Previously, unexpected values might end up being set when using SET ENV
if there were trailing whitespace on the line being parsed. Any such white
space is now explicitly trimmed before the environment variable is set.
Once we do that, we need to provide a way to deliberately set an environment
variable with trailing spaces. This is now achieved by using a quoted string
value specified as:
SET ENV -S var="value "
The quotes are removed prior to setting the environment variable value.
The contents of the quoted string are parsed the same as EXPECT and SEND
arguments.
Previously, tmxr_set_line_unit() and tmxr_set_line_output_unit()
were being called in the attach routine. These probably belong
in the reset routine instead.
Adds a skeleton framework for CIO ("Common I/O") feature cards. The
first feature card to be implemented will be the "PORTS" serial MUX.
Part of this support involved reworking IRQ handling in the CPU. It
now respects both IRQ Vector and IPL.
This change also removes all 'assert(0)' calls from the simulator and
replaces them with generic "Simulator Error" halts. These should only
happen if there's a genuine logic error lurking somewhere.
This change is a major refactor of how DMA and the DUART interact.
DMA implementation can now be overridden by individual devices that
require DMA. Disk and Floppy both continue to use a generic DMA
implementation, but the DUART code replaces the generic DMA with its
own implementation that correctly rate-limits TX. Among other things,
this allows the simulator to work correctly with real serial
terminals. This functionality has been tested on an AT&T 5620 "Blit"
terminal, which can run the 'layers' windowing software from the
simulator.
Previously auto format detection first attempted a VHD open. If that
failed, it falls back to a SIMH open which uses C RTL fopen, fread, fwrite
and fclose. Now a RAW format open is attempted which will often
succeed, not only on CDROM devices, but most normal files can also
be opened in RAW mode which will to direct OS I/O (open, erad, write
and close or CreateFile, ReadFile, WriteFile, CloseHandle).
As discussed in #533
When the console is connected to a serial port or telnet sessions enable
speed setting, the bits being output are now paced a the desired speed.
Multi-line mux I/O is also correctly rate limited on all lines.
This should address the problems described in #545
Clock calibration normally takes several seconds to zero in on somewhat
accurate values for reasonable synchronization of simulated time to wall
clock time. Often this doesn't matter one way or another. However,
one thing which requires somewhat accurate clock calibration is the
pacing of output to serial ports on the host system. Pacing happens
at the configured bits per second rates as long as the simulators
instruction execution rate has been reasonably calibrated with respect
to wall clock time. A given host system will most likely simulate
instructions at the same rate from one run to the next, so running a
simulator for a little while and then examining the execution rate with
the SHOW CLOCK command can provide knowledge about the calibrated
execution rate which can be used to start a future simulator's execution
with a very good estimate of what the ultimate calibrated rate will be.
If the SHOW CLOCK shows simulator execution at 120,000,000 instructions
per second, and the simulated system has a simulated clock that runs at
60 hz, then the pre-calibrated values can be set with these commands:
sim> DEPOSIT INT-CLOCK TICK_SIZE_0 2000000
sim> DEPOSIT INT-CLOCK TICK_RATE_0 60
sim> DEPOSIT INT-CLOCK INTERNAL_TICK_SIZE 12000000
The INTERNAL_TIMER runs in the background whenever the simulator
doesn't have a calibrated timer running. It runs at 10 Hz.
- Add "SHOW STACK" support to CPU
- An off-by-one error in checking SDT length was fixed.
- not-present co-processor R/W should not set Bus timeout bit
Previously, only long delays that would transition the next clock
calibration would be coscheduled unless an explicit timer was
specified to coschedule with.
This may help with the problem discussed in #508
Under CYGWIN the conditional tests in the altairz80_sio.c source file for the
SIMH pseudo device's getHostsFilenamesCmd and resetSIMHInterfaceCmd
functions need to have UNIX_PLATFORM set to 1 - otherwise they do nothing!
With this fix, the HDIR host command from CP/M now displays a list of files
in host system's current directory under CYGWIN.
- New Commit-Id with Commit-Time
- Properly execute when the Win32-Development-Binaries needs to be cloned
- Properly limit parallel builds if the local system has more than 8 Threads
