Removed the test for the pidp8i-test -v flag. It was added in 20170401 with the intent of printing the software configuration string and exiting, but it no longer works, if it ever did. check-in: 24803b41aa user: tangent tags: trunk

Add more debug output to os8-progtest Refine basic-games.yml because a race condition broke it on M2 Macs. I think this refinement will be definitive. Fingers crossed. check-in: c124f7a6e7 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Here is the cycle-realistic version. For some reason, Fossil is not picking up some changes to pidp8i.h as well. This is needed in pidp8i.h: typedef enum { pft_stopped, /* the cpu is not running */ pft_running, /* the cpu is running */ pft_go, /* the cpu is (re-) starting from being stopped */ pft_exit /* exit(ing) SIMH */ } pidp8i_flow_t; check-in: 03fb9d8dc5 user: stevet tags: cycle-realistic

First apparently working version of the cycle-realistic PiDP-8/I. This makes the Sing Step switch on the PiDP-8/I front panel behave the same as on a real -8 (subject to a minor risk that MA and MB may not be 100% correct in all major states). See the thread "New, experimental, (hopefully) cycle-realistic version of the PiDP-8/I" in the user group for more information about how to use it. check-in: 241d799d53 user: stevet tags: cycle-realistic

Calling udevadm from the "make install-system" target via a relative path since the upstream OSes keep moving it about. It's been found in /sbin, /bin and /usr/bin! check-in: 870c65f831 user: tangent tags: trunk

First version of fixes. "Why are the ILS equations now not symmetrical excepting the scaling factor?" https://tangentsoft.com/pidp8i/tktview?name=135d14a0c2 "Extremely low throttle values cause blinky display" https://tangentsoft.com/pidp8i/tktview?name=b8d9865f31 Perhaps also "ILS brightness takes seconds to settle at low throttle values" https://tangentsoft.com/pidp8i/tktview?name=26cc6b3614 In the initial test version I deliberately exaggerated the rise and decay delays just so that people testing this are convinced this is really still doing a "lamp" simulation. Perhaps one should make those settings user configurable anyway. Still to do: fix some code indentation, check if there are comments that are no longer describing the current code, check if the timing of the switch management is still ok. Leaf check-in: 44e6476477 user: HBEggenstein tags: led-update-fixes
00:09
Begin branch to fix some LED update issues: -prevent excessive undersampling of the LED states especially with high (unthrottled) instructions-per-second rates -speed up the ILS thread by reducing the number of GPIO switching -fix a bug in the calculation of the target brightness when the number of sampled instructions is rel. low (say < 100) -improve double buffering of LED "display" : swap displays only when updates were made (helps with extremly aggressive throttling) check-in: febe31baea user: HBEggenstein tags: led-update-fixes

in order to check whether a deposit is made to nonexistent memory, the memory size need to be passed now in the handle_flow_control_switches function. Now the code even compiles.. Leaf check-in: 01aa183fda user: HBEggenstein tags: fix-dep-exam-ignore-if

I2CB: build process, documentation improvements As this feature is still experimental and to allow the continuous integration to build the simh executable without th installed dependencies (libi2cd), the I2CB device logic is not included in the build by default for now, but configure offers the --i2c-bridge option to enable it, provided the libi2cd lib and header file can be found. Leaf check-in: 36a77478e0 user: HBEggenstein tags: i2c-bridge-device
2021-10-18
07:54
I2CB: reformatted source code, added some documentation, changed (C) remark as per Warren Young's feedback check-in: 3a58bc038e user: HBEggenstein tags: i2c-bridge-device
00:38
Restored a space present in an upstream SIMH file to prevent a pointless merge conflict. check-in: fab3f7655b user: tangent tags: i2c-bridge-device
00:25
Began a new ChangeLog entry with this branch's contribution as its first entry. check-in: bf5d1b8113 user: tangent tags: i2c-bridge-device

Removed the "PiDP add" and "PiDP end" comments. Those markers are only for injections into upstream files; this one's new. check-in: 151d16011d user: tangent tags: i2c-bridge-device

Initial commit to start a branch exploring the idea of having a generic SIMH device that will forward IOT instructions for configurable PDP-8 devices so they can be implemented on external hardware, typically a microcontroller connected to the host via I2C. This could be used for rapid prototyping of either historical device emulation or emulating custom I/O logic. check-in: fbcfafaf43 user: HBEggenstein tags: i2c-bridge-device

Changed the way "bosi prepare" handles sshd first start to use a Raspberry Pi specific mechanism that [https://groups.google.com/g/pidp-8/c/qCVLKZoJPkU/m/TLqY2IkaBAAJ | reportedly regenerates the shredded keys]. check-in: 02c35e52bf user: tangent tags: trunk

Updated to the latest SIMH to fix a problem with TSS/8 booting. It seems they updated some of the device handling since the Feb 3 update we did just prior to the current stable release. check-in: f02ebe72df user: tangent tags: trunk
2021-04-05

Tweaks to the U/W FOCAL manual supplement's section on getting program text in, following with the wiki edit to the more generic "Getting Text In" doc. check-in: 19b97405ed user: tangent tags: trunk
2021-04-01
22:07
Added a patch to the build of U/W FOCAL. It puts code that clears EAE Mode B (and copes appropriately with other PDP-8 Family members that don't have EAE Mode B) into a block of initialization code reserved for "CLEAR ANNOYING FLAGS". This should resolve bug 025575a170. check-in: 9f44dd87b8 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

