- use std::function instead of boost
- use c++11 lambda instead of boost::bind in most cases
- use std::bind in few cases where this deems more readable
- use move semantics for passing of function objects
- sfs_gsim_core: new common simulation core
- {dcm,s6_cmt,s7_cmt}_sfs_gsim: use now sfs_gsim_core
- s7_cmt_sfs_tb: removed, use now sfs_gsim_core
- rtl/bplib/*/tb/tb_*: use now sfs_gsim_core
- tst_serloop/nexys*/tb/tb_tst_serloop*_n*: use now sfs_gsim_core
- using in tcl 8.6 a timed `after` together with `tclreadline` injects
spurious text of the form `after#nnn` into the readline input buffer.
- the `rw11/shell` overloads `unknown`, inviting for a bloody HACK which
simply checks for such prefixes, scrubs them, and retries the command.
- ibdr_maxisys: add IDEC port, connect to EXTEVT of KW11P
- sys_w11a_*.vhd: use DM_STAT_EXP; IDEC to maxisys; setup PERFEXT
- kw11p and dmpcnt now fully setup
- pdp11_sys70: drop ITIMER,DM_STAT_DP, use DM_STAT_EXP, add PERFEXT port
- pdp11_sequencer: drop ITIMER port, use DM_STAT_SE.itimer
- sys_w11a_*.vhd: use DM_STAT_EXP
- some re-wiring, no functional change to CPU or IO system
- s3_sram_memctl: drop superfluous idata_cei=1 in s_write2
- arty_bram/tb/tbrun.yml: retire mem70 - now in tbcpu
- tst_sram.vhd: allow AWIDTH=17; sstat_rbf_awidth instead of _wide
- tcl/tst_sram/*.tcl: 17bit support; use sstat(awidth); add isnarrow
- rtl/vlib/rutil.vhd: added package, with imin helper function
- 99-retro-usb-permissions.rules renamed to 90-retro-usb-permissions.rules
- 91-retro-usb-latency.rules: udev rule to enforce low latency for FDTI USB UART
- 92-retro-usb-persistent.rules: udev rule for persistent device names
- Note:
- for all FTDI USB-UART it is essential to set them to `low latency` mode.
That was default for linux kernels 2.6.32 to 4.4.52. Since about March
2017 one gets kernels with 16 ms default latency again, thanks to
kernel patch 9589541. For newer systems it is essential to install the
udev rule which automatically sets low latency.
