| 17:16 | forgotten line from previous checkin check-in: 53d0aa19bd user: HBEggenstein tags: pi5-ils2-bookworm | |
| 17:07 | a)As ILS redraw loop is now executing faster and to accomodate fater Pi models, thefrequency at which LED status is updated is increased, so each redraw has at least 32, better ca 60 sampling points to work on, to use the fully brightness level range. b)The user tweakable RISING_FACTOR and FALLING_FACTOR values now also go thru self-calibration, making them comparable among different users and hence potentially different Raspberry Pi models. check-in: f0642ec578 user: HBEggenstein tags: pi5-ils2-bookworm | |
|
2024-05-26
| ||
| 21:19 | Some changes to the ILS code aiming to make it useable for all 40-pin header Raspi Pi models from RPi Zero to RPi 5, for a unified 'Bookworm' 32 bit OS image. The ILS code is performance optimized to allow execution on RPi Zero (when SIMH is throttled to realistic IPS), contains self-calibration to adjust to different execution speeds and has a means for tweaking the ILS effect for expert users. check-in: e29ea438fd user: HBEggenstein tags: pi5-ils2-bookworm | |

| 02:55 | oops! I missed a couple merge conflicts and broke the pi platform. Fixed now. check-in: 824e023952 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 01:48 | Cherrypicked from the pi5 branch. Split out the gpio stuff so that it does not build on non-Pi Platforms unless forced with a new binary option "force-pidp8i". Required adding a bunch of #ifdef PIDP8I in SIMH/PDP8/pdp8_cpu.c. Ripped out the bcm_host stuff because I think it's invalid for pinctrl. Passes tests on the Mac. Now let's see what I broke on the Pi side. TODO: Clean up what are probably messy approaches in auto.def check-in: 609e37c0b9 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 18:16 | Took an updated pinctrl from upstream. Removed use of pinctrl.o. We don't seem to need it, and so we don't need to remove main etc. from it. Rolled back my change to gpiochip.h. Going to disable gpio builds on non-pi platforms. check-in: 1bf02a37f0 user: poetnerd tags: pi5 | |

| 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.

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 | |

2021-04-23

| 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 | |

| 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.

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 19:15 | 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 | |

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.

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.)

| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 23:01 | 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 | |

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!

| 18:42 | Worked around a screwy interpretation of @srcdir@ in Autosetup's handling of @include@ which caused out-of-tree builds fail in the generation of boot/*.script from boot/*.script.in.

| 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 | |
| 18:49 | Further updates to class-simh.md to talk about quit with error checking. Added lots of error checking to calls out to simh_cmd. TODO: Investigate apparent bug in all-tu56.os8 that mounts drivers on DT instead of TD when builtding td8e v3f. Why doesn't BUILD complain?? check-in: bb9fb5438d 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 | |
| 13:43 | Added new version of pal8 command: Quits trying to analyze the PAL8 command line. Just passes it. We report errors now, so we can be more liberal in ingest. TODO: Remove old code. Document removal of limitations. check-in: a69c492982 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 | |

| 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 | |
| 01:59 | Root cause of "NO CCL!" noise: Our built image inherits whether or not INIT is set. A blank tape will complain "NO CCL!" on first boot. Fixed. check-in: 45e0339c8b user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |
|
2020-05-05
| ||
| 22:01 | Further cleanups: auto.def also needed deletion of txt2os8.in. Finally got rid of the copy_pair stuff. We've not used it years. Added a higher level os8_escape routine to replace in-line calls to os8_send_ctrl with higher level os8_escape. Added documentation of more stuff in class-simh.md. Noticed several commands were not testing successful monitor prompt. Fixed. TODO: Still getting a surprise "NO CCL!" from all-tu56.os8 as well as a complaint of an unexpected Monitor prompt. check-in: 849d7d9d03 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |
| 03:51 | Remove mention of txt2os8.in from Makefile.in check-in: 2d37892c35 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |
| 03:50 | txt2os8 never finished porting to python3. It has been superseded by os8-cp. Rather than port it to python3, debug it, and then port it to the new flipped expect event order, I'm deleting it. check-in: f26ab5cc0a user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |
| 03:37 | Added pal-test.os8 script and media/os8/PALTST.PA file used by it. This universe now gets all the way through from make clean to success reported by all scripts. However I saw a couple of reports of unexpected replies that were not deemed fatal. Along the way, I realized that PAL8 and BUILD wanted their reply lists IN ADDITION TO the default _os8_replies list. TODO: Continue pruning. check-in: 3c431bc4e3 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |

