<li> FPU mods:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Integrated new FPU emulator mods from Bill Metzenthen.
|
|
<li> Bill ported x86 specific assembly files to C.
|
|
<li> I helped port the FPU emulator to work on big-endian machines.
|
|
(tested on SPARC so far)
|
|
<li> The FPU emulator is now integrated into the main bochs
|
|
source code (in fpu/) for ease of compilation.
|
|
<li> Tested on x86 and SPARC.
|
|
<li> The '--enable-fpu' option no longer needs an argument.

|
<li> CDROM emulation works on win32. Mods from Nick Behnken.

|
<li> Cleaned up some problems with win32 compile with VC++.
|
|
<li> Fixed ::call_protected() for protected mode call to same level
|
|
via call gate.

<li> Check out <a href="sound.html">sound.html</a> for SB16 notes.
|
|
<li> Added configure option <a href="configure.html">--enable-sb16=</a>.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li> Started work on special guest driver to host interface, which
|
|
will ultimately be used by disk/video/network etc drivers
|
|
to enhance performance in bochs. Not usable yet.

<ul>
|
|
<li> NT4.0 installs in bochs (Pentium+FPU+CDROM options).
|
|
<li> Please wait until next release for running NT unless you really
|
|
need it.
|
|
<li> Created (incomplete) docs-html/guestNT.html to outline process
|
|
of installing NT4.0 in bochs.
|
|
<li> More fixes to ::exception().
|
|
<li> Fixes to ::stack_return_to_v86().
|
|
<li> Mods to configure to handle win32 config again.
|
|
<li> Integrates mods from win32 developers.
|
|
<li> vga.cc handles variable number of lines in text mode.
|
|
Updated GUI code for all platforms, to receive number of
|
|
lines of text in ::text_update().

|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Integrated diffs submitted for OpenBSD cdrom support.
|
|
<li> Fixed up v8086 mode and exception handling.
|
|
<li> Fixed real-mode handling of IOPL flag WRT POPF/IRET.
|
|
<li> Fixed handling of a bunch of weird 16/32-bit transitions.
|
|
In the doing, I ended up recoding the following:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> Recoded ::exception()
|
|
<li> Recoded ::interrupt()
|
|
<li> Recoded ::task_switch()
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<li> Cleaned up most warnings.
|
|
<li> Added docs-html/codingguidelines.html. Please peruse it, if
|
|
you are a code submitter, and would like to comply with
|
|
my code tyranny. :^)
|
|
<li> Integrated new submitted Mac build files and gui code.
|
|
<li> Have a few more issues to take care of before playing
|
|
in the dynamic translation sandbox again.

<ul>
|
|
<li> CDROM emulation:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> New ./configure option '--enable-cdrom'. So far, there is
|
|
only support for Linux.
|
|
<li> I created a Linux specific CDROM component. Mostly
|
|
just ioctl()s needed to access a few functions of the
|
|
cdrom.
|
|
<li> Created 'iodev/cdrom.cc' and 'iodev/cdrom.h' which contain
|
|
the low-level code. Essentially, all the OS specific code
|
|
is contained in these files.
|
|
<li> Should be fairly easy to add code for other OSes.
|
|
<li> Use .bochsrc directive 'cdromd: dev=/dev/cdrom, status=inserted'.
|
|
<li> Will add an icon for cdrom to the UI later.
|
|
<li> Tested cdrom emulation running Linux in bochs. Use something
|
|
like 'mount -r /dev/hdb /mnt/cdrom'. Haven't checked out
|
|
using it in Windows yet.

<ul>
|
|
<li> Moved default cpu level to Pentium.
|
|
<li> Created docs-html/configure.html to explain options to configure.
|
|
<li> Fixes to high-level CDROM support.
|
|
<li> Added optional x86 hardware debug support:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> '--enable-x86-debugger' is a new option to ./configure.
|
|
<li> This is the debug support offered by an x86 CPU,
|
|
not the native bochs debugger.
|
|
<li> Added instruction and data breakpoint capabilities.
|
|
<li> Added proper RF handling with or without hw debugging.
|
|
<li> You can configure without this option for more speed.
|

</ul>
|

<li> More Pentium behaviour enhancements.
|

<ul>
|
|
<li> Generated new BIOS (bios/BIOS-bochs-990925a).
|
|
<li> Fix to mouse BIOS code (int15h:c2:06:00). The use of
|
|
local code block/variables is not handled correctly by
|
|
the bcc compiler. Removed braces, and moved local variable
|
|
to top level of function.
|
|
<li> Fix to extended mem access BIOS function (int15h:87).
|
|
This was killing Minix.
|
|
<li> Fix to floppy.cc, was reading one extra sector.
|
|
<li> Fix to Makefiles etc for compiling without floating point.
|
|
<li> Minix boots again inside bochs. Though, the keyboard code
|
|
is not yet right for running Minix. For some reason, if
|
|
you comment out the 2 keyboard ACKs at lines 947 and
|
|
966 in iodev/keyboard.cc, it works.

the x87 FPU emulator included in the Linux kernel. It
|
|
was written by Bill Metzenthen. Look in fpu.html for
|

more info. Added "--enable-fpu=" to configure. For now,
|
|
this will only work on x86, since wm-FPU-emu has some

assembly components.

<li> Coded illegal instruction exception for old XBTS and IBTS

<LI> First teaser release with dynamic translation framework!
|
|
<LI> Only a few instructions translated, but the framework
|
|
is coming along nicely. Read "readme.990312b" in the
|
|
ftp directory above for more info. I include some
|
|
preliminary performance tests, and you can benchmark
|
|
bochs with dynamic translation on your own machine.
|
|
<LI> Many more optimizations are possible.

It was invaluable to me during cosimulation of this version

an image file is read into CMOS registers upon startup.

initialize. Not complete yet. DON'T USE YET

Set this to 0 or 1. If set to 1, some new hard drive commands

received. After I have time to look at these more, I'll

integrate them permanently and get rid of this option.

being set after a read operation cached an entry in the TLB.
|

Also, added in legwork for supporting 486+ syle paging behaviour
|
|
for use with OS's which have copy-on-write strategies.
