| 19:48 | 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 | |

| 21:20 | 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 | |

| 01:16 | 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 | |

| 14:16 | 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.

| 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 | |

2021-10-13
| ||
| 23:07 | 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 | |

|
2021-05-17
| ||
| 15:18 | 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 | |
|
2021-04-23
| ||
| 19:51 | 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
| ||
| 01:18 | 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 | |
| 08:10 | Added missing ;; in one of the case statements in bosi check-in: 247961207f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:59 | Small tweaks to the release process doc. check-in: d28caab153 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:04 | 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 | |
| 02:36 | Merged more trunk tweaks in check-in: 50be8bd991 user: tangent tags: release, v20210214 | |
| 02:36 | Comment tweak check-in: 4a67ec5806 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:59 | Documented need for prior commit's change in the release process doc. check-in: fba31778b0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:58 | Updated "stretch" to "buster" in tools/bosi check-in: f0461538d2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:27 | Had to reorder and update some of the steps in "bosi prepare" to make it work on the current Rasperry Pi OS version. check-in: aeac6fa347 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:58 | More tweaks to the BOSI process. check-in: 356fc7e331 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:14 | Merged trunk tweaks in check-in: d6d2943cec user: tangent tags: release, v20210214 | |
| 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 | |

| 06:13 | 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 | |

| 23:43 | "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 | |

| 22:07 | Cherrypicked the last two changes on the bogus file-renaming branch down to trunk. check-in: 25d04173ec user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 22:06 | Redo of [e0af34dd55] atop fixed parent. check-in: a38bb07eca user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 22:04 | 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 | |
| 20:53 | Re-lowercased src/advent/* (excepting README.md) check-in: 5bab882cd4 user: tangent tags: simh-update | |
| 18:39 | Updated the Fossil instructions in the contribution guide to track recent upstream changes. check-in: a15213d710 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:33 | Merged trunk changes in check-in: 0748329823 user: tangent tags: simh-update | |
| 09:25 | 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 | |
| 00:43 | Updated ChangeLog for the imminent release check-in: 600a9459a8 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 | |

| 23:49 | 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 | |

| 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.

| 03:57 | os8script class document is complete. The demo program is moved to its permanent location. check-in: 77a525a884 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 02:49 | 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 | |

| 05:24 | 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 01:31 | Improved os8pkg verify command. Uses new `ocomp` os8-run command. Documentation is updated for both tools. Test script for the ocomp command. Fixed a bug I introduced when I changed the os8script API: Need to pass in the script_path for error reporting. Oops. check-in: 5910fa4e4c user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 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.

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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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.

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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.

| 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 | |

| 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.

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 | |

| 04:10 | Improved error reporting. Improved robustness in cdprog: Notices if sending escape fails and tries ^C. This works around problems with running EPIC. I'm considering adding a test for '$' at the end of a cdprog line, as a way to mean, "Send escape, and expect to return to monitor level." It will be cleaner for many things. Alas Epic doesn't do that either. It insists on getting an escape to the command decoder to do its work properly. (Otherwise it sometimes just produces no output.) And then after it gets that escape, it returns to the commmand decoder with its in-core image still corrupted by the previuos comparison!

| 21:14 | Fixed benign but long-standing bug in all-tu56.os8: There was a DT mount/umount in the td8e sections. Because the relevant .tu56 image was already mount it was just an error that showed up in the logs. check-in: d14aa78ca1 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |

| 16:55 | Found source of unexpected output from v3d-rk05.os8. Was not a long-standing bug. I forgot about having to context switch when flipping between simh and os8 commands. I've added better reminder comments. At issue: simh.py would figure stuff out and send a "cont" command, but that command would not always succeed quickly enough, and the first command after context switching would get messed up. check-in: 4b819965ad user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |
| 15:33 | Removed the "sleep(0.02)" hack in teco-pi-demo, since earlier work on this branch removes the need for it. Worked twice here in testing, at least. check-in: 15fc966a2b user: tangent tags: flip-expect | |
| 14:37 | Cleanup: Deleted old PAL8 code from os8script.py.in Documented removal of os8-run limitations. Note: the os8 command has a .5 second delay after an error. This fixes an observed race condition where we send ^C after an error before there's an OS/8 ready to hear it. Error reporting is so good now that I think I see a long-standing bug in scripts/v3d-rk05.os8: Removal of SYS:FORLIB.RL fails. I think it always failed but I'll investigate. check-in: 6850ec9fe9 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |

| 01:37 | Shifted resume's work into simh.py.in. Documented current behavior of resume. Changed approach to outputting what the "os8" command gets: Instead of conditionalizing on self.verbose, I added an enablement keyword "transcript", and documented its operation in os8-run.md. Now I'm exploring if we can simply get rid of the pal8 command. Along the way, I discovered how the os8 command could fall out of sync if it encountered an error. This code remedies that, I think, but needs more testing. check-in: 68296b70c5 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |

2020-05-06
| ||
| 14:21 | Got resume with simh "cont" command working. The trick was to expect the echo of "cont\n" and then do os8_kbd_wait(). Added a verbose mode to the "os8" command to print the output. TODO: Add a command to os8-run to turn verbose on and off. Probably through a keyword "verbose" arg to enable. I have to think about whether I want a quiet mode that overrides verbose. What I want is a mode where I can turn command result display on and off. I think the current "verbose" flag is more of a less verbose debug flag. check-in: dd813fc8e9 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |
| 05:54 | Pruned the methods from simh.py.in and os8script.py.in that I wanted to get rid of. That meant that test-os8-send-file goes away, since it tests stuff that I've gotten rid of: os8_get_file and os8_send_file. os8_pip_to and os8_pip_from are now the preferred APIs. I've further cleaned up the PAL8 command. Both the 2 and 3 arg forms now pass detailed error status back up to the printout from the running script. There's a draft of new regular expressions for the pal8 command that are aimed at removing a lot of the current limitations. There's an update to doc/os8-run.md that drops mention of problems and limits that have gone away with the flipped expect. check-in: c3896bd487 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |
| 02:34 | There's sometimes a race condition when you send escape: Sometimes instead of getting "\n\\.$" you get "\n\\.$\\.$" To detect the race condition I currently label it "Monitor Escape". After I'm sure this is what is happening, I'll re-label it as "Monitor Prompt" at which point any log harvesting will not see any difference. check-in: 600278db4f user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |

Instead we have: simh_send_line that says it relies on the caller to run expect to determine success and simh_cmd that calls simh_send_line and checks return. The only time we needed simh_send_line here was in do_simh_show where we parsed the output of the show command.

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.

| 00:17 | 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 | |

| 04:34 | 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 | |

This should not interfere with terminal escapes from the simulator since dtach should be scanning for this only from the terminal *input* side. If someone comes up with a reason that SIMH or the simulated software needs Ctrl-\ for its own purposes, we can change the detach character to something else. check-in: e13467f10a user: tangent tags: screen-mgr-none-dtach | |

This is a branch because it conflicts with the current tip-of-trunk and because it's not yet tested on a Pi 4.