08:49
Adjustments to the build advice in the readme to track the changes made to "bosi build". check-in: 218401a205 user: tangent tags: trunk

Added missing ;; in one of the case statements in bosi check-in: 247961207f user: tangent tags: trunk

Merged yet more changes for v20210214 in Leaf check-in: 73038fadf8 user: tangent tags: release, v20210214
06:57
Reworked the logic in the new "bosi build nls" code so it copies any missing images from UV, rather than blindly copy all of them only when the first one is missing. This lets you re-run the script later, relying on it to fill in the gaps before starting on the expensive parts of the build. check-in: 5ec88693ac user: tangent tags: trunk
06:53
Fixed a misplaced curly brace in previous check-in: 59e778933e user: tangent tags: trunk
06:51
Added the "nls" parameter to "bosi build" so the single-core build can share the images synced as unversioned content up to the public server rather than need to rebuild them. This also clones the images down as part of the repo for the first time, so the user has a more complete clone of the repo. check-in: 3d933f656d user: tangent tags: trunk
06:34
Moved the Python 3 library stuff back up in bosi from "build" to "init" step again after the "sudo make install" step failed, since that may need to run one of the class simh or class os8script Python programs that depend on one of these as root. Using platform binary packages rather than pip3 user packages. check-in: 3a02a9163b user: tangent tags: trunk
03:50
Moved the pip3 install command down from "bosi init" into "bosi build" so it's run as the pidp8i user, not as root. It does us no good to have the Python libraries installed for use by root! check-in: e4a27760c4 user: tangent tags: trunk
03:31
Merged still more trunk tweaks in check-in: 280c662a13 user: tangent tags: release, v20210214
03:31
Moved the 8GB image size requirement up after reflecting on the prior change. check-in: 9cac6262d6 user: tangent tags: trunk
03:17
The "bosi shrink" process roached the SD card, and I can't be bothered to figure out why. It's a minor optimization, not worth spending the time on, given that you have to go out of your way to find something smaller than 8GB and end up paying about as much for it when you do find one. I'm therefore betting that almost no one is actually trying to use a 4GB card, the only thing smaller that could possibly work, since even with the shrink, the finished image wouldn't fit on a 2GB card. check-in: d79a842547 user: tangent tags: trunk
02:42
Swapped commands in "sudo time" constructs in bosi so we use the calling shell's builtin version instead of /usr/bin/time, since at least on macOS, the builtin's output is clearer. Tweaked the prior commands to ensure that we don't count the time taken while sudo is blocking waiting for a psssword input against the time taken by the elevated command. check-in: 1ef732c32c user: tangent tags: trunk

Updated "stretch" to "buster" in tools/bosi check-in: f0461538d2 user: tangent tags: trunk

00:02
Upped minimum SD card requirement from 2GB to 8GB after "bosi init" failed with an out-of-space message on the "apt upgrade" step, even after removing the biggest disk hogs we can most do without. The Foundation recommends 8GB, so we now do, too. check-in: 0136f1193f user: tangent tags: trunk

Reworked the way the Python missing module detection stuff works so it generates the proper module names on Debian Buster. Dropped recommendation of easy_install (semi-obsolete) and rewrote the advice it emits to be a bit clearer. check-in: 76133aacd0 user: tangent tags: trunk

"file link" doesn't exist in Jim Tcl, so the new symlink recreation stuff doesn't work when configured without "real" tclsh available. check-in: 1eb3e88ec3 user: tangent tags: trunk
23:29
tools/autosetup-update now removes the contents of autosetup/* before doing its work so we track upstream deletions properly. This results in a lot of files being deleted, but it looks like it's a result of files being merged, rather than removal of functionality. The configure script appears to run still... check-in: 2dbb85383b user: tangent tags: trunk
23:08
Fix for c23c91bdd. Futil was matching on the size of the file being edited. Now the regex that skips over the file has been refined. check-in: e96b7f3637 user: poetnerd tags: trunk
22:56
Year fix in ChangeLog: it's 2021 now, really! check-in: 77a8cc35a2 user: tangent tags: trunk

Merged SIMH updates down to trunk. check-in: 5dedd3ca5d user: tangent tags: trunk

Cherrypicked the last two changes on the bogus file-renaming branch down to trunk. check-in: 25d04173ec user: tangent tags: trunk

Redo of [e0af34dd55] atop fixed parent. check-in: a38bb07eca user: tangent tags: trunk

