Notes For V3.9 Notes For V3.9
The makefile now works for Linux and most Unix's. However, for Solaris The makefile now works for all *nix platforms and with cygwin and MinGW32
and MacOS, you must first export the OSTYPE environment variable: on Windows. It will automatically detect the availability of libpcap
components and build network capable simulators if they are available.
> export OSTYPE

- fixed SET VH LINES=n to correctly adjust the number

- fixed performance issue avoiding redundant polling
pdp11_xq.c: (Mark Pizzolato)
- Fixed missing information from save/restore which
caused operations to not complete correctly after
a restore until the OS reset the controller.
- Added address conflict check during attach.
- Fixed loopback processing to correctly handle forward packets.
- Fixed interrupt dispatch issue which caused delivered packets
(in and out) to sometimes not interrupt the CPU after processing.
- Fixed the SCP visibile SA registers to always display the
ROM mac address, even after it is changed by SET XQ MAC=.
- Added changes so that the Console DELQA diagnostic (>>>TEST 82)
will succeed.
- Added DELQA-T (aka DELQA Plus) device emulation support.
- Added dropped frame statistics to record when the receiver discards
received packets due to the receiver being disabled, or due to the
XQ device's packet receive queue being full.
- Fixed bug in receive processing when we're not polling. This could
cause receive processing to never be activated again if we don't
read all available packets via eth_read each time we get the
opportunity.
- Added the ability to Coalesce received packet interrupts. This
is enabled by SET XQ POLL=DELAY=nnn where nnn is a number of
microseconds to delay the triggering of an interrupt when a packet
is received.
- Added SET XQ POLL=DISABLE (aka SET XQ POLL=0) to operate without
polling for packet read completion.
- Changed the sanity and id timer mechanisms to use a separate timer
unit so that transmit and recieve activities can be dealt with
by the normal xq_svc routine.
Dynamically determine the timer polling rate based on the
calibrated tmr_poll and clk_tps values of the simulator.
- Enabled the SET XQ POLL to be meaningful if the simulator currently
doesn't support idling.
- Changed xq_debug_setup to use sim_debug instead of printf so that
all debug output goes to the same place.
- Restored the call to xq_svc after all successful calls to eth_write
to allow receive processing to happen before the next event
service time. This must have been inadvertently commented out
while other things were being tested.
pdp11_xu.c: (Mark Pizzolato)
- Added SHOW XU FILTERS modifier (Dave Hittner)
- Corrected SELFTEST command, enabling use by VMS 3.7, VMS 4.7, and Ultrix 1.1 (Dave Hittner)
- Added address conflict check during attach.
- Added loopback processing support
- Fixed the fact that no broadcast packets were received by the DEUNA
- Fixed transmitted packets to have the correct source MAC address.
- Fixed incorrect address filter setting calling eth_filter().