Now following the current advice: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberrypi/peripheral_addresses.md Doing this in the hopes that it fixes the compatibility problem with the Pi 4, but if it doesn't, this is probably the correct thing anyway.

| 11:58 | Untested application of Ian Schofield's LED dithering patch, which replaces the NLS mode with a different PWM-based incandescent lamp simulator scheme than either his original ILS or my "new ILS," intended to give much the same effect while using less host CPU power, so that it can run on a Pi Zero. This checkin is very different from the patch as posted on the mailing list, but I *think* it implements the same core algorithm. It's untested because while I have a PiDP-8/I front panel and a Pi Zero W here, I don't want to tear my PiDP-8/I apart to put the two together. That's and many other reasons are why this is on a branch. check-in: de6d1f5a43 user: tangent tags: pi-zero-ils | |

| 08:56 | Changed the systemd service from "Type=oneshot" to "notify" allowing us to use systemd-notify to tell it when the service has successfully started and communicate the screen(1) PID to it. This greatly improves the reliably of systemctl commands on the background service. This solves some of the problems that lead to ticket [ce9ea9c96]. check-in: f9a56691d8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 11:12 | Adjusted the "make release" process so that the version tag ends up on the release branch, not on trunk, so that "fossil up vYYYYmmDD ; fossil up" results in the user staying on the release branch.

| 12:32 | The new "pidp8i stop" implementation failed on a real PiDP-8/I because scanswitch fails when the simulator's running. Switched to a different method for detecting which simulator executable is running. check-in: 10339e6b1a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:33 | Rewrote "pidp8i stop" to send a SIGINT, wait 2 seconds, then SIGKILL to make use of the new savestate mechanism and hopefully close ticket [ce9ea9c96a]. (Checking it in to try on an actual PiDP-8/I next.) If savestate mode is disabled, we skip the first two steps and go straight to SIGKILL: this could lose data, but until SIMH gets proper SIGTERM support, this is the best we can do. check-in: 98a0b0305a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:29 | Fixed a few bugs in the new savestate.script: the ON ERROR handler doesn't help, and Ctrl-E CONT would cause a reboot. check-in: 780af010e3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:12 | Removed a pointless "ECHO" from the new boot/savestate.script file. check-in: 4810c085f8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:09 | Added the --enable-savestate configuration option, conditionally making use of SIMH's SAVE/RESTORE feature and the new Autosetup @include/@define feature to provide parameterized core/register/device state saving and restoration on simulator restarts. check-in: 555b5e5f8d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:07 | Added @include and @define features to Autosetup's template file processor. This is being pushed upstream as the template-include branch, but we're checking it in here rather than wait for our PR to be accepted because a) we don't want to wait; and b) it might be rejected, and our subsequent checkin requires this feature to work as it currently does. check-in: 3ea0b1ea99 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:25 | Updated SIMH again: we need the recent fix to ON ERROR handling. check-in: e5ae989411 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:17 | Fixed something checked into previous: we added $0 to a "chmod -x $(stuff)" line so there was always something to chmod -x if the subshell returned nothing to avoid a complaint from chmod about getting no args, but $0 should always have +x. Changed it to auto.def, something that should never be +x. check-in: 7e0d206df8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:15 | Updated Autosetup to tip-of-master (post 0.6.9) in preparation for adding a new feature to it. This changes the syntax for @if expressions, so this checkin includes updates to the two affected boot/*.script files. check-in: 190c00fe14 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 08:24 | scanswitch was returning -1 on no GPIO, which is 255 on macOS at least, which means the test for "no GPIO" in bin/pid8pi wouldn't get hit properly.

| 06:27 | First steps to getting os8-run working with Python 3: this is all of the print() calls. (print() is a function in Python 3, not a keyword as in prior versions, so it requires parens around its arguments, always.) This is the start of a new branch because this won't be the only thing needed to get these programs working under Python 3. This is needed on my macOS box because Anaconda Distribution installs Python 3 as "python", which is arguably wrong, but hopefully we can get os8-run and its helper libraries into a state where they run on both versions so this won't matter any more. This checkin *also* accidentally includes a SIMH update, because I was in the middle of the SIMH update and got distracted by fixing the Python 2-isms and accidentally checked the SIMH changes in as well. The SIMH update should have been on trunk only. I'll fix that on this branch a bit down the line. check-in: 05bd569e5e user: tangent tags: os8-run-python3 | |

| 11:55 | Many improvements to the CC8 user manual. Basically, I began re-reading it from the top, improving it along the way with my new understanding of CC8. check-in: 0316450b57 user: tangent tags: cc8-octal-output | |
| 09:08 | Rewrote the history section at the top of the CC8 manual to give a better arc. check-in: 694c027652 user: tangent tags: cc8-octal-output | |
| 08:55 | Updated the CC8 user manual to cover the new octal output default. check-in: 84f718936e user: tangent tags: cc8-octal-output | |
| 08:12 | Squished the bug that prevents this branch from generating code that runs properly: I overlooked the #defines in libc.h which are treated by the compiler as text, not as C integers, so that integer indices emitted in the generated SABR code for calling into LIBC were in decimal but were then interpreted by SABR as octal. If this gave syntactically correct code, it would call the wrong function for every function past index 7. The fact that we never saw it generate syntactically incorrect code merely reflects the fact that we didn't happen to call any functions that used decimal indexes that have no corresponding octal interpretation, a possibility only 1/5 of the time.