Retry commit [ccb4c54bb2], without the inadvertent reversion of the Advent filename case folding fixes. check-in: d02c0ede5a user: tangent tags: trunk
21:55
Removed the last remaining symlinks, being those for CC8's init.h and libc.h files, which CC8 always looks for in the CWD, yet which need to exist in 3 different places. Creating symlinks for the other two at configure time so we no longer need those making checkouts to "fossil set allow-symlnks 1" to avoid screwiness. Closed-Leaf check-in: 3fcbc85340 user: tangent tags: file-renaming
21:21
Added tools/simh-bisect.in to INFILES in Makefile.in so clean builds and such work properly. (Probably harmless, but no point letting that list drift from the corresponding on in auto.def.) check-in: 8197e6123d user: tangent tags: file-renaming
21:10
Renamed the old .agignore files to .ignore. (This is why we couldn't commit them to the repo at the same time as previous: does Fossil remove before rename, or vice versa?) check-in: e0af34dd55 user: tangent tags: file-renaming
21:09
Removed the .ignore symlnks. (Purposefully separate from next step, so there isn't a naming conflict.) check-in: ccb4c54bb2 user: tangent tags: file-renaming
20:53
Merged trunk in Leaf check-in: d022dae222 user: tangent tags: simh-update

Several cleanups to the "make clean" target: removing bin/*.rk05 generically rather than a long list of explicit names, so we always remove everything we built; removed several redundant TU56 entries since we were already removing bin/*.tu56 for the same reason; and removed a few generated files from the repo so they don't show up as MISSING after a "make clean". If these latter aren't being regenerated properly after being removed, that's a reconfig issue, not a reason to check the last generated version in. check-in: 44ace29ebe user: tangent tags: trunk
06:32
Lowercased all the file names in pspec/advent.pspec to match their new case in the repo. Without this, the build only succeeds on systems with case-insensitive filesystems like macOS, and then only with the default FS options. check-in: c425495e2c user: tangent tags: trunk
06:01
The simh-update tool could put diffs for non-managed files into the patch, which would complicate patch application. This is especially problematic in bisecting, since it increases the "footprint" of the patch needlessly, increasing the risk of bad merges on switching versions in place. check-in: 7e2e92698e user: tangent tags: simh-update
05:26
Merged trunk changes in so I can run simh-bisect on the branch. check-in: 98b3c85a50 user: tangent tags: simh-update
04:27
New tool: simh-bisect, a companion to simh-update for bisecting upstream SIMH changes against our local PiDP-8/I patches. check-in: 0a19e8889c user: tangent tags: trunk
03:57
New SIMH had extra whitespace in attach output. One place in os8script was not robust about that. Fixed now. check-in: 40717103a9 user: poetnerd tags: simh-update
03:28
Sync advent sources from new upstream at poetnerd.com: Source names are in lower case. There are a couple typos fixed: advent.dc and getwrd.ra. There is a runad.bi script, but it appears incompatible with the version of BATCH we have. There is also a clear.bi script, but it's also probably out of sync with reality. check-in: 1d9cb9aa3e user: poetnerd tags: trunk
00:51
Updated Autosetup to 0.7.0+ check-in: 5d15b9ec74 user: tangent tags: simh-update

Updated ChangeLog for the imminent release check-in: 600a9459a8 user: tangent tags: simh-update

New release policy: point at the release branch for released version file and directory links, using trunk only for the prerelease version notes. check-in: c5b5ced48b user: tangent tags: simh-update
00:41
Updated SIMH to GH commit 2f66e74c506420959d2591ffd1700a9b58d59f28. EDIT: Moved to the simh-update branch since it breaks clean builds. (Worked fine prior to commit due to preexisting RK05 and TU56 media that didn't get rebuilt as part of testing.) check-in: e3aba3706e user: tangent tags: simh-update

Markdown improvements to the Adventure dir's readme check-in: ffe6313b33 user: tangent tags: trunk
23:10
Fixed a problem with LOAD_ADD + EXAM interactions due to use of IR instead of MB register in the tail end of the PDP-8 CPU instruction decoding loop. We use IR instead high up in the loop for an early display update, but that's because MB isn't settled yet. Without this, you can get bogus MB displays, per bug [7ae7a73744c9c0], which this closes. check-in: 709bc3a7f6 user: tangent tags: trunk

Fixed build of basic-games.tu56. Wasn't supposed to install the README.md file. The blow-out was benign on Mac build, but kicked out other files on the Pi build. It should have been fixed like this long ago. TODO: Figure out why the state machine in os8-cp couldn't recover as easily in the pi build. check-in: bfbf64133a user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Added "Simplifying Boot and Login" section to the top-level README.md file. check-in: f7c4a027ba user: tangent tags: trunk
19:28
Added named anchors to several more sections in README.md, and moved them to the end of the header so they a) don't harm readability in text form as much; and b) link you to the actual header line, not to a prior empty paragraph. check-in: fee8b21e16 user: tangent tags: trunk
19:15
Moved the sshd config instructions into doc/OS-images.md, since README.md primarily covers the build-from-source option, where the step isn't actually necessary. Since we've given out links to this section of README.md multiple times on the mailing list, kept a forwarding link to it in case someone follows one of those links. check-in: 5bc5a272b9 user: tangent tags: trunk

