- Unique I/O configuration for Les Bird's Graphics/Sound/Joystick Module has been removed because the module now conforms to generic MSX port conventions.
- Implement Interrupt Mode 2 (Mode 1 is still default)
- Implement interrupt driven keyboard support
- Improve UART keyboard driver to support interrupt driven flow control
- Rearranged HBIOS code to improve colocation of related code.
- Implemented macros to improve control over assembly diagnostic output.
- Improved handling of diagnostic LEDs.
- Improved application boot bank management.
- Implemented application boot for Z280 systems.
- Moved Z280_BNKSEL into proxy.
-
- If enabled by AUTOCON config setting, you can press <space> at any character device to take over the console at the boot loader prompt.
- Correction to SIOSEEK documentation in System Guide. Thanks and credit to Martin R.
- Detect CTS at startup to ensure it is asserted. If not, disable hardware flow control to avoid stalling the console at boot. Only for UART driver because this is the only place it is currently relevant.
- The build process was enhanced by Dean Jenkins to support the Raspberry Pi. Note that the Propeller firmware will not be generated by a RPi build. See Issue #358.
- Initial support for USB storage via CH375/6.
Added a new driver category for DSKY (Display/Keypad) devices. Existing DSKY devices were converted into drivers ICM and PKD. These devices were previously DSKY and DSKYNG.
This removes substantial code duplication and recovers significant space in romldr and dbgmon.
- Added ability to enable VGARC and front panel in default config without I/O conflicts (does **not** support having both types of hardware present at the same time).
- Fixed documentation error in issue #345 reported by @MorfeoMatrixx.
- Floppy devices are now configured per-device so that each floppy drive can be different (e.g., first floppy is 3.5" and second floppy is 5.25").
- Removed need to use termination signal on floppy sector I/O.
Addresses issue #318
Added configuration setting VDAEMU_SERKBD which can be used to specify any serial unit # to be used as the keyboard for the video terminal. Default value is $FF which means to use the default hardware keyboard. All other values mean that terminal input is to come from corresponding serial unit #.
Also a couple more tweaks to the p-System boot volume.