| 11:30 | Ian smacked me with a clue-bat: there are *several* zero pages, and their usages do not conflict! Fixed several bits in the CC8 user manual that resulting from this confusion. (This also explains why the discrepancies between INIT and LIBC's globals don't matter: they're in different fields!) check-in: 3ae7245274 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:44 | First pass at making CC8 emit octal in SABR output only, and to convert the decimal constants in the static SABR code within header.sb, libc.c, and init.h to octal. This also gets rid of all the DECIM directives, since SABR defaults to OCTAL mode. This is on a branch because the result doesn't yet run correctly, and I'm out of time trying to figure out why. check-in: ce071e8713 user: tangent tags: cc8-octal-output | |
| 09:33 | Found yet a *third* copy of the CC8 ABSYM table! These fixups allow the cross-compiler to produce code that links to LIBC properly. That then highlit some differences in the INIT code between header.sb and init.h, the latter of which has both more code and more globals. Mainly fixing this involves packing the new globals up tight against those that init.h shares in common with header.sb and libc.c, but also a change to the docs to reduce the space available to the [f]printf() buffer yet again. check-in: 778e8ff4ec user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:48 | Fixed indents in CC8 init.h and header.sb: I've been fighting with these hard tabs all night, and I'm sick of it. They're space indents now, per HACKERS.md. check-in: e289bdbe25 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:32 | Merged cc8-libc-zp-reorg branch down to trunk. It appears to be stabilized now. check-in: b0097f70c6 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:01 | Merged VC8E OPDEF stuff up from trunk to reduce unnecessary diffs Closed-Leaf check-in: 2d4b00518f user: tangent tags: cc8-libc-zp-reorg | |
| 07:58 | Merged VC8E OPDEF feature for CC8 LIBC down from the cc8-libc-zp-reorg fix, where it's out-of-place. check-in: 23f886388e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:04 | Fixed a CPAGE directive in libc.c that could potentially lead to the LIBC entry point call table being split across pages. check-in: 64f9c6e820 user: tangent tags: cc8-libc-zp-reorg | |
| 03:55 | Checkin [228e1c8b3a] added a comment ending in an exclamation point to HEADER.SB, which is perfectly legal in SABR, but it breaks a hidden contract between the CC0 and CC2 stages of the native compiler, wherein a '!' character terminates the preamble part of the CASM.TX output! This caused un-assemblable SABR output, because everything after that in HEADER.SB got chopped off. (Actually, it was probably treated as the start of the first inline assembly block.) check-in: ae9dda1ecb user: tangent tags: cc8-libc-zp-reorg | |
| 03:31 | Decided to move the LIBC globals previously moved into 10002 thru 10007 to the end of the field 1 zero page, so we can dedicate these 8 locations for user code. Otherwise, user code has no zero page locations they can safely use, which seems rather grabby of us. check-in: ca6257496b user: tangent tags: cc8-libc-zp-reorg | |
| 03:13 | Cherrypicked [52aa88863c] onto trunk, primarily to ensure that those with recent trunk checkouts don't get unexpectedly sent to branch cc8-cleanups. This change is harmless to have in both places. check-in: 0c7432da84 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:50 | Checkin [1ea9133a37] is incomplete: the CC8 native compiler's HEADER.SB file contains a duplicate of the ABSYM declarations in libc.c, shared between the two CC8 compilers; they need to match! It's not clear to me the consequences of these two not matching, since our tests didn't fail earlier, but there's also no good reason for these to differ. Added comments to reduce the chance of these two pieces of code drifting apart again. check-in: 228e1c8b3a user: tangent tags: cc8-libc-zp-reorg | |

| 01:23 | Moved [f]printf() buffer down into the otherwise sparsely used zero page, and rearranged the constants previously declared there to make better use of the space available. This then opens another half-page of space for the stack. Updated docs to cover all of this. EDIT: This is the start of a new branch because this checkin breaks some things, and some of the subsequent checkins destabilize CC8. I'm moving it to a branch until all that's fixed. check-in: 1ea9133a37 user: tangent tags: cc8-libc-zp-reorg | |

| 04:46 | Changed all uses of fprintf() in src/cc8/os8/p8.c that don't use printf() format specifiers to fputs() instead, saving 200 core memory locations due to the lower amount of stack manipulation required to call a straight function with a single parameter. check-in: 0b3919909f user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 04:18 | sprintf() now returns -1 when it hits an unknown format specifier, as cppreference says it should. This is actually smaller than the prior code, which incorrectly returned the number of characters written so far and then failed to terminate the output string. cppreference doesn't say we should terminate the output string in this condition, but the error return is enough to clue the user in that they shouldn't use the output string. check-in: 7e5e3a226d user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 21:59 | Finished the first pass on the CC8 LIBC docs in cc8-manual.md. This adds *some* documentation for every function, without any intention that it be complete at this point. Some points previously made elsewhere within the document (mainly in the lists of limitatios) are moved into this new section.

| 20:30 | Another cc8/cross update from Ian Schofield. Addresses bug a4123bb743, making the cross compiler at last allow typed function declarations. cc8 now builds silently with -Wall. Supporting struct in the pdp-8 target had a storage management bug that is now fixed. The void type is now added to cc8. The resulting native C compiler for OS/8 is unchanged -- bit for bit identical, because that code does not use any of the enhancements to the cc8 cross compiler. check-in: dc687b9f08 user: poetnerd tags: smc85-cc8 | |

| 04:11 | Updated behavior of --disable-os8-init to match broader expectations: No longer installs init.cm and init.tx if disabled. Affects the 4 tu56 images also built. Note that @OS8_OPTS@ was not being used to build the 4 tu56 images until now. I expected that it was, but never passed them in.

| 21:07 | Checkin 44fac25071 broke bin/cc8-to-os8. That change back on 2018-01-20 was supposed to simply quit adding 'int' to declaration lines. Instead it caused the tool to quit producing any output at all. Here's a pull-up from my smc-85-cc8 branch where I fix the tool to generate the expected output: Suppress #include, but do nothing else. check-in: 6a0f8ef8bf user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 16:51 | New code base for cc8/cross: SmallC-85. SmallC-85 is a revived and updated port of SmallC that is much cleaner. This version compiles on the Mac using clang silently without warnings, and runs well enough to generate .sb files that are functionally the same as what was generated on the non-portable cross. Carefully uses today's trunk as baseline. check-in: 385a16c7cc user: poetnerd tags: smc85-cc8 | |