Tightened up the top-level README.md file some more. check-in: 4befb5ef3c user: tangent tags: trunk

os8script class document is complete. The demo program is moved to its permanent location. check-in: 77a525a884 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Changed os8script.check_and_run to have an optional replies arg. Fleshed out and commented the demo program. Cleaned up document. TODO: 1. move the demo to its permanent home. 2. Write the documentation to point to it. 3. The proofreading, grammar, etc. check-in: 25dc789408 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Created a demo program for the os8script class. Along the way I realized that the housekeeping was needlessly complex, and should be added to the os8script class. By way of a test I moved cleanup code from os8-progtest to os8script. The class document has moved forward but is still not ready. The example needs to be cleaned up, and the appropriate smoothings of best practices need to be documented: 1. The recommended os8.check_and_run method assumes you're running the command decoder, and needs to be taught about the arrays of responses. Otherwise: 2. The use of the response arrays requires calling os8.simh.os8_cmd to run commands. The use of send_string, send_command, and os8_cmd is not orthogonal, and isn't using the respnse arrays where it could. check-in: 23d51abbd5 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Snapshot. Almost, but not quite done. TODO: 1. Finish the narrative on how to write a complete program. 2. Confirm all the links work. 3. Completeness, style, and grammar check. check-in: 0a1d0ed404 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Documented testing regime, including the layers of the system, the existence proof of working lower layers, and the use of os8-progtest and make test. check-in: 116f6dba66 user: poetnerd tags: trunk
19:50
Add documentation of the --exitfirst option and the work-around for long output. check-in: 0c003f5ef9 user: poetnerd tags: trunk
19:15
I found a way to kick the basic games tests when they stall: Send a newline, and then cope with extra newlines in output. check-in: d2feb4a20c user: poetnerd tags: trunk
04:23
Added 'make test'. auto.def looks for tests for the packages it builds. Makefile runs them. Along the way I learned that tests with lots of output like basic-games:snoopy and basic-games:bunny sometimes randomly hang up. It looks like pexpect is returning a partial read on the output. I've experimented with the maxread argument to pexpect spawn, and with pausing for a second between tests. But the tests are still flaky. For this snapshot I've got them commented out of basic-games.yml while I ponder reponses. Also fixed a mistake I made in -x option: I wasn't calling clean_quit to exit and so I was leaving temp files. check-in: f212194966 user: poetnerd tags: trunk
03:02
Add --exitfirst, -x to exit with -1 status on FIRST failure. This will be useful when we want to run all tests but blow out if one fails. Let's blow out on the first failure. check-in: a8991d9a8a user: poetnerd tags: trunk
02:40
os8-run manages context. We do not need resume. It was commented out of dist-rk05.os8. Deleted now. It is now deleted from src-rk05.os8. This may rid us of a race condition where we're doing resume but don't need to. check-in: e92c4bb634 user: poetnerd tags: trunk
2020-12-04

Forgot the license info in os8-progtest.md. Fixed now. check-in: 09ac12b129 user: poetnerd tags: trunk
05:01
I must have gotten confused with the merge of trunk. I thought I moved the tests to scripts/os8-progtest/. Now they're moved for real. Next step in production: shift os8-progtest to os8-progtest.in so we parameterize the Python version. check-in: b5df9631af user: poetnerd tags: trunk
04:51
Further cleanup to make os8-progtest ready for production use: 1. Change failure to print failure and continue on to other tests. 2. Correct comments about escape characters. 3. Move the test .yml files from tools/testing to scripts/os8-progtest. 4. Add a --srcdir option, and properly expand the path for finding the test files. 5. Document usage of the program and creation of the state machine files in doc/os8-progtest.md check-in: 11b7f30c67 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Converted the tests for Python modules in auto.def to a loop over the module names, then added pyyaml to that list. check-in: 41c08ee670 user: tangent tags: trunk
17:48
Added ability to process multiple tests on command. Removed superfluous "program" item in test files. Added test of fib to cc8. check-in: 7d40ec51ed user: poetnerd tags: trunk
16:53
Added a "config" parameter, and if config contains "slow" then wait .05 seconds between sending each character. This enables interaction with uwfocal without overrunning keyboard buffer. This structure can be expanded... check-in: ed4d5840ec user: poetnerd tags: trunk
03:20
Converted os8-progtest to use files. Bit the bullet and used YAML. YAML is now a prereq. (I have not yet added the prereq code to auto.def.) check-in: b37034d41d user: poetnerd tags: trunk

04:55
Eliminate redundant line of verbose output. check-in: 4ebe4ee822 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Fixed a missing backtick and a typo. Should fix the rendering of the last couple pages of this doc. check-in: e11923f83d user: poetnerd tags: trunk
06:17
Early snapshot. Beginnings of a document of the os8script.py API. Probably begin with a paste-in of the comments from the code. Currently consists of a reminder how I open coded the OCOMP command state machine. check-in: 452f1a6dba user: poetnerd tags: trunk
05:50
Since we can print the File not found error, we should be able to print the user error output similarly. check-in: 1472e398b9 user: poetnerd tags: trunk
05:38
code cleanup: Pulled common test and run code from ocomp, pal8 and os8 commands into a single method. This also fixes that pal8 and ocomp tested for simh context too late to be useful Eliminated redundant testing of results. Taught ocomp how to report WHICH file is not found (using code from pal8_command I'd forgotton I had.) Note that there STILL seems to be a race condition in the os8 command with regards to ^C out of some commands. I tried to chase it down but have not yet found it. check-in: aeb9b2026e user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Improved os8pkg verify command. Uses new `ocomp` os8-run command. Documentation is updated for both tools. Test script for the ocomp command.