| 03:58 | Updated class-simh.md. That drove getting teco-pi-demo fully converted to python3, adding a -f for full speed option, and conversion to the flipped pexpect main loop. Fixed a race condition in os8-cp where it forgot to test for return to monitor after getting directory listing. Some style cleanups. This looks like it's actually working! TODO:Further testing. Review cdprog_subcomm. check-in: c5c55a3351 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |

| 23:39 | Snapshot: v3d-dist-rk05.os8 seems to run. Had to fiddle with os8_pip_to because the command decoder prompt you get when you do a continuation on a PTR: transfer has no preceding newline. But EVERYTHING else needs that newline, otherwise you match on file specs with an asterisk wild card. Gross hack specific to os8_pip_to deals. check-in: bb2c3a92d2 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |
| 04:56 | Snapshot: Some more of os8script.py is working again in the new way. Tomorrow I take on a rewrite of build. It SHOULD be cleaner now. check-in: 4b9b9bd4a4 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |
| 03:52 | pal8 command is migrated. Now displays all errors and exits gracefully. TODO: 1. Turn my internal testing script into a useful harness. Next step: Continue sweep thru os8script.py. Focus on v3d-dist-rk05.os8. Also: Consider teaching 3 arg pal8 to use call_pal8 since it's so good now about repoting errors. (At issue is that the errors are in the listing in the 3 arg call.) check-in: 3e98a230f0 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |
| 00:41 | Eliminate use of os8_send_cmd and send_cmd in simh.py.in. 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. Everywhere else we flipped over to simh_cmd. check-in: 2413983604 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |

| 04:52 | Bug fix for os8-cp under python3. In the course of other branch work I discovered a use of _child.before without "decode()". Anyone running os8-cp in a python3 environment would have not been able to copy wild card specified file lists from OS/8. check-in: a32e5897f5 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 04:37 | One little style-y thing. os8_pip_from appears to work, but I need to check the wild carding that uses directory output. check-in: e318bad0e5 user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |
| 04:31 | Beginnings of flipping the execution order for all of pexpect simh. This checkin has os8-cp converted to the new way. copy_to has been tested. copy_from needs a few cleanups. LOTS of cool error checking is possible. Some is implemented. check-in: 1b33e7e1ae user: poetnerd tags: flip-expect | |

2020-04-29

| 04:51 | 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 | |
| 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 | |

| 03:03 | Taught the pal8 command in os8-run about options, removing a documented limitation. Updated the os8-run.md doc as well. check-in: 93e583cc67 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 02:56 | Cleanup: Got rid of absldr and fotp sub-commands of begin/end in os8-run. They were never used, never documented, and diverging from the common (redundant) implementation of cdprog. check-in: 691a4648e8 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 02:50 | pip_to_replies is now the same as cd_replies. So we just use cd_replies. check-in: 66041fe979 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 19:05 | Snapshot: Add images and builders for BASIC and FORTRAN II on one image and FORTRAN IV on the other image. TODO: Teach the builders how to build. ALSO: Don't forget to build the rest of the device drivers in SYS. check-in: 5a28d1aa6a user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni | |
| 18:08 | Oops. Missed one file in CUSPS: MSBAT.PA. Now all are built. TODO: Begin working on one or more languages rk05 uni build. check-in: dd2021aeec user: poetnerd tags: os8-uni | |
| 17:58 | 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 | |
| 04:41 | 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 | |
| 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 | |
| 01:25 | 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 | |

| 00:22 | Added support for Pi 4 GPIO, based on code the Raspberry Pi Foundation published: https://github.com/RPi-Distro/raspi-gpio/commit/80fa7d04eafb3ea34fc6f2d32de5f1873b5fb369 This check-in is based on a version of gpio-common.c.in posted to the PiDP-8 Google Group by Oscar Vermeulen, which is why we're giving him credit for this check-in, even though I (tangent) have done quite a lot of changes to that code, mainly to match the existing code style. This is a branch because it conflicts with the current tip-of-trunk and because it's not yet tested on a Pi 4. It is unknown whether this branch will end up overriding the method we're using on trunk for Pi 0-3 or if we will instead wait for the Foundation to publish a new libbcm_host that obviates some of what this check-in does.