2018-12-28

| 12:57 | Fixed [b33f80acd8]: the Ctrl-E exit to the SIMH command prompt causes our new SIGINT handler to be called, which was not only turning off the LEDs but also shutting down the GPIO thread. That means that on sim re-entry, we'd refuse to turn the LEDs back on because the GPIO thread is no longer running. The fix is to turn LEDs off conditional only on whether the PiDP-8/I extensions are enabled, but to stop the GPIO thread only if we're going through the exit(3) path on handling SIGINT. check-in: 85596d132e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:17 | Fixed some pointless style differences between a mirrored pair of functions. No functional change. check-in: 1fdc270f88 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:42 | "make tags" was showing the call to ctags but not cscope, so that if it's available, you got the impression that cscope wasn't found here. check-in: 71eb12e111 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 14:08 | Added autosetup tests for sighandler_t and sig_t, with fallbacks for the former based on what we find. Without this, the new signal handling added to allow graceful "pidp8i stop" behavior only works on Linux. This change allows it to work on macOS, at least. check-in: df26be88ac user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:58 | Fixed a number of problems with the way "pidp8i stop" was handled which resulted in an unclean simulator shutdown. The front panel LEDs now reliably get turned off each time, and the simulator's main thread is shut down gracefully. check-in: a773f0c174 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:02 | Reverted [c237120a73]: didn't see the "cd" command before the call to bin/os8-cp, which means we either need a "../../../" prefix or the "@builddir@/" prefix we had before. check-in: 02ab10b9a6 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:54 | Checking for error return from a read(2) call in d8tape to squish a complaint from GCC on Ubuntu 18.04. check-in: a6aa94eee4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:49 | Specifying "Python 2" in the configure script messages: Ubuntu ships Python 3 by default, so when we claim "Python isn't installed" because Python *2* isn't available, it was jarring. check-in: d8244b866f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:51 | Removed the "@builddir@/" prefix on the call to os8-cp in Makefile.in: relative paths work even in out-of-tree builds, and this comes from os8-cp.in, so it's definitely in the build tree. check-in: c237120a73 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:50 | Fixed some drift in the INFILES definition in Makefile.in check-in: 670a6a98a0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:40 | Raised the timeout on initial SIMH startup again, from 5 to 10 seconds. We still occasionally get pexpect timeouts on busy systems. Also, we've now seen it on a single-core FreeBSD VM while the host is busy running test-os8-run and such. check-in: 76ff6246c9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:36 | Changed all the Python script shebang lines to use /usr/bin/env so they work on systems where Python is not in /usr/bin, such as FreeBSD, where it's in /usr/local/bin due to its being a non-core package. check-in: 91c645ba93 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:25 | Changed use of "type -p" to "which" in tools/mmake for portability to FreeBSD, whose /bin/sh doesn't understand that. It's in Bash and probably in ksh93, but we don't want to require that on FreeBSD. check-in: 72a6435832 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:21 | tools/mmake now tries harder to find the bin dir for the corecount call. This is needed on systems where $0 isn't set to an absolute path when a program is called via the PATH, like FreeBSD. check-in: 1124a3e512 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:14 | tools/mmake now runs "gmake" if found in the PATH instead of "make". This is required on FreeBSD since our Makefile.in isn't BSD make compatible. On macOS, /usr/bin/make is an older version of GNU make, so if gmake is available, it must've been installed separately, so we can assume the user wants us to use the newer version. check-in: 8146518605 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 10:48 | Typo fix check-in: 0514b6a5e4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:26 | The optimized PRINTS routine requires that AC point at the word *before* the string you want it to print, so we were printing "ELLO, WORLD!" The prior bug with mkbootscript masked this. check-in: 59b81c7034 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:23 | Set 8th bit on the ASCIIZ strings in pep001.pal, in case it's used with a terminal that cares about this, such as an ASR-33. check-in: 397c6d8901 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:21 | The pep001.pal program could hang in the TSF loop on writing the initial "ANSWER: " leader if the terminal device isn't prepared to receive characters. Added a "TLS" to send a null character to kick things off. This eats up the one remaining word left in PAGE 1! check-in: 15e91ae82b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:19 | Fixed a bug in tools/mkbootscript that caused it to write a SIMH "dep" command for only the first word in an assembly file data table, currently used in our examples for ASCII terminal output strings. This caused our "HELLO, WORLD!" demo program to do nothing useful, and for the "ANSWER: " leader from pep001.pal to be truncated to "A". check-in: 2702b89257 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:30 | If you run the simulator via the new "pdp8" name, we revert the change to the behavior of the HLT instruction: it drops you to the sim> command line instead of halting the CPU in expectation that the user will then poke around with the CPU state or hit CONT via the front panel. check-in: 2b00fa32cd user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 20:38 | The PRINTS routine in examples/hello.pal was not Rick Murphy's optimized version that we're shipping in examples/routines/prints.pal. Updated it. Also fixed the header comment so that the resulting boot script doesn't have a dangling clause in its startup message. check-in: a4075c7cd0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 18:20 | Updated the references to "mkos8" in doc/class-simh.md. There are still two references there for historical reasons, but the bulk of the text now refers to os8-run instead. check-in: bcf566411e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 18:07 | Rethought the policy on overwriting binary media: although it made sense to allow the new RK05 disk file names to merge with the old, this step also overwrites the boot scripts when that happens, and those may have user changes as well. Therefore, the new policy is that if *any* IF=0 default disk image is found, past or present, we skip mediainstall. You have to choose to run it by hand in that case, or follow the manual merge steps from README.md. check-in: 685d583d5a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 17:53 | Changed a bunch of "os8v3d*.rk05" references to their equivalent and current names. check-in: c2fc076dcc user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 17:51 | Changed "make install" so that it skips "make mediainstall" based on the existence of v3d.rk05 rather than local.tu56 so that we merge our new media with v20171222, as that release was able to merge its os8v3d-* with the os8.rk05 of prior releases. This does mean the prior release's local.tu56 and pristine source tapes can get overwritten, but those weren't supposed to be changed by the user anyway. We don't wan't people doing "make install" and not understanding why their "new" system behaves just like the old one. check-in: 384bf04b34 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:22 | Changing boot scripts via IF + SING_STEP now detaches all devices, shuts down the GPIO thread, and re-launches the simulator with the new script rather than just call "do SCRIPTNAME" in order to get a fresh simulator configuration, free of conflicts. The case that prompted the need for this is switching between boot scripts that assume the tape controller is TC08 to one that assumes TD8E, or vice versa. The only other way we could solve this is to write "detach" commands at the top of every boot script to undo everything done by every other possible boot script. Closes [81d528e3]. check-in: 82cc1aebca user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:00 | The installation tree is now entirely owned by @INSTUSR@.@INSTGRP@. We still had a mix of root.root in there, due to the way the tree was being created, resulting in oddities like the normal user could write to the installed OS/8 media but couldn't remove them from disk. check-in: b08f63333c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:45 | Adjusted the ChangeLog.md entry on boot tapes to reflect the fact that all four are always built: you aren't selecting one to build, you're choosing which one gets used for IF=3. check-in: c7d1f02b34 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:35 | Cosmetic tweak for recent Makefile.in change check-in: 675d87a243 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:46 | test-os8-run uses a custom bin/* set, so it was still hard-coded to get bin/pidp8i-bin, not bin/pdp8 as class simh now expects when we pass True for the skip_gpio ctor flag. check-in: 8193ea0be2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:40 | The test-os8-run Makefile target now runs the program first in -g mode then in -e mode only if that returns without error. When you say "make test-os8-run", you almost certainly don't want to begin re-testing all of the existing exemplars without having a complete test corpus first. If you want to test on an incomplete corpus, you can run in -e mode manually. check-in: 0cf1c0e9bb user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:39 | When a program passes True for the formerly-named "ignore GPIO lock failure" flag to class simh, it now runs bin/pdp8 instead of bin/pidp8i-sim which disables the GPIO thread per [daa86ad9b6]. Consequently, the simh ctor no longer checks for the "Failed to lock GPIO" error from the simulator, and it checks for the SIMH startup banner intead of the PiDP-8/I GPIO thread startup banner, which may now never appear. Finally, this checkin modifies the interface of simh.try_wait to be more of a simple wrapper around simh._child.expect with exception handling built in; this is deemed safe, since class simh is the only known user of this public API. This fixes bug [b876ef8c]. check-in: d7b5cbd7cb user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:37 | Removed the target added on the os8-v3f-extensions branch for media/os8/3finit.tx, which is built from a *.in file, because we'd previously choked this down to a single file, media/os8/init.tx in order to force a parallel build to go single-threaded at this point, since the configure script can't be sanely run more than once in parallel. The clue we needed to fix this is that on touching any *.in file and doing an mmake is that you'd get the "Fossil doesn't work here" complaint from auto.def because it's trying to lock the repo DB twice in parallel; one fails, the other succeeds, so it looks like there is no problem and the complaint is apropos of nothing. It's actually flagging a real problem! check-in: 19b31029e5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:32 | The pidp8i-sim Makefile target also creates a hard link to bin/pdp8 now, so we can use it from class simh, especially via os8-run. check-in: a3afe42e70 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:09 | If the simulator is not called as "pidp8i-sim", we now disable the GPIO thread: it doesn't get started, we don't feed it with data, and we don't pull any data it is expected to provide. Additionally, the Makefile now creates a @prefix@/bin/pdp8 hard link to make the simulator fall back to a state nearly identical to the upstream SIMH version by triggering this new feature. This is in partial support of ticket [b876ef8c25]. check-in: daa86ad9b6 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:27 | Small cosmetic fixes in Makefile.in check-in: 94d64e2c34 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:58 | Found and fixed the cause of the obj/os8-run.log overwrite during test-os8-run, avoiding the need for the concatenation dance previously done to avoid the problem. check-in: 22dc5521d8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