Amend all command to not run include. Move build so that it will follow deps and precent install when all command is run. check-in: 132c4aa095 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
04:53
A bit of cleanup to the internal structure of main: Startup of os8script runner is make into a subroutine that's called once when needed. A new command, "build" has been added that runs either the build: section, or performs os8-run on the default builder script. check-in: 6938c19e1f user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg

Removed uwfocal-4e-[12].tu56 binary blobs. Switched to managing uwfocal in src/uwfocal, controlled by scripts/pspec/uwfocal.papec. We build UWF16K.BN and UWF16K.SV. We copy more documentation in now. There is other stuff we could build. But that is for another day. check-in: a421a7ee91 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
00:21
Binary blob, local.tu56, and all its usage, and mention in docs has been removed because everything that was in it has been spun out to source-tree based implementations. check-in: 82a7a25b1c user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg

17:53
Forgot to ADD the focal69-tu56.os8 script. check-in: f35da76cbe user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
17:51
Reorganized calls to umount in v3d/dist-rk05.os8. This unearthed a bug: following a umount command with a cpto or cpfrom command would pause and then timeout. Root cause: os8_pip_to and os8_pip_from were unconditionally calling esc_to_simh, and then calling simh_cmd that would check context and call it only if necessary. Fixed. Also corrected comment naming os8_pip_from ans os8_pip_to, and added some more pass-in of debug status. Removed install of music into dist in preparation for conversion to pspec. Added test/cpto.os8 as test case for this bug fix. check-in: 11fc9182d0 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg

Credit upstream for focal69. Rename source files to accurately follow upstream. check-in: 2fe0f9d65f user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg

Move LC/UC batch scripts for v3d to source tree instead of local.tu56. Along the way discovered that UCSYS.BI for v3f/ock somehow was being used. Fixed now. check-in: 78df097f1c user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg

Moved vtedit from stuff media/os8/local.tu56 to a build from source package. We don't install the package. This check-in fixes the build system so that we actually build packages that are not used. bin/os8pkg install vtedit has been successfuly run. check-in: fe948b87e0 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg

02:22
Radically improved usability of os8pkg by changing how it does its work: 1. Eliminate the scripts command. 2. install, like uninstall calls os8scripts directly to do the work. 3. include is used to create the .os8 script file that will install all selected packages. 4. The same code block makes the commands for install and include. 5. Search for a .pspec file. 6. All of this is documented in the updated os8pkg.md doc file. check-in: f9238bc0eb user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg

Fixed typo that was causing packages to always be re-installed into the boot images. check-in: 513d950f14 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
01:59
Remove debugging bit from basic-games.pspec. check-in: 7a9b5fe213 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
2020-10-27
19:25
Refinement to basic-games packaging: 1. Hacked README.md with a broad sword to shrink lines below 140 characters so that we could use PIP ASCII mode to copy it in. 2. Added a rm -f line to basic-games.pspec to delete the old .tu56 image file. 3. Fixed a bug in os8pkg so that #2 would work. check-in: f9134d40c3 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
16:25
Updated ChangeLog check-in: 92f90a86d3 user: tangent tags: trunk
16:02
Merged CC8 "V2.0" down to trunk. check-in: 9c75595f59 user: tangent tags: trunk
15:36
Replaced a few references to the old python-pip package (v2) since we're now recommending use of pip3 in other places. Closes [5a1e770c9eb8e74]. check-in: 2d34571e16 user: tangent tags: trunk
03:48
Remove media/os8/subsys/ba.tu56 binary blob. Instead use os8pkg to manage the basic games src/basic-games. Change name of subsystem for configuration from "ba" to "basic-games". Makes use of the "build" construct in os8pkg to use an os8-cp command instead of requiring creation of scripts/misc/basic-games.os8 whose sole purpose would be to populate a distribution .tu56 image. The README.md is taken from the "Demos in BASIC" wiki page. check-in: aecf5a7244 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
03:01
Eliminate use of wild cards in outputs. Otherwise the uninstall can wreck havoc! check-in: ef969b8356 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
00:56
Implemented and documented install and uninstall commands. Updated advent.pspec to contain cleanups for uninstall. check-in: e1d2257810 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
2020-10-26
18:21
Fixed usage message: options before sub-command check-in: 5d82d01c8d user: tangent tags: os8pkg
17:59
Fix traceback on no command specified. Now correctly prints a usage message. check-in: 1b75ca7a3d user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
02:57
Remove cc8.tu56 from media/os8/subsys/README.md. We have built from source for some time. check-in: fd93e4c5ed user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
02:55
Remove media/os8/subsys/advent.tu56 binary blob and the reference to it in the README.md file. We build from source now. check-in: 9e17527bde user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
02:35
The long awaited "Build ADVENT from Source, and use os8pkg to do it"! check-in: 870bcfbf7d user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
2020-10-24
22:23
make reconfig now removes *.d files in the build dir in case the user is switching from a branch with deps not present in the target, as can currently happen when switching from release to trunk due to files we no longer ship. Without this, you get an error from make about files it is told must be rebuilt but which it has no info on *how* to build. check-in: 8e5dcae12f user: tangent tags: trunk
2020-09-17
19:55
Typo fix check-in: d31d2dcd86 user: tangent tags: trunk

