General remarks

Installation

A disk images for XXDP V2.2 and V2.5 are available from bitsavers
http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/bits/DEC/pdp11/discimages/rl02

         xxdp22.rl02.gz
         xxdp25.rl02.gz

Download, unpack and copy the disk images (*.dsk), e.g.

       cd $RETROBASE/tools/oskit/xxdp_rl

       disk_path=http://bitsavers.trailing-edge.com/bits/DEC/pdp11/discimages
       wget $disk_path/rl02/xxdp22.rl02.gz
       wget $disk_path/rl02/xxdp25.rl02.gz

       gunzip -c xxdp22.rl02.gz > xxdp22.dsk
       gunzip -c xxdp25.rl02.gz > xxdp25.dsk

Usage

• Start disk imge in SimH simulator (see section SimH in w11a_os_guide)

       pdp11 xxdp22_rl_boot.scmd
       pdp11 xxdp25_rl_boot.scmd
  

  or on w11a (see section Rlink in w11a_os_guide)

       ti_w11 <opt> @xxdp22_rl_boot.tcl
       ti_w11 <opt> @xxdp25_rl_boot.tcl
  

  where <opt> is the proper option set for the board.

• Hit <ENTER> in the xterm window to connect to SimH or backend server. The boot dialog in the console xterm window will look like (required input is in {..}, with {<CR>} denoting a carriage return.

     XXDP V2.2 boot dialog:
  
       CHMDLD0 XXDP+ DL MONITOR
       BOOTED VIA UNIT 0
       28K UNIBUS SYSTEM
  
       ENTER DATE (DD-MMM-YY): {10-jan-85}
  
       RESTART ADDR: 152010
       THIS IS XXDP+.  TYPE "H" OR "H/L" FOR HELP.
  
       .
  

  XXDP V2.5 boot dialog:

       BOOTING UP XXDP-XM EXTENDED MONITOR
  
       XXDP-XM EXTENDED MONITOR - XXDP V2.5
       REVISION: F0
       BOOTED FROM DL0
       124KW OF MEMORY
       UNIBUS SYSTEM
  
       RESTART ADDRESS: 152000
       TYPE "H" FOR HELP !
  
       .
  
     Now you are at the XXDP prompt '.' and can exercise the system:
  
       . {H}
         --> will print help
       . {D}
         --> will list the files
       . {R EKBAD0}
         --> will run the 'PDP 11/70 cpu diagnostic part 1'
  

  There is no halt or shutdown command, just terminate the simulator or backend server session.