(And on top of that, there's probably an I/O stall in there somewhere, like an SSD TRIM or cache flush.) check-in: 41b3353407 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 23:51 | Merge os8-v3f-extensions branch to trunk. This replaces the old mkos8 builder with a generic scripting facility, os8-run. It also puts some historical sources "os8-v3f" under source control to build an update from OS/8 v3d. The ultimate aim of the v3f work is to re-generate the lost OS/8 Combined Kit which includes device drivers from the "OS/8 Device Extensions Kit" as well as integration of pieces that were formerly add-ons. The "Combined Kit" work is now possible. check-in: b7bc669fdc user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 04:46 | Added a timeout parameter to simh.os8_send_cmd() with a default that lets the current os8-run scripts run without timing out when running especially long commands such as the CCL.BI assembly step on an old Raspberry Pi model B+. (We'd been declaring success while running on much faster platforms, which have correspondingly shorter maximum run times for these commands.)

| 10:26 | It is now possible to give a hash prefix of as few as 6 characters when identifying a particular test by hash to test-os8-run. check-in: 0cea4c1f35 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 09:52 | It is now possible to pass hashes of prior generated tests to test-os8-run to re-test just those named tests. This is an alternative to -e when you want to re-test just some subset of the tests without looking the test up manually and re-running the test by hand. check-in: a1f53d7064 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 09:25 | Extracted generate_tests() in test-os8-run. check-in: 684f72e682 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 09:12 | Further cleanup of main() in test-os8-run. check-in: 17b868fbe2 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 06:26 | Refinements to sanitizing: 1. Cleans up -temp-<gensym>.foo temporaries for scratch media. 2. Cleans up -<pid>.pt_temp paper tape temporaries. 3. Cleans out backspace sequences that pexpect seems gratuitiously to enter which screw up the other sanitizers. These are nasty regexps. Special thanks to regex101.com without which these nasty regexps could not have been prototyped. check-in: e34afedcba user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:57 | Additional debugging of race condition in running BUILD in v3d-dist-rk05.os8: 1. Slight cleanup of debugging messages in os8script.py:build_subcomm. 2. Teach test-os8-run to preserve make.log as {last,fail}m.log. 3. Add logic in os8script.py:build_subcomm to NOT send ^C after successful BOOT command, because we are already at command level, and it creates a race condition in the expect command loop. TODO: 1. Sanitize log output to ignore temp file names for scratch images. 2. Cleaner handling of make.log saves. check-in: b7fdc79a38 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:15 | Take steps to preserve the os8-run.log file from the first time through os8-run making v3d-dist.rk05. For reasons I do not understand, the two runs of os8-run create new log files rather than appending the second run to the first file. check-in: 60386aa52a user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 03:42 | The less intrusive "os8_resume" has proven unreliable with 8 parallel makes going on for test-os8-run. The symptom is that we go to resume OS/8, but instead of provoking a dot prompt from OS/8, we seem to send ^C to SIMH before it ever resumes OS/8 operation. So now we call the restart_command instead of the resume_command inside os8script.py. This seems to operate reliably. check-in: 98ad1fc68b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 03:30 | Moved v3f-build.rk05 to the obj directory. Along the way taught os8-cp to do path expansion on names in dirs.py just like os8-run does. This enabled a simplificaiton and cleanup of Makefile.in because the actions file in .../src/os8/v3f/actions.txt simply says that the destination lives in $obj. Also needed to update dirs.py.in to know about obj, as it knows about bin. check-in: bb42538cf0 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 08:24 | Added (and in one case, reordered) some dependencies in the new os8-run based media build system so that all callers to os8-run from the Makefile now declare which media they require to exist before the script will run. Without this change, parallel makes are likely to fail because make is given the freedom to run targets before the things they're dependent upon exist. This is a branch rather than on the os8-v3f-extensions branch directly because I can't test it here against the tip of that branch due to a missing file.

| 03:49 | The new run-v3f target was depending on one of the two possible TU56 tape images that could be in boot/3.script after configure runs, meaning the dependencies were correct for only one of the two possible cases.