20:58
Remove debugging messages from auto.def check-in: 1bb8cbf96f user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
20:32
Found a place to put the "-include obj/os8pkg/*.mk" such that build works. Note that putting the include too early breaks EVERYTHING. check-in: 72eeb74e17 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
20:04
Snapshot: Some cleanups. (Still some debugging to remove.) I understand conceptually what to do, but so far the concept simply breaks the install. First attempt to move the include of obj/os8pkg/*.mk enabled building of e8.tu56, but broke the rest of the build. check-in: b70257ba80 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
03:35
This should fix the failure to build packages but it does not. auto.def now defines OS8_PKGS_All and populates it with all found packages. os8pkg now uses a high level name for the package file because it knows the format, but auto.def and Makefile.in do not. Alghough V3D_RUNTIME and OCK_RUNTIME depend on PKGS_INCLUDE, and PKGS_INCLUDE depends on OS8_PKGS_ALL, the packages do not build. check-in: cd6da4c92c user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
2020-09-14
01:00
Another try at solving chicken-egg problem. bin/os8pkg needed the python library templates. I re-arranged things. ./configure works. TODO: Fix problem with packages not building. check-in: 7b57aaaac3 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
2020-09-13
15:55
Code cleanups in the new os8pkg loop within auto.def: remove redundant "then", remove pointless "set result", popped "exec" calls out of bracket expression now that we aren't pointlessly saving the result code, and did some whitespace cleanups. check-in: d468b646be user: tangent tags: os8pkg
15:44
Moved the generation of bin/os8pkg up within auto.def, to just before the first call to it, for generating Makefile dep includes, etc. check-in: ff9626086a user: tangent tags: os8pkg
15:41
Merged a fix from trunk in check-in: 89d61b9785 user: tangent tags: os8pkg
15:40
Moved the generation of bin/os8-run from its .in version up from the block at the end of auto.def to just before the call to test-os8-run, which requires os8-run to exist. Without this, you have a chicken-and-egg problem in fresh working trees. check-in: 8d9c504067 user: tangent tags: trunk
15:26
Merged trunk README.md changes in check-in: 6778aa5955 user: tangent tags: os8pkg
15:11
Removed some commented-out blocks in Makefile.in. check-in: dc7a6ae44b user: tangent tags: os8pkg
04:58
Complete first draft! auto.defs takes responsibility for createing and keeping updated .mk and .os8 files from all pspec files found. Makefile.in knows how to generate a pkgs.os8 file that is used by boot-rk05.os8 in the v3d and ock directories. e8 and cc8 seem correctly still to be installed on that boot media. TODO: 1. Clean out the stuff from Makefile.in that's no longer needed. 2. Create .pspec files for more packages, such as ADVENT. 3. Investigate using this system to manage ock build from source. Now creates a pkgs.os8 script check-in: f646470ec8 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
2020-09-12
04:45
auto.def now scans for .pspec files in scripts/os8pkg and generates or updates .mk files in obj/os8pkg while figuring out which packages are actually in use. Makefile.in has the old cc8 and e8 build stuff commented out. TODO: Figure out if we can use the script output. The issue is that we have to single-thread all package application that happens on a particular destination system pack. check-in: a1ac42a085 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
00:41
Add logic to emit either build lines or a default build. check-in: 1b1a3c11de user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
2020-09-11
03:11
Turn in-line sub-command parser setup to table driven for loop. check-in: 7e3f1767f4 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
2020-09-10
04:28
Teach os8pkg about dry-run arg and pathnames to output. But don't fully implement file write, and dry-run actions just yet. check-in: 954b1707a0 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
03:56
Added in missing sub parser arg for package files. check-in: 2f2659b4ea user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg

Version 0 proof of concept os8pkg command. check-in: 4577618753 user: poetnerd tags: os8pkg
2020-08-15
23:32
Long overdue fixup of pexpect error reporting: pexpect used to hang for 30 seconds, timeout, and give a messy traceback when it got confused. This was NOT helpful because the traceback didn't give the useful information. Now we catch the timeout exception, and let the regular error reporting (which now is very good) to let us see what actually happened. check-in: ff1e4919aa user: poetnerd tags: trunk
2020-08-14

A missed add. scripts/misc/e8-tu56.os8 wants src/e8/e8defs.pa, but it's not in the fossil repo. :-( check-in: 667c5e9683 user: poetnerd tags: trunk
2020-08-01
02:18
Having re-organized around OS8_TOOLTIME, the scripts need to be converted from using v3d.rk05 to v3d-patched.rk05, the OS8_TOOLTIME pack. Perhaps the .os8 scripts should be converted to .os8.in scripts that would use an OS8_TOOLTIME auto.def. check-in: a4a0a1aabc user: poetnerd tags: trunk
01:27
Subtle mistake: OS8_RK05S needs V3D_RUNTIME and OCK_RUNTIME. It had OS8_RUNTIME which might be one or the other. I don't know where the dependencies would go if use-ock were set. Right now we unconditionally build both. check-in: d11565ea4f user: poetnerd tags: trunk
2020-07-31
02:13
Implemented the clearer demarkation of different levels of OS8 boot media, as per Forum discussion: https://tangentsoft.com/pidp8i/forumpost/dcf09a8902 check-in: c548a7866c user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Separate out install into install-target (--prefix target files) and install-system (files and packages outside of --prefix). Add DESTDIR so target files may be installed to a different root than /. check-in: 4bffc18e79 user: ryan tags: github-ci