| 23:31 | Calling bcm_host_get_peripheral_address() in libbcm_host.so from libraspberrypi-dev instead of the hard-coded version we had before, which was apparently copied from old versions of the Pi developer docs. 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. Tested with a Pi 3B+, so checking it in straight on trunk. check-in: 55cfea5027 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 19:19 | Removed the handler for "freeze display on STOP" to match Ian Schofield's original "LED dithering" ILS-lite patch for the Pi Zero. Leaf check-in: 7d1cd49fe2 user: tangent tags: pi-zero-ils | |
| 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 | |
| 11:03 | Removed an obsolete FIXME comment check-in: 0d1ada3484 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 21:49 | Another systemd workaround for WSL check-in: 91ff28ae9d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 20:19 | Fixes to bin/pidp8i for systems that either have no systemd or where (as on WSL) it's broken. In these cases, the script approximates a SysV init script. check-in: 279555ae38 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 20:18 | Fix for Cygwin "which" in bin/pidp8i: unlike typical implementations, it gripes on stderr when it can't find a match in the PATH. Sending stderr to /dev/null. check-in: 15389943a9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 18:35 | Added all of the files renamed in [1860880163] to *.in to the Makefile's INFILES variable, so we autoreconf when any of them get touched. check-in: c67bd86630 user: tangent tags: os8-run-python3 | |

| 18:25 | The configure script now detects whether Python 2 or 3 is installed, and what its binary is called. If both are installed, it prefers Python 3. This then substitutes the value found into all scripts and module shebang lines that previously hardcoded "/usr/bin/env python". With this move, several files got renamed to *.in, as they previously had no other reason to be treated as Autosetup templates. check-in: 1860880163 user: tangent tags: os8-run-python3 | |

| 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.

| 03:16 | On "make install" the *.script files have their savestate directories changed to $prefix/share/save, rather than depend on %HOME% in that condition. check-in: 5846d941cb user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:14 | Reworked the PiDP-8/I custom SIGINT handler in terms of SIGTERM now that SIMH handles that properly. check-in: f4e7086472 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:04 | Extracted common elements of most boot/*.script files to boot/common.script.in and applied final changes that allow SIGTERM to work as we expect. Closes [ce9ea9c96]. check-in: dc8791be53 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 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 | |

| 11:51 | "make run" now uses scanswitch to detect lack of GPIO, so it runs the simulator as "pdp8" not "pidp8i-sim" when there is no PiDP-8/I panel. check-in: cd3145ad2d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:49 | More print() fixes, this time for os8-cp. check-in: e05a907c3f user: tangent tags: os8-run-python3 | |
| 11:38 | Fixed a case where pexpect is giving us a byte string, which annoys Python's regex matcher. Explicitly converting it to an ASCII text string. It's basically a null operation, but it makes Python 3 happy. check-in: 560dc8061a user: tangent tags: os8-run-python3 | |
| 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. Returning 127 as that script expects rather than change the script, since the script has established a kind of contract. check-in: 07be964914 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 07:33 | Merged in the tiny trunk differences relative to the SIMH update accidentally checked in on this branch. Now this branch contains only the Python 2-ism fixes relative to trunk. check-in: 18d667556a user: tangent tags: os8-run-python3 | |
| 07:25 | Updated SIMH to latest upstream. No functional change relative to prior source base as far as I can tell from the commit history since the last update. check-in: fc1b9bc0e9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:33 | Replaced use of dict.iteritems() with items() check-in: 394ecc357c user: tangent tags: os8-run-python3 | |
| 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 | |

| 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 | |

| 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 | |
| 02:39 | Added OPDEFs for DILX, DILY, and DIXY instructions to VC8E, shortly to be used within CC8's dispxy() LIBC routine. check-in: 281ab90846 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 | |