| 06:06 | Something I should have done long ago: If we're going to re-configure sys, then we should use a scratch copy. all-tu56.os8 now does that for the td12k builds. It doesn't need to do that for the tc08 builds so it doesn't bother. Also changed the filename of the scratch to use "-copy" in the name instead of "_copy" aligning with filename conventions. check-in: f67db97d71 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 05:40 | Fixed some noise. simh.py was printing stuff by default. Added a verbose internal variable to the simh object and updated os8-run and os8-cp.in to set that variable to True when they get the verbose option. check-in: fe46cf1a76 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 05:23 | FIXED problem where make kept re-making v3d-src.rk05: Misuse of os8-run mount command's option "preserve". The NEW version got a new name with a version number and the old version was kept. Make kept finding the original version. The CORRECT option to use is "new" not "preserve". check-in: 48bf62dd63 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:41 | all-tu56.os8 now copies in appropriate DECtape utilities: TD8E configs get: TDCOPY.SV, TDFRMT.SV TC08 configs get: DTCOPY.SV, DTFRMT.SV check-in: 4ee3a65c2a user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:30 | Enabled builds of all 4 tu56 images: v3d-tc08.tu56, v3d-td12k.tu56, v3f-tc08.tu56, v3f-td12k.tu56. Amended all-tu56.os8 and v3d-dist-rk05.os8 to put the following td8e drivers into the SYS:BUILD.SV image: TD8ESY.BN (12k system handler), ROMMSY.BN (rom system handler), TD8EA.BN. Left out were the B, C, and D TD8E non-system handlers. (I was paranoid about space.) Extensive comments in the scripts throughout on the various tradeoffs and dependencies. check-in: 0e4030caec user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 05:46 | Snapshot: Mostly working "all-tu56.os8" script that builds v3d or v3f on tc08 or td12k or tdrom system. TODO: More testing. Make the V3D rk05 BUILD.SV already contain the TD8E drivers. Decide on an INIT file. check-in: 857984d41b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 04:33 | Bug fixes to basic_line_parse. I'm using a LOT of conditionals now, and apparently there were several bugs that I missed: 1. basic_line parse was not using the stripped version of line. 2. The options stack pop was taking the the wrong member of the stack so it was a first in last out, instead of the intended first in first out stack. 3. The test for comments was on the pre-stripped line so that comments could not be indented with whitespace. check-in: bfccd73f14 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 23:15 | Added version and directory expansions into the print command. Includes print-test.os8 to test them. check-in: f14e1e8973 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:33 | The \s test for whitespace in tools/corecount wasn't working on NetBSD 6 for some reason, so changed it to the POSIX [[:space:]] character class. This should be effective on many more systems. check-in: b5e424045e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:35 | Got the build of os8-v3f for TD8E DECtape working again. Root cause: I still don't understand the BUILD command loop well enough, and I wrote it! I added a couple more special cases so now everything, including the TD8E build works. Clearer code will come when the pexpect loop is turned right way round. Couple things: Building the v3f tu56 images for BOTH TC08 and TD8E are now enabled by default. WARNING: If the TD8E build blows out it leaves the v3d.rk05 system pack with td8e devices enabled instead of tc08. The new script, v3d-reset-tc08.os8 fixes this. QUESTION: Do we make this situation more bullet proof by: Creating a copy of v3d.rk05 when we build for TD8E? or Building Unconditional cleanup code into os8-run for on-error, do such and such to clean up? Actually, I could probably modify the v3d-dist-rk05.os8 script to put both the TD8EA and TC08 drivers in the image of BUILD.SV, if there is room. Maybe I'll just do that. check-in: b24aa7b9d7 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:30 | Add dependency on patches. Note that this depends on ALL .patch8 file regardless of whether or not we actually use them. A finer grained dependency could be done in the future. check-in: b9ceacad42 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 01:24 | Further cleanup of Makefile.in: Further purging of "mkos8" methods and concepts: 1. MKOS8_OPTS->OS8_OPTS 2. Where mkos8 became os8-run rename files, directories, scripts and dependencies appropriately. 3. Eliminate 'mkos8' install dir and ctags. 4. Scripts named MKOS8_* now have names more related to their current function under os8-run, and may have been further changed to reflect our v3d/v3f naming and simplification. 5. make clean eliminated the mkos8 directory. 6. make targets for use by test-mkos8 updated with new names, but really needs to be redone now that patching is unconditional. check-in: d6f23aaeda user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 20:41 | Adopted new filename conventions: .mkos8 -> .os8 underscores to dashes test scripts end in -test instead of beginning with it Shortened names. Fixed up dependencies, including broken one on newly renamed v3f-*.tu56. check-in: 55e34d0b34 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 17:33 | Simplified version test. Warren justified "just test for version X or above" by showing allowing richer matches just made it easy for people to leaving incompatibilities in place. Changed name of the tester script to replace underscore with dash, say "version" first, and most importantly to adopt a new convertion: ".mkos8" scripts become ".os8". check-in: 1fcde938d6 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 01:32 | checkin cd80254374 was incomplete: auto.def created lib/mkos8 to host generated python files that are now kept in lib/pidp8, so we delete that line. Makefile.in still had the old MKOS8 python file list so 'make install' was doing the wrong thing.

| 03:34 | Remove the bespoke --enable-<foo> and --disable-<foo> arguments. Use the generic --enable and --disable arguments. Note that the usage message still informs about all known enable/disable args created in lib/mkos8/opts.py by auto.defs. However the usage message is clearer now and the arg parsing is simpler now. Note we delete the use of the fancy python argparse library. Nice as it was, we don't need it. The clearer usage message is also in the os8-run.md doc. check-in: 0f1c58479b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:14 | Bug fix: Enable/Disable args for fortran should have dash, not underscore in their names to work properly. check-in: e24681d721 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:12 | Bug fix: If we build with config option --os8-minimal, we won't build the os8v3d-patched.rk05 image. We only build os8-v3f from that image. --os8-minimal therefore should not attempt to build os8-v3f. check-in: e14bed0e60 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:59 | Bug-fix: When we use config option --os8-minimal the system image os8v3d-patched.rk05 does not exist. Creating the source packs does not require a patched system anyway, so we use os8v3d-bin.rk05. check-in: afabf0c0e7 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

The more correct term for how we build is "from distribution media" rather than "source media" because we don't build from source, and because "distribution media" is the correct term used for our baseline truth. 2. Cleaned up broken formatting in the pal8 section's bulleted list, and in the begin/end keyword table. 3. Added a comma in the boot section cuz it called out for one. :-) check-in: 6f606611aa user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:51 | Further exploration of what it means to resume OS/8. Comments in simh.py explain the problem: We need to provoke a prompt to re-synchronize with python expect after resuming the stuff that was running under SIMH. There is now a resume command that does the minimum, but it's not as minimal as I would like: It sends ^C, which forces a return to the keyboard monitor if you happen to use it in the following situation: Start an OS/8 program. Escape to SIMH Resume. The ^C will kill the OS/8 program and send you back to the keyboard monitor. This is less disruptive than go 7600, but still not ideal. Just sending newline, or multiple newlines, or erase character or kill line to the OS/8 keyboard monitor after issuing the continue command in SIMH does not work to give you a command prompt. The next revision, I think will touch many routines to do the following: Create a sense of when to abort the whole script. Allow the script runner to keep track of OS/8 context and either blow out when you try to issue an OS/8 command before having booted an image, or to resume OS/8 for you when you use simh commands. check-in: b1e7201347 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 04:03 | Apparently I never actually tested unset_option. Now It's working. tc08.mkos8 sets tc08 by default and unsets it if you specify td12k or tdrom on the command line. check-in: 02b01c97eb user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 04:36 | tc08.mkos8 now understand td8e as a common option to td12k and tdrom. Since we don't have a ROM config, we can't test tdrom, but the build of td12k with the common td8e stuff works.

| 03:50 | Successful run of mkos8 head -o tc08 and mkos8 head -o td12k with the code for OS/8 scripting pulled out of mkos8 and put into lib/os8script.py Also a style pass was run on the names of things. Additional os8script methods have been added: configure_command which is an interface to the simh change commands and which allows on-the-fly setting of options. unset_option_command that allows unsetting of an option. I want the configure command so I can get rid of the "simh" command. I don't want to allow full scripting of simh. But I might be wrong here. I want to ability to set options inside scripts because the tdrom config is a variation on td12k, and I can set a common sub-option for the common bits now. TODO: test mkos8 system with the new library. TODO: Change the "change_" interface because we are repeating the describe code. We should "set" options rather than "change from x to y". The change interface requires fetching status twice, first to figure out what to do, and second, when calling the do_routines, to recheck inputs.

| 01:40 | Simplified the check for SIMH commands that transition from SIMH context back to simulation context: it was listing all of the possibilities exhaustively, except only in lowercase. Neither is required: we can list only the first letter in uppercase, then slice the first letter off of the command and uppercase it before searching this list. This is both faster and more reliable.

| 04:27 | Cleaned up external use of simh_context. The housekeeping boiled down to three locations: 1. Initialize to simh. 2. back_to_cmd sets simh. 3. The clever part: in send_cmd, look to see if the command being executed enters the OS, and if so set context "os8". TODO: RE-test os8-cp and all legacy mkos8 commands to make sure I didn't break anything. Then remove the context commands.

