- log file description improved (disable logging on win32)
- usb1 description added
- vgaromimage: VGABIOS-lgpl-latest is now the default
- wxWindows changed to wxWidgets
* updated description for bochsrc options com[1-4], mouse, i440fxsupport
* added description for bochsrc option 'gdbstub'
- updated syntax of bochsrc option 'vgaromimage'
- updated remark for the usage of the LGPL'd VGABIOS and Windows NT 4.0
- updated some descriptions in the bochsrc sample
#1079240 by Ben Lunt. There are still some problems:
- PS/2 mouse is always present (some code to emulate a disconnected mouse needed)
- PS/2 wheel mouse doesn't work properly
- serial wheel mouse detected as a standard mouse and doesn't work at all
- vgaromimage option now compatible with the other rom options. Old style syntax
(without 'file=...") is still supported.
- load order for the rom images fixed (system, vga, other)
- rom images sizes not multiple 512 cause a BX_INFO for now. The original check
will be enabled after updating the vgabios files
- optromimage error messages fixed
- some updates of the bochsrc sample
data written to the port and where to get the data read from it. Available
modes are 'null' (no input/output), 'file' (output to a file specified as
the 'dev' parameter), 'term' (serial terminal) and 'raw' (use the real serial
port - under construction for win32).
- descriptions for serial and parallel options in bochsrc sample updated
* up to 5 slots can be specified with the 'i440fxsupport' config option
* the pci slot number are hardwired to pci device numbers
* the 'devfunc' value is returned the calling device (useful for multi-function
devices)
* the core of the i440FX chipset is hardwired to pci device 1 + 2; usb is still
optional and appears at device 1, function 2
- ne2k: enable pci features if connected to a pci slot
- ne2k: asic data port supports 32-bit access if ne2k-pci is active
- pci2isa: improved error messages for ELCR1 and ELCR2
- pit: and time0: options are still supported but deprecated
- warn when parsing deprecated directives
- fix wrong number of ata_device_translation_names
- still to do:
- setting time0 to utc is not yet supported
- the man page, user guide and .bochsrc still need to be updated
with the new options
You can now choose for each disk on the ata interfaces the
disk mode, between :
- flat : one file flat layout
- concat : multiple files layout
- external : developer's specific, through a C++ class
- dll : developer's specific, through a DLL
- sparse : stackable, commitable, rollbackable
- vmware3 : vmware3 disk support
- undoable : flat file with commitable redolog
- growable : growing file
- volatile : flat file with volatile redolog
- z-undoable : gziped flat file with commitable redolog
- z-volatile : gziped flat file with volatile redolog
A new "bxcommit" utility can merge commitable redologs to
flat images.
- function userbutton_handler(): stop parsing the shortcut string if the
key name is invalid
- function userbutton_handler(): incrementing variable 'len' simplified
- function snapshot_checker(): fixed a warning
there is one more option in the configuration file "debugger_log"
if the debugger is compiled in, all debugger output will be also
written to this file. Note: wxWindow config interface is not updated yet
a control panel, but now we're calling it a text configuration interface.
Modified:
.bochsrc Makefile.in bochs.h main.cc cpu/Makefile.in
debug/Makefile.in disasm/Makefile.in fpu/Makefile.in
gui/Makefile.in iodev/Makefile.in memory/Makefile.in
- if translation=auto :
. translation=none if cylinders <=1024 and heads <=16
. translation=large if cylinders * heads <= 131072
. transaltion=lba otherwise
- changes default translation value to "auto"
- add example in .bochsrc
section title, and less like the grammar that you're supposed to use.
Someone on irc was confused because it was written in uppercase, but then
bochs did not accept the uppercase ATA0-MASTER parameter.
- Features :
. number of active channels defined at boot-time config
. new options in bochsrc
. up to 8 devices support (disks or cdroms)
. up to 4 cdrom devices can be changed at runtime config
. wxwindows config interface