| 05:03 | Decided to put the "1" back at the beginning of the addresses for the UDF ranges in the CC8 manual: it's a pretty good bet that the UDF will remain field 1 despite LOADER jiggery-pokery. check-in: d166926273 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:51 | Changed all of the bare CRs in the output from the final stage of the OS/8 CC8 (CC2.SV) to CRLFs. This solves a problem where PIP couldn't read the input file correctly, preventing us from using os8-cp in ASCII mode to copy the CC.SB file out to examine it in a civilized text editor. check-in: 529c0ee697 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 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 | |

| 01:23 | Documented the breakdown of Field 1 usage by CC8 check-in: f289a33de1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:03 | src/cc8/os8/header.sb was using size-4 hard tabs to emulate size-8 hard tabs, causing ugly output when you TYPE CC.SB or HEADER.SB on the OS/8 side. Changed these to size-8 hard tabs. Also added a Vim modeline to the top of the file to ensure that Vim (at least) will preserve our intent here. check-in: e7dd3c2c38 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 09:13 | Fixed a bug introduced by [c20811f34c] affecting uses of printf "%d": the implementation wasn't passing "10" as the new radix parameter. It wasn't caught because CC8, being a K&R dialect, doesn't need or support function prototypes. check-in: a230f38ad3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 05:05 | Added "Predefined OPDEFs" section to the inline assembly section of the CC8 manual, documenting the op-codes CC8 predefines in SABR output. check-in: 4a52fc8c15 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:30 | Fixed some nonstandard OPDEFs in the SABR code generated by CC8: its "MQA" is normally called "ACL", and its nonstandard "MQO" opcode is what's normally called "MQA". check-in: a96f0c5f20 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 | |

| 03:40 | Added %X support to CC8's sprintf(), now that %x means "lowercase hex." check-in: 99491648cd user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:31 | The CC8 LIBC's itoa() function now has a radix parameter, like the function of the same name common in Windows and DOS C compiler standard libraries. This also effectively exposes the previously internal itoab() function, itoa() basically acting as a wrapper for it for bases other than 10 and for positive values in base 10. That is, the only difference between the two is for negative values in base 10. check-in: c20811f34c user: tangent tags: trunk | |

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 | |

| 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.

| 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 | |

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 | |

| 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 | |

| 02:40 | 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 | |

| 10:21 | 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 | |

| 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.

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.

| 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 | |

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.

| 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 | |

| 05:23 | 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 | |

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.

| 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 | |

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 | |

| 19:00 | Ian Schofield sent a second patch via private email claiming to have solved the MA/MB value problems in pause mode. This checkin is loosely based on that patch. It needs testing: thus the branch. check-in: 78642e72ce user: tangent tags: ma-mb-pause-fixes | |

| 01:04 | Fixed a bug in the handling of the OSR instruction which can cause L to be set if the next GPIO pin up from those used by the SR lines happens to be set when you issue that instruction. This one goes back to v20151215! check-in: ffb387c4eb user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 03:49 | Removed a redundant command in "make mediainstall" for the *.mkos8 scripts. check-in: 3850186b5d user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 21:13 | Version detection code implemented. test_version.mkos8 updated. It seems to work for the cases I could think of. check-in: 43311b0e87 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:11 | Added a print command. This, together with exit will be useful when version actions are enabled. check-in: ba11dee8b4 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:56 | Add "exit" command that interfaces to python sys.exit() procedure. Enables immediate script termination and optional signaling of status, and also optional print of a string. check-in: 17fb06b45f user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:54 | Test script as we work through implementing version conditionals. check-in: aec3815e47 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 12:54 | Reduced the "Applying patch..." output to a single line to reduce verbosity in normal builds. check-in: 220dc69120 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 02:15 | I had habituated a misunderstanding of python regular expression syntax. Consequently I kept using '?' when I needed to use '*'. Particularly in allowing whitespace. This change corrects those regular expressions. check-in: cde469f6f9 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