| 05:22 | Ok, this is a bit gross. tc08.mkos8 now understands the td12k option, but it was a pain to get there. I had to create a simh command because we needed to disable dt and enable td. This also runs BUILD on os8v3d-patched.rk05 to switch from TC08 to TD8E drivers. It is very gross, but it does clean up after itself. (If it makes it all the way through.) This exploration has let me to believe that we might very well want to craft this as python code to, "Switch SIMH from DT to TD" and "Switch SIMH from RX01 to RX02". It is a mess of abstraction barrier violations to try and do it cleanly. So what we have now is a proof of concept. An icky one. check-in: 966fb1026b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 06:30 | Taught mkos8 a new run command: Options. Now, before the mkos8 command arg, you can have options, for example "tc08". In the script file you enclose options in begin option foo end foo If the command line argument specifies -o foo, the lines are used. If not, they are ignored. Optional blocks can appear in commands with their own command processors, and can be nested. In this way a single command file can be used with variations on the same theme depending on which option is enabled. check-in: 10848363e5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:41 | The test intended to skip re-installation of all the SIMH binary media and the SIMH boot scripts on a system where that has already been installed was checking for the existence of os8.rk05, which will only exist on a system that had 2017.04.04 or earlier installed on it. A system that was fresh-installed from 2017.12.22 wouldn't have this file, so the *next* installation (say, to check out the trunk version) was overwriting local media and script files. This is not going to affect people who used only release versions unless they manually did "make install" again for some strange reason. The more likely way this hits is for someone who first installed 2017.12.22 and then later checked out an unreleased version and installed it over the top of their release version. check-in: 43161ac30b user: tangent tags: trunk | |

This is needed to get the rewritten mkos8 working. This version of the rewritten mkos8 uses tc08.mkos8 to successfully redo all the things that were in the "head" command to create a bootable tc08 DECtape. TODO: 1. Change head to do run_system on that file. 2. Add code to enable v3f-control.mkos8 to reproduce what the "v3f" command does. 3. Do the same thing with bin, patch, src.

Leader-trailer of 0200 and the 000 is added at the end. It will be interesting to see what kind of transformations are done on transfers into OS/8. Will the ^Z be added to .BN format?

| 07:01 | Had to turn parse_args back into a subroutine, because the new parse_action_file overrode the action_plan being created. Pulled back in some of the old main because I'll reuse that code when I implement the copying. Shifted some of the globals from the middle of the file to the section labeled for globals. BTW: The override by --action-file is because parse_args did two passes: 1. read names and glob them. 2. turn globbed names into actions. The action file is all actions. We override because that way I don't have to write code to figure out how to do a partial second pass of what's already been parsed from the command line when we hit the --action-file argument. Icky, but... check-in: f3702ec3c4 user: poetnerd tags: os8-cp | |
| 05:09 | Merged trunk improvements check-in: cfe9f76381 user: tangent tags: os8-cp | |
| 04:54 | Renamed os8-cp --tc to --dt, properly reflecting the SIMH device name. I see why it was called --tc, but it was incorrect to map it to SIMH device name "TC" (no such thing) and it's confusing to those of us who know the SIMH device names. Better to just remain consistent throughout. check-in: 7b2a875a1b user: tangent tags: os8-cp | |
| 04:52 | Many improvements to the os8-cp USAGE message, especially in the area of media image options. check-in: be30dc52a4 user: tangent tags: os8-cp | |

| 03:17 | Replaced main() in os8-cp — which was almost completely commented-out from its prior form — with parse_args(), since all that was left of main() was a call to that function. check-in: 9cc31248aa user: tangent tags: os8-cp | |

| 02:40 | Added paragraph to the "Throttle Stabilization" section of README-throttle.md warning about upgrading an existing boot script setup. check-in: 73bb7661e3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:35 | Switched tools/bosi from the macOS rmtrash command to trash, which behaves better on multi-volume systems. check-in: 93ad7eeaf5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 09:46 | Added examples/fpptst.ft to demonstrate the generation of FPP12 instructions in OS/8 FORTRAN IV assembly (RALF) output even though the FPP feature of SIMH's PDP-8 simulator is not enabled by default in the PiDP-8/I stock simulator init scripts. check-in: bc13bb069b user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 03:43 | General command line utility to read from and write to OS/8 media using PIP. Currently supports .tu56 and .rk05. TODO: 1. Investigate adding a sacrificial extra character for file send to OS/8 in binary modes. 2. Detection of OS/8 Device full. 3. Support for copyin and copyout of the system area with PIP /Y check-in: 5d7366cdd5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-cp | |

2018-01-25

| 21:03 | Merged in an upstream SIMH improvement to the throttle stabilization code which avoids recalibrating the throttle timers on re-entering the simulation either due to Ctrl-E/cont at the terminal keyboard or CONT/START on the PiDP-8/I front panel. It simply continues using the values it determined before the simulation was stopped; it will still recalibrate itself periodically, it just doesn't start over from zero. check-in: cac1e79178 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 11:27 | Restored upstream SIMH commit ID b2b18de in preparation for doing a simh-update run.

