When using the Z2 memory manager, if the HBIOS exceeds 16K, RTCDEFVAL will not be accessible prior to programming the Z2 memory bank registers. In this corner case the RTC latch could be mis-programmed. This commit introduces a workaround.
- ACIA driver was not properly returning ZF to indicate if it handled an interrupt.
- APPBOOT was failing on ROMless systems because it was copying the HBIOS code overtop of itself.
- Fix ensures that the speaker control bit is set the same as it was initially after playing a tone.
- Reserve 2 bytes in the proxy for a platform dependent tick counter value. Currently for HEATH platform.
- Added support for Duodyne Multi-IO board
- Added support for Duodyne Zilog-IO board
- Added SUPCTS equate in hbios.asm to allow selectively adding code to suppress use of CTS during HBIOS boot
- Added reference in User Guide to Bruce Hall's Assembly Language Programming document
- 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.
Driver Device Type ID's have been stored in the upper nibble. However, running out of ID's, I have changed them to occupy the entire byte.
This is a breaking change, so I have updated the minor version number to maintain integrity between components. So, v3.3 will never become a stable release and I am moving directly to v3.4.
- 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.
- Updated S100 Monitor launch code to warn user if console will be directed to S100 bus vs. active on-board UART.
- Updated Duodyne early boot to add a delay to stabilize the boot process. This is temporary and needs to be further investigated.
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.
- Modified the Disk Device function call (DIODEVICE) to provide new attributes related to disk size and removability.
- Leveraged API change to allow handling drive assignment differently depending on ATAPI vs. ATA interface.
IMM Driver has rational timeouts now. It also lights the MG014 LED during activity.
The PPA skeleton just attempts to determine if the PPA interface is present. It does not attempt any I/O.
- 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.
If serial hardware flow control is enabled, but not working, then a system will appear dead because it won't send any data to the host computer. This change suppresses hardware flow control during boot just to ensure that boot messages can make it to the serial console. This will only be effective for serial interfaces that support dynamic management of HFC.
Edge case where the CPU speed detection routine would overflow in a fast emulator and return a speed of 0.000 MHz. Modified to fail back to the default CPU speed from the config file if an overflow occurs.
- Revamped CTC detection algorithm hoping to handle problem XRBR is having
- Fixed typo in dynamic CPU speed test that caused it to not be properly recorded/reported (credit XRBR)
- Allow use of DEL/RUBOUT keys as backspace in ROM Loader and Debug Monitor