Added a basic compilation GitHub CI workflow, for branches synced by the GitHub git sync (https://github.com/tangentsoft/pidp8i/actions). check-in: e01e5ca1ff user: ryan tags: github-ci
03:04
Typoed the conditionals on fortran. The option has a dash not an underscore. This caused patches to be attempted on fortran packages even if the packages were disabled. Note that SABR is now required for the C compiler, and we apply the SABR patch unconditionally. check-in: 70b6053e6d user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Yet another critical script I failed to ADD. Maybe this fully fixes bug 8d1502e9eed check-in: 1f1ac14196 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Renamed uni and all its manifestations to ock. check-in: 37f2c27165 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Began reviewing patches for Combined Kit. Found typos in existing patching doc. Fixed them. Found a possible error in how I build FORTRAN IV. Fixed it. check-in: deb9e3d7d6 user: poetnerd tags: trunk
2020-06-19
03:53
Fixed BASIC.UF in Combined Kit. Even though the instructions say all patches were applied, UF.PA was the broken version with incorrect page 0 references. This should be correct going forward. check-in: b41dbe3653 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Restored table formatting of scripts/README.md, merging in the text changes from the list-formatted version. Prior attempt simply used incorrect Markdown. check-in: c07a3a71fc user: tangent tags: trunk
02:17
Integrated LCBAS.BI / UCBAS.BI into uni. It turned out to be pretty easy. The patch was short, and that section of BASIC.PA is the same for both V3D and uni. check-in: f7c9318074 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Updated E8 with latest fixes from Bill Silver: Missing end of file bug fixed Search and replace buffers expanded to 15 characters from 11 Incremental search now does hot termination: any control character not otherwise recognized terminates the search and is executed as a command (as Emacs does) ^N and ^P now move up and down to the same column, or nearby Closed-Leaf check-in: 24c33bb347 user: poetnerd tags: e8-integration

Add ctbl.tx which contains a lits of libc functions. check-in: f29f0c5b88 user: isysxp tags: Native-Jun-20

This is a significant re-write of the native compiler. Numerous additions have been implemented. Missing features from K&R are now only struct/float/function pointers. check-in: cf7e75b64f user: isysxp tags: Native-Jun-20
05:37
Did the last step of integration: Put E8.SV on SYS and E8CMDS.TX, E8SRCH.TX on DSK of both v3d.rk05 and uni.rk05. Also fixed a heretofore undiscovered bug in patch_command: When run_patch_file needed to resume to OS/8 context it called resume_command with nonexistent variables. Now we pass in line and script_file so they can be used in the call to resume_command. check-in: b1970fddd0 user: poetnerd tags: e8-integration
05:07
Cleaned up the README.TX file a bit. It now mentions the help files. It's not all in capitals any more. check-in: b57641fef7 user: poetnerd tags: e8-integration
04:59
Added two 22x72 reference files e8cmds.tx, e8xrch.tx, and updated e8-tu56.os8 to copy them to the tu56 image. Makefile.in knows we depend on them. check-in: 9eed79faa8 user: poetnerd tags: e8-integration

23:59
Removed src/e8/COPYING.md, being redundant w.r.t. SIMH-LICENSE.md. Documented the reason we're apparently stripping the license out. check-in: 3868e6e364 user: tangent tags: e8-integration
23:25
Added --e8-screen-{width,height} configuration options and changed the E8 build process to use the generated e8defs.pa file. check-in: c09ec25bb7 user: tangent tags: e8-integration
18:44
Enabled storage of e8 doc files as images on tu56 image. It wasn't a bug in cpto per se. It was a poorly documented requirement to precede the option with whitespace. TODO: Add the "sacrificial end character" code, because when we put files in as images, the PTR driver DOES lose the last character. check-in: 02b6db5df2 user: poetnerd tags: e8-integration
2020-06-13
13:53
Merged as much of E8's Makefile stuff into our Makefile.in as makes sense. Basically, only the creation of e8-manual.pdf and the upload to the repo as UV content. check-in: bca79f692b user: tangent tags: e8-integration
13:39
Renamed doc/pdf.css to e8-manual-pdf.css to track a change upstream check-in: 267ebd41d8 user: tangent tags: e8-integration

tools/e8-update fails if it isn't run from the top source dir. Without this, it'd either choke on its later assumptions or wreck the tree. check-in: 04eca764cf user: tangent tags: e8-integration

Expanded use of os8_ctrl_c appropriately. This should silence race-condition noise on the bsd platform, as well as improve reliability for a wider range of commands run under cdprog and os8 script commands. check-in: 62449ac644 user: poetnerd tags: trunk
2020-06-11
06:08
Improved error reporting from os8_command: I was relying too much on the "print caller string" functionality, when instead I should have been acting on error status and printing good messages. I missed a "re-sync with command prompt" in error handling. Fixed now. The osi_ctrl_c code now looks for ^ that might come from an echo of ^C but does not require it. TODO: Review callers of os8_send_ctrl ("c") for possible conversion to os8_ctrl_c. check-in: 83d6d9ac2d user: poetnerd tags: trunk

