Notes on oskit: RSX-11M V3.1 system on RK05 volumes

General remarks

See notes in w11a_os_guide.md on

1. I/O emulation setup
2. FPGA Board setup
3. Rlink and Backend Server setup
4. SimH simulator setup
5. Legal terms

Also read README_license.txt which is included in the oskit !!

Installation

A disk set is available from http://www.retro11.de/data/oc_w11/oskits/rsx11m-31_rkset.tgz

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

       cd $RETROBASE/tools/oskit/rsx11m-31_rk
       rsx11m-31_rk_setup

Usage

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

      pdp11 rsx11m-31_rk_boot.scmd
  

  or ONLY IF YOU HAVE A VALID LICENSE on w11a (see section Rlink in w11a_os_guide)

       ti_w11 <opt> @rsx11m-31_rk_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:

         RSX-11M V3.1 BL22   65408K MAPPED
       >RED DK0:=SY0:
       >RED DK0:=LB0:
       >MOU DK0:SYSTEM0
       >@[1,2]STARTUP
  

  That RSX shows 65408K is a bug in V3.1. It should be 1920K the size of accessible memory in words. For configurations with 1 MByte and below the correct value is displayed, above a wrong one.

  This os version was released in December 1977, so it's no suprise that it is not y2k ready. So enter a date before prior to 2000.

  Now you are at the MCR prompt and can exercise the system.

  At the end is important to shutdown properly with a run $shutup. The simululaor (or the rlink backend) can be stopped when the CPU has halted.
