default driver with NULL to avoid crash on failure.
- SB16: Fixed crash if no driver is present / removed unused members.
- Implemented wave output using the 'soundfile' driver including dual wave
output in wavemode 3. Removed now obsolete output file handling and other
cleanups. The wave input (recording) feature is not affected by the
wavemode setting.
- Moved VOC file handling to the soundfile code.
- Updated iodev makefile dependencies.
- Implemented wave and midi output using the 'soundfile' driver.
- Implemented dual midi/wave output in midimode/wavemode 3.

- The wave input (recording) and OPL3 output features are not affected by
the wavemode setting.
- TODO: Similar rewrite of ES1370 wave output and related cleanups.
- soundlow: use direct output if no PCM callback is registered.
- soundlow/soundfile: re-implemented openwaveoutput() method to support
runtime changes of wave mode or file (only implemented in the 'file'
driver, stub for others).
- soundfile: don't initialize mixer thread and PCM callback if thread is
already running / no output() delay in that case.
- Added the capability to load up to 4 sound drivers and added methods to
get pointers to the waveout, wavein and midiout services of a driver.
- Rewrite of the SB16 midi file output code. In midimode 2 and 3 the midiout
service of the 'file' driver is used. Removed obsolete midi file handling.
- Re-implemented the closemidioutput() method to make runtime changes of the
midi setup work with the new code.
- waveout: added support for RIFF WAVE format and raw output. The formats
'voc' and 'wav' are detected by file extension, raw output is used otherwise.
- midiout: added support for raw midi output (no header, no deltatime).
The 'mid' format is detected by file extension, raw output is used otherwise.
- Added 'midiout' parameter to the global sound option to specify the device
if necessary. The related SB16 parameter now only specifies the output file.
- TODO: Rewrite of the sound configuration and output code to support dual
output (device and file).
- New code is based on the dummy sound driver and file output code from SB16.
- The midiout feature supports the MIDI file format.
- The waveout feature currently only supports the VOC format.
TODO:
- Add support for a more detailed sound configuration (waveout to device,
midiout to a file.
- The waveout feature should support WAV and RAW file formats.

TODO #1: Implement mixer thread support in the OSX sound driver.
TODO #2: Code cleanups in the Bochs sound code.
TODO #3: Resampling support and improvements in the wave recording code.
- removed disabled code for the sndPlaySound() function.
- removed now obsolete buffer ring for wave output.
- The new mothod waveout() is driven by the mixer thread. For the best results
you need to disable the 'realtime' sychronization and to find out a usable
IPS vaöue. The mixer also polls data from the speaker beep generator and
the OPL3 FM generator.
- TODO: Code cleanup in soundwin.cc, implementation in other sound modules.
- soundlow: prepared code for 2 pcm parameter sets:
emulated: requested by sendwavepacket()
real: used for the sound output
- soundsdl: startwaveplayback() rewritten to set_pcm_data().
- soundmod: some beep init code fixes.
- OPL3: Added support to change the samplerate of the generator.
- SDL sound: convert wave packet to 16 Bit signed stereo format.

- TODO: implement mixer thread and remove beep thread.
The code currently only works with the SDL sound output module and at 44100 Hz,
with 16 bit stereo signed little endian format. FM volume control and
save/restore support are not implemented yet. The legacy code for generating
MIDI notes still works and will be removed when mixing support is implemented
in all sound modules.
- Define new structure bx_pcm_param_t and use it as a parameter for the method
sendwavepacket(). The method startwavepacket() is now called from
sendwavepacket() in case of a parameter change (temporary solution).
- soundsdl: Replaced waveready() call by some more accurate code for buffer
space check in sendwavepacket().
- soundsdl: Moved code for reading from audio buffer to a new function.
- soundsdl: Temporarily increase the audio buffer size.
- Preparing the SB16 code for the OPL emulation port from DOSBox.
- Reworked wave callback code to support 2 input sources (no mixing yet).
- Fixed SDL sound output.
- Beep generator fixes.
- Prepared the SB16 code for FM OPL output support (to be ported from DOSBox).
- Renamed wavedata callback type.
- Handle sample rate in the beep generator (TODO: handle data format).
- Don't call waveready() in the SB16 code.
- Attempt to fix SDL2 wave output using SDL_LockAudio() / SDL_UnlockAudio().
- SDL specific code in the beep thread no longer needed.