| 03:50 | Changed the "screenu -S pidp8i -X quit" command in the do_stop() action for the pidp8i init script to "pkill -f pidp8i-sim". Quitting the screen(1) session does that and *only* that, leaving pidp8i-sim still running, at least on Raspbian Stretch; whereas killing off the simulator *does* abandon the screen(1) session. check-in: 474594821b user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 19:54 | Fixed a #include problem related to the new src subdirectory layout. It wasn't caught until now because it only affects ILS builds, and I've been testing off-Pi until now. check-in: 9a33c3f4b9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:52 | Updated SIMH to upstream commit 8494112ee4. Nothing of consequence has changed upstream as far as we are concerned, but I needed to test that tools/simh-update continues to function with the new src subdirectory layout. check-in: 0bd7f65cb0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:49 | Added src/SIMH/Makefile.in, which should have been included with the prior checkin. check-in: 62f98ec9c2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:48 | Moved SIMH source files into src/SIMH, leaving no actual source files in the top level of `src`. Saying `ls src` therefore now gets you a listing of the programs built from source code, with the exception of src/misc and src/asm, which contain single-module programs, which therefore do not deserve their own subdirectories yet. check-in: 44f74bca46 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:16 | Moved all remaining non-SIMH *.c files from src into src/misc. check-in: a6c903715f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:10 | Moved the PiDP-8/I specific C files that get built into pidp8i-sim into src/pidp8i. (This is the first in a series of src subdirectory cleanups.) check-in: 0fd5a04dc0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 03:29 | Removed lib/pidp8i/__init__.py and ips.py as dependencies of the RK05 disk images so that they don't rebuild just because you ran teco-pi-demo -b. That doesn't affect *how* the RK05s are built, just *how fast* they are built, which is already a fait accompli by the time this question comes up. check-in: 6c77f5fa80 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 22:09 | Modified the newly-created simh.os8_zero_core method to skip the top page of field 2, since it is reported that the OS/8 TD8E driver lives here. We don't use that driver in our current OS/8 disk distribution, but someone may later add that driver to their local clone of our software distribution then try running cc8-tu56-update (or some future script which also calls this new method) and be annoyed when their disk driver is MIA upon re-entering OS/8. check-in: 4b7c450799 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 12:29 | Updated ChangeLog check-in: 99c1dcabef user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:38 | Replaced our reliance on the usbmount package — which only works out of the box on Raspbian Jessie and older — with a shell script based on https://serverfault.com/a/767079 which incidentally gives us the freedome to improve on it. check-in: d136804bf1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:08 | Whitespace improvements to bldcc8.bi. It changes the order of files on the output tape for some reason, so cc8.tu56 is updated yet again. check-in: 2036c8a7b0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:55 | Assorted improvements to the main CC8 manual. check-in: 5545137c62 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:49 | Renamed CC.BI to CCR.BI. OS/8 isn't terribly smart about figuring out which "CC.*" you meant when you say "EXE CC", so we need a prefix that doesn't conflict with CC8 output files. The new name means "Compile C and Run." It is definitely not a classic rock pun. Definitely. check-in: 20d1ed131d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:14 | Assorted improvements in src/cc8/examples/README.md to track recent developments in CC8 land. check-in: c598b55169 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:42 | Added bldcc8.bi and cc.c to the list of files we delete from the working RK05 disk from cc8-tu56-update, since they're also temporaries. Also reworked the way we're handling the Python lists to avoid problems with OS/8 command line length limits. check-in: 5d10912237 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:56 | Reworked the newly-deterministic cc8.tu56 creation in terms of Python lists so the code is easier to expand and the file lists are easier to read. Also improved the comments. Removed a pointless and possibly dangerous "DEL *.C" command which we no longer need now that we've given up on using wildcards in the COPY commands. There still remains some source of mischief because cc8.tu56 changed again purely by building it on a different platform. check-in: 32e4c2a446 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:59 | Comment improvements check-in: e8175ab22c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:00 | Fix for [ab0e67]: In addition to unmounting the dt image explicitly, one needs to clean out any files from previous runs of the script. The OS/8 copy actions send output in the order found on the input disk. The Linker resolves library items in the order the input files are found on disk. So we must remove anything from a previous run of the program, and SQUISH SYS: and DSK: so that successive runs of the script will cause input and output files to ALWAYS show up in the same order on the disk. When this is done cc8.tu56 DOES come up bit identical. This checkin is for the good script and the resulting good (canonical) cc8.tu56. check-in: 6f59c23708 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 04:56 | I am concerned that one needs to explicitly detatch dectapes before quitting the simulator. I have added that to cc8-tu56-update. I am pushing out the cc8.tu56 I built with this version. It corrects a corrupt LIBC.RL that was in the previous version. Alas, this version of cc8-tu56-update STILL does not create bit-identical tape images on successive runs. check-in: 599e310e0e user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 14:43 | Merged in trunk improvements. Closing leaf: found a better way. Closed-Leaf check-in: 315af225b0 user: tangent tags: udevd-systemd-fix | |
| 14:34 | bosi init now kills off all processes for user 'pi' before usermodding it. Jessie didn't need this, but under Stretch, you have the "systemd --user" process and one other even after exec'ing yourself a pure root shell. check-in: 5b53879bca user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:28 | Replaced "build Fossil from source" stuff in bosi init with a wget call for the unversioned binary build previously published to the project site by tools/publish-fossil. check-in: 53f593579b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:38 | Rebuilt cc8.tu56. Prior one caused ERROR 0004. check-in: 2e5d30a5b3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:19 | Merged the branch backing out a change made upstream to SIMH back in August which screws up the fixed-rate simulator throttling. Hopefully we'll get a better fix later, but we've given upstream 3 days to fix this and we haven't even gotten a reply yet. check-in: 44bacd76c8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:16 | Jonathan Trites found a use of '\*' in a call to simh.os8_send_cmd() which we missed when fixing these escaping issues a while back. It's probably insignificant since it follows a short command, but it is at least sloppy, so it's worth fixing. check-in: f9cc818c8c user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:25 | The CC8 cross-compiler now writes out *.sb instead of *.s to match the OS/8 file naming convention for SABR output, and to avoid the confusing use of *.s for some POSIX assembly languages. It was using *.s simply because it could replace *.c on the input file name with a single character replacement. If the input file name is exactly at the file name buffer's limit (20 bytes, including the trailing null), we still write out *.s rather that mess with resizing buffers or reserving one byte, complicating all the other uses of that buffer size. check-in: 857b3fafc0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 03:32 | Updated autosetup to upstream Git commit b5a0e85d8 check-in: 7a12e8386e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:21 | Steve Bennett's idea for redesigning our mkos8/auto.def option sharing mechanism so that it doesn't require modifications to autosetup. Checkin it in on a branch because although it works, it's more complex and has other nonideal properties as compared to our previous solution. check-in: 4239a89d8a user: tangent tags: os8-option-share-msteveb | |
| 02:28 | Updated SIMH to current upstream version. The only substantial change from our perpsective is working around a change they made to scp.h which redefines all of ctype.h, then changes their names, forcing any program that indirectly included scp.h to also link to scp.o! Broke that tie by carefully reworking our #includes to avoid bringing scp.h into programs like pidp8i-test which do not link to the rest of SIMH. check-in: 0b8fb3f7d8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:08 | Updated SIMH to upstream commit 27f9fc3c3e7. Closed-Leaf check-in: 324c415192 user: tangent tags: simh-update | |

| 01:05 | The simh-update script was assuming that you had a local copy of all the unversioned SIMH documentation PDFs, or at least that it could "touch" those file names to force a delta. Now it exports a copy out of "fossil uv" instead. check-in: d37019060a user: tangent tags: simh-update | |

| 03:25 | Utility to create a .tu56 or a .rk05 image from a bunch of ASCII files (as in creating a source disk or tape.) Command line options select --tu56, --rk05a or --rk05b. The last argument is used to name a .list file that inventories input, and the image file. Example: txt2os8 --tu56 mytape creates mytape.tu56 with files found in manifest mytape.list check-in: 854a2cd68a user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 21:21 | Renamed CC0.SV to CC.SV and replaced references to it being a stub for the preprocessor, now calling it the compiler driver. If a preprocessor is ever written, the driver will call it before calling CC1. check-in: 38f376dfad user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 21:07 | Updated cc8.tu56 yet again. Something about [fad54ed921] fixed the problems I've been having with CC0 since int [2f2103d555]. check-in: 539ff193cb user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 17:49 | Reworked most of the *.c examples to be in the style required by the CC8 cross-compiler, then added the bin/cc8-to-os8 filter which converts them to the format expected by the OS/8 version of CC8. check-in: 2f2103d555 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 10:44 | Renamed init.pa to init.h. I just realized that this is a C header file dominated by a single block of inline assembly, which makes it irrelevant to the file naming whether it contains PAL8 compatible assembly language source code or SABR-only code. It's a header file, thus *.h. check-in: 5879d6f72b user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 12:14 | Added "int" return type to main() in pep001.c: the compiler currently requires it, but it won't warn or error if it isn't present, it'll just fail to do the right thing. Also renamed it to pep001-mod.c after the modulus operator it uses, since we're going to save the other version here next under a different pep001*.c name. check-in: f4a633c567 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