2018-07-25
| ||
| 01:58 | Silenced verbosity by default (again). When I went to the simpler parser, I forgot that I'd enabled VERBOSE by default. This should quiet things down. check-in: 7c305890df user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 19:55 | Merged trunk changes in, in preparation for merging this branch down to trunk. check-in: 834dd5121b user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:19 | Renamed $mkos8_opts and obj/mkos8.opts in auto.def to $os8_opts and obj/os8.opts, respectively. check-in: cd80254374 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:11 | Moved the mkos8.opts Python module to pidp8i/os8opts. That left the mkos8 namespace empty, so I removed that. Also removed the old_parse_args() function in os8-run while in there: dead code. check-in: 91c681d0dd user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-07-23
| ||
| 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 | |
| 02:57 | Bug fix: rename of os8_pip_into to os8_pip_to wasn't propagated to this program that used the routine. check-in: 623cab985e user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-07-22
| ||
| 22:22 | Improve pal8 command: 1. Allow whitespace between arguments. 2. Fix a bug that caused the (apparently untested) 3 arg form not to work at all. 3. Clarify in the documentation the rationale for the command, and warn of its possible removal. TODO: Possibly expand the command to pass in arguments. check-in: c67efce19c user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:34 | Forgot to update the TODO to remove the order to implement restart. It's now implemented. check-in: 1a7abaa401 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:16 | Added restart command and test_restart.mkos8 to test it. Note that test_restart.mkos8 assumes existence of test_copy.tu56 that is made by test_copy.mkos8, and system_v3f_tc08.tu56 made by os8-v3f-tape.mkos8. check-in: a86f9935a6 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:31 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #6: convert copy_to and copy_from to cpto and cpfrom respectively. This completes the project to eliminate multi-word commands from os8-run. check-in: 547a96be48 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 19:06 | Added more clarification around case sensitivity throughout. (Also pruned a note about multi-word mount options that is no longer relevant.) check-in: d4c9e2f654 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
|
2018-07-21
| ||
| 04:16 | Improved documentation of mount/umount: 1. Explain the rationale for using the POSIX commands. 2. Clarify how the "new" and "preserve" options behave DIFFERENTLY with regards to file preservation. 3. Add an example of use of the "new" option. 4. Update the mount examples to use the $foo path expansions. check-in: f30b93a62d user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:19 | Minor cleanups: 1. 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 | |
| 03:15 | Renamed copy_into and pip_into to copy_to and pip_to respectively. This is because I decided that copy "to/from" made more intuitive sense than copy "into/from". check-in: 08108fae33 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 04:05 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #5: "read-only" becomes either "ro" or "readonly". check-in: 41ec8eeaef user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:55 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #4: "must-exist" becomes "required." Lots of scripts touched but it was worth it, I think. check-in: fb4201a2c5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:42 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #3: "copy_scratch" becomes "scratch". The meaning is probably clear enough without "copy". check-in: 6a2f3bb5fc user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:28 | Removal of multi-word commands from os8-run #2: "not-disabled" becomes "default". Not only does this make the parser cleaner and simpler, the description of what is being done becomes simpler. This is a GOOD change. check-in: 762a5798db user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:03 | Eliminating multi-word hyphenated commands from os8-run #1: "no-overwrite" becomes "preserve". check-in: ac83408912 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 18:55 | Tiny cleanup: Changed variable "MKOS8" to "OS8RUN". Removed mkos8 program because it has been subsumed by os8-run. Further cleanups of the simh.py and os8script.py libraries will not be backwards compatible with the use made by mkos8. check-in: 61529b46b6 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 22:05 | Added code to Makefile.in to create the os8 v3f build rk05 image. TODO: Figure out how to make the image in an object directory instead of the src directory. Problem is with os8-cp and the manifest file actions.txt assuming current working directory. check-in: 0e628cd6fc user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:58 | Two short test scripts for testing the copy and patch commands. Note that they have not been converted to the new script location and use of directory expansion. Nevertheless they might be useful to someone. check-in: b118d2fbe5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 20:49 | Clean up mess made on first attempt to move scripts to new home. Includes a bug fix to Makefile.in where I missed a backslash, and a bug fix to simh.py which would blow out if your branch has upper case characters in it. check-in: 303cb7f12b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

