- Credit and thanks to Martin R for providing a substantial list of suggested fixes and improvements to the User Guide. I have done my best to address them -- others will require more time and will hopefully be addressed in the future.
- 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 naming of ZZRCC was incorrectly ZZRC. Corrected.
- Max Scane has provided a small bug fix for CLRDIR.
- Minor build updates for new HTalk utility.
- Based on reports from Martin R, the FDC detection algorithm has been updated to try reading the FDC MSR register twice to try and get the desired value of 0x80.
- Dan Werner's ESP board for Duodyne is working well, so the default Duodyne config has been changed to automatically detect this board.
The EtchedPixels floppy disk controller is known by the identifier
'FDMODE_EPFDC', but the comments in the Config subdirectory have an
incorrect reference to 'EPWDC'. This fix updates the comments to use the
correct name.
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.
- The use of hardware reset has been improved such that it is generally only used at initial boot up.
- Minor improvements to CF card detection and initialization.
- Implement a simple wait mechanism to accommodate the startup time of the RC2014 SD Pico module.
- Front panel I/O port for SC series of systems has been moved to 0x00 which is consistent with all other systems and avoids some I/O conflicts.
- Set the default CPUOSC to 8MHz (default value in the project's
documentation), updated the User Guide
- Set the FDD controller to ZETA2 - regression introduced in bd664c3
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.
I got a very nice email from Eluan Miranda. He pointed out a few inconsistencies in the video and audio driver configurations. I made a few adjustments to clean things up.
