- 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.
- was more a hack than a design; inheritance stack now cleaner
- RtclRw11Unit: drop fpCpu, use added Cpu()=0 instead
- RtclRw11UnitBase: add TUV,TB; add TUV* ObjUV(); inherit from TB
- RtclRw11Unit(Disk|Stream|Tape|Term): define ObjUV();inherit from RtclRw11Unit
- RtclRw11Unit(dev): inherit from RtclRw11UnitBase
- document urjtag build (jtag in Ubuntu 16.04 is broken)
- add environment sanity wrappers for acroread,awk,firefox to ensure
proper operation of vivado under Ubuntu 16.04
- Vivado is used with -fsm_extraction one_hot. Starting with Vivado 2016.3
this triggers fsm recognition and re-coding of two gray counter modules.
This not only defeats the purpose of the gray coded counter, it also
caused some constraints to fail. Added attributes to prevent fsm extraction
- the logic of `connect_hw_server` and `get_hw_servers` changed after Vivado
2015.1. The `make <design>.vconfig` command worked up to Vivado 2016.2 due
to some recovery mechanism, and finally broke with 2016.3. Fixed the
call to `get_hw_servers`.
- pdp11_sequencer.vhd: CPUERR cleared by CRESET
- mminki.mac: added, procedure to initialize MMU, kernel I space only
- test_w11a_cpuerr.tcl: added, test cpuerr register
- added more README's
- editorial changes
- xsim support complete (but many issues to be resolved yet)
- Added configurable w11a cache
- Removed some never documented and now strategically obsolete designs
rbus->ibus window. Replaces with a 4k word window for whole IO page.
- utilize rlink protocol version 4 features in w11a backend
- use attn notifies to dispatch attn handlers
- use larger blocks (7*512 rather 1*512 bytes) for rdma transfers
- use labo and merge csr updates with last block transfer
- this combined reduces the number of round trips by a factor 2 to 3,
and in some cases the throughput accordingly.
- Goals for rlink v4
- 16 bit addresses (instead of 8 bit)
- more robust encoding, support for error recovery at transport level
- add features to reduce round trips
- improved attention handling
- new 'list abort' command
- For further details see README_Rlink_V4.txt
- use own C++ based tcl shell tclshcpp instead of tclsh
divisor or quotient were the largest negative integer (100000 or -32768).
This is corrected now, for details see ECO-026-div.txt
- some minor updates and fixes to support scripts
- xtwi usage and XTWI_PATH setup explained in INSTALL.txt
- after 0.581: documentation updates, no functional changes
- from 0.5 -> 0.6:
- revised ibus and rbus protocol; backend server rewritten; Nexys3 port;
Cypress Fx2 support; LP11,PC11 support