Documented [6498933542] in the ChangeLog check-in: 04a5f7c8d9 user: tangent tags: trunk
22:49
Fixed a serious bug in an undocumented change made in v2019.04.25: the handler for SING_STEP + IF (restart with boot script #IF) changed from just jamming a "DO" command into SCP for the new boot script to re-execing the simulator with the same script name. This ensures a clean simulator, rather than starting the new script atop the old dirty simulator, but there was a flaw: execl() call was missing the trailing NULL sentinel, potentially allowing the kernel to walk off the end of the call stack. This may explain some problems people have had getting their PiDP-8/I to switch OSes via this mechanism. Problem diagnosed by Clang 8 on FreeBSD, of all things. check-in: 6498933542 user: tangent tags: trunk

Fixed missing files in uni: BASIC: EABRTS.BN, RESEQ.BA. FORTRAN II: GENIOX.SB. Required pulling RESEQ.BA in from a master DECtabe binary image, because it wasn't in source. The standard way to buld EABRTS.BN is to use TTY: as a PAL8 input file, and to type "EAE=1". Instead I added EAEDEF.PA and build with it. check-in: 87cbc11ba5 user: poetnerd tags: trunk

To get the C compiler, while avoid a bootstrap problem if uni became the boot disk, and to prepare for adding patches, I've created a uni-rk05.os8 script. Now to boot the unified kit, you boot bin/uni.rk05 TODO: There are a couple missing bits: EABRTS.BN, GENIOX.SB, RESEQ.BA I gotta find out why. uni-dist-rk05.os8 has been updated to copy in CUSPS I left out. check-in: 86ef40af7a user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni

Got LCSYS.BI and UCSYS.BI working under uni. In the process found and fixed long standing bug with V3F UCSYS.BI: Page zero literal moved. Noticed it when porting LCSYS.BI to v3f but didn't fix it for UCSYS.BI. check-in: e57763e4b3 user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni

Silly little mistake: Mist copying in BCOMP.SV so BASIC wouldn't run. It works now. check-in: 6961ee4910 user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni

Builds a Unified Combined Kit bootable RK05 the same way it builds the v3d-dist.rk05 image. It boots, and has the right handlers (I think). Issues: LCSYS.BI isn't working. There are still places where the cdprog state machine in os8-run can get confused on error conditions. But we've got a complete first draft of "Build OS/8 combined kit from source." check-in: 4ffe4ea3d5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni

Generates FORTRAN IV Object rk05 image. I had to change the syntax of FORLIB.BI because what was there was bad syntax. Command lines do not begin with open curly braket. TODO: Put this stuff onto an image and see if it boots. check-in: 019eecff7d user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni

Another messy snapshot. I've recrafted all-tu56 to swap back and forth between using the td device and the dt device. It means calling build like 4 times to built the td12k tu56 image, but it NEVER gets confused. Additionally I'm experimenting with a "cdprog1" command that knows you return to the monitor instead of the command decoder. os8_send_cmd then looks for when its looking for the monitor dot prompt, and if it gets "\n.$." it suggests using cdprog1 instead. TODO: clean this all up: Get rid of all the debugging scaffolding. Push simple single change updates to trunk. check-in: f4f8ad0c2a user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni

Snapshot. Gross. Turning on error diagnostics tickles some nasty race between pexpect and emulation of the TD8E DECtape. To work around this I created a kludge command in os8-run called "Sleep." When I set the sleep delay to 0.2 seconds things work with the TD8E build. Any lower and you get meaningless random "TA0 DOES NOT EXIST" errors. This checkin has additional debugging print statements that need to go away. I must ponder, but I wanted to at least save this snapshot. check-in: 1780dbf1c1 user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni

Now builds the contents of src/uni/CUSPS into bin/uni-cusps.rk05 Bug fix to os8-run: Changed error detection string from "DF" to "DF\r" because the echo back of the TDFRMT filename in pal8 was mistaken for a device full error. check-in: 9e455a5798 user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni

Sigh pedandic python3 doesn't like concatenating the None type that came from my fancier regex for pal8 args. Fixed. check-in: afe4fd78b3 user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni

Now builds a significant chunk of the CUSPS. To build TECO I needed os8-run to pass the /W argument. So I fixed os8script.in to no longer have the limit of not passing in any PAL8 arguments. (I updated the doc.) Along the way, I discovered why I wanted that pal8 command. The 2 arg form of PAL8 hangs the state machine when attempted from either the os8 command or the begin cdprog construct. The "ERRORS DETECTED X\n\rLINKS GENERATED X\n\r." output confuses expect. I've also checked in the build tester I use for each CUSP as I integrate it into uni-cusps-build.os8. Doing a monolithic build is required because if there were multiple make lines parallel make would get into all kinds of nasty race conditions with the output rk05 image being modified in multiple processes simultaneously. check-in: 5d9e6f4434 user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni

Had to re-arrange the builds and spread uni into multiple RK05 images. This snapshot builds the SYSTEM component HANDLERS and a bit of CUSPS. check-in: 2611fb4df7 user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni
