sim> SET XQ MAC=aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff{/bits}{>filespec}
where:
- all of the aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff values must be hex digits
- bits is the number of bits which are to be taken from the supplied
MAC aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff with legal values from 16 to 48 and a default
of 48 bits.
- filespec specifies a file which contains the MAC address to be used
and if it doesn't exist an appropriate generated address will be stored
in this file and a subsequent SET MAC invocation specifying the same
file will use the value stored in the file rather than generating a new
MAC.
As discussed in #317
The project migration process from VS2008 to VS2015 doesn't bring in
project/solution wide migration compile defines that are introduced in
Visual Studio Community's migration which adds _USING_V110_SDK71.
This affects source modules which explicitly don't inherit project wide
defines. The compile of pthread.c (in various projects) is such a case.
Multiple devices sharing the same pool of fixed and/or vector addresses
need to properly account for earlier devices that may have already consumed
available fixed addresses or vectors.
Recent enhancements to idle/infinite loop detection generalized handling
of detecting 'loop to self' cases. This was done without considering that
some instructions have side effects (i.e. change other state like the stack
pointer) and thus aren't merely loop to self cases.
This problem was reported in #315
Also changed how interrupts are generated. When a line changes state
and interrupt should be generated. Once this is read no further
notification should be posted. If no characters are written in a
record the DTC should transition to IDLE state.
These changes facilitate more robust parameter type checking and helps
to identify unexpected coding errors.
Most simulators can now also be compiled with a C++ compiler without
warnings.
Additionally, these changes have also been configured to facilitate easier
backporting of simulator and device simulation modules to run under the
simh v3.9+ SCP framework.
The processing of initialization commands improperly attempted to initialize
all controllers AND these attempts (for controllers beyond 0) referenced
beyond the bounds of the unit array. This problem was reported in issue #309
The SHOW FEATURES will enumerate all devices in a simulator and for each of
them display the device specific description if one is available.
This change allows the description to be optionally visible for a single device
displayed with SHOW DEVICE.
When a mix of Massbus devices are configured with some enabled and
others disabled, the MBA's need to be allocated and properly configured
in the desired preferred order (RP, TU, RS). On the PDP11, this interacts
with auto-configure since the RH devices are visible in the Unibus I/O
page. On the PDP11 the second Massbus device can only be configured
if the TM device is disabled since the auto-configure assigned vectors
overlap for RHB and TM.
Problem originally reported in #301.
Users wanting to build simulators with locally build dependent packages or
packages provided by an unsupported package management system can
override where this procedure looks for include files and/or libraries.
Overrides can be specified by define exported environment variables or
GNU make command line arguments which specify INCLUDES and/or LIBRARIES.
Each of these, if specified, must be the complete list include directories
or library directories that should be used with each element separated by
colons. (i.e. INCLUDES=/usr/include/:/usr/local/include/:...)
Binaries built with unsupported library components will have a 'unsupported' tag
in the output of the SHOW VERSION command.
Observations made about NVR behavior on real hardware:
1) Aligned writes only affect a single RAM location
without regard to the size of write, so no double
pumping on writes.
2) Unaligned (offset 3) writes do nothing without regard to size of the write
3) Unaligned (offset 1) write 0 to the next higher NVR RAM location.
4) Longword aligned and Unaligned (offset 3) reads return the same NVR RAM
value in the the upper and lower words of the result.
5) Unaligned (offset 1) reads reference the next higher NVR RAM cell for
word and longword reads.
- Fix write behavior to match hardware.
- Fix read behavior to double pump word values for all unaligned word and longword
reads.
The previous change in handling or SCPE_EXPECT transformed it to SCPE_OK
to avoid unexpected exiting or condition trapping. This didn't allow the
SCPE_EXPECT reason to be display if verbose mode was on.
- In VMS mode, the day and month have to behave correctly to map the
current day of year to the equivalent day of year in 1982
- The month maintained and returned by the watch chip has January as 1
while the tm_mon field in the 'struct tm' has 0 for January.