Confirm this all works for someone else. 4. CLEANUPS. check-in: c610c24d5d user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 01:47 | The done command was a mistake and now is gone. I realized it was a mistake when, we executed it in an included script, the scratch files were removed. Rather than creating a per-script scratch list, I moved the final cleanup to the main os8-run code and deleted the done command. check-in: 8b66b4f06b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:36 | In cutting over to using os8-run I realized I needed a mount option that lets the script create a new empty image file and saves a pre-existing version. The "new" option to mount is now implemented. check-in: 26c846c5ce user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 02:31 | Teach call_pal8 to detect failure of PAL-8 to start. TODO: Re-do ALL the calls to os8_send_cmd to shift from looking for a command prompt before beginning a command and then maybe testing the command result (which is currently implemented with os8_send_cmd (prompt_string, command) ) to: Running a command and then testing the result. Yes, this means that pretty much the entirety of the command execution and result testing has been implemented in the wrong order. check-in: 6ce374d437 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:26 | Teach copy_from and copy_into how to recognize when PIP failed to start. Tweak err_test.mkos8 to test that this is working. check-in: fc92e8017b user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

2018-05-18
| ||
| 05:01 | Added path expansion to copy_into and copy_from. Fixed two related bugs: 1. path expand needed to use os.path.join to deal with how dirs.py ends some dirs with a slash, and some not. 2. copy_into and copy_from needed to check to see if the system was booted. (I'd forgotten this requirement, didn't boot the dectape, and could not understand why things were failing.) TODO: Add catching of "PIP.SV NOT FOUND" in copy_into and copy_from. check-in: e927586fb2 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 05:00 | Added directory expansion for Anchor directores found in dirs.py.in. This necessitated offering them up in an associative array, as well as directly in dirs.<varname>. TODO: Document this.

| 23:41 | I thought I tested this way of implementing resume, but apparently not. This fixes the new resume to work the way the previous check-in should have worked. check-in: 24125be341 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 | |

| 22:33 | Refine two different options parsing strategies: In current strategy, be clearer on the effect of --enable and --disable args. In an alternate strategy, --enable-foo and --disable-foo become two word arguments. This can be done without changing the actions of auto.def, but DOES require changes to how configure would parse command line arguments. check-in: 1dc45457c5 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 22:32 | Several minor improvements to HACKERS.md check-in: 3c19d18b26 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:58 | Fixed argument parsing in mkos8 that I broke when I was experimenting with and evolving the ideas of how to pass in new options. Now instead of -o --option, mkos8 responds to --enable and --disable To set open ended enablement and disablement options that are not defined elsewhere. check-in: 025010d6f3 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 00:01 | os8-run now does patching and with os8v3d-patch.mkos8 reproduces full functionality of mkos8 patch. Additional command, "copy" added to take the os8v3d-bin.rk05 image and copy it into a new file os8-v3d-patched.rk05. The latter file is then mounted and patched, just like mkos8 does it. check-in: 3f562abc9c user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 04:35 | New option to mount, "copy_scratch" that creates a writeable scratch copy of what is to be mounted, which gets deleted when done.

| 03:55 | The script runner now has the "Set INIT message" functionality: 1. We don't create INIT.CM with the editor. Instead we copy it in just as we do with INIT.TX. 2. os8script.py now has script interfaces to the simh.py routines: copy_into -> os8_pip_into copy_from -> os8_pip_from 3. os8v3d-bin.mkos8 is updated. Booting the resulting rk05 image DOES run the INIT.CM script properly. TODO: 1. Figure out an interface in the script runner for the functionality of: "create a bootable dectape copy from the read-only distribution tape." 2. Implement the believed-to-be-straightforward exercise of enabling patches. 3. Figure out an interface/convention for the root of relative paths when the script runner runs. (dirs.os8mi equivalent) 4. Come to closure on the design for package management/options. check-in: cd285d1672 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:39 | Bugfix: os8_pip_from was parsing the os8 name with "index" when it needed to be "find". (Index returns a value error, and find returns -1 if substring not found. I'd transposed them.) check-in: 0ebe98bd1c user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 03:08 | Bug fix: We never before tested calling os8_pip_from and os8_pip_into with a null option argument. The code didn't actually work because we were treating option later as a string. Now if the arg is not present, or None we set it to the empty string. check-in: 8bbca41e87 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 20:58 | Checkin [b3e6e42a77] caused the simulator to crash on exit on non-Pi platforms since no PiDP-8/I panel is present, causing the graceful shutdown to fail. This is harmless most of the time, since the simulator is dying anyway, but it was causing pexpect to choke during the mkos8 process when run on non-Pi platforms. check-in: 4891e80bbc user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 21:15 | Changed the signaling and timing of "pidp8i stop" to be more reliable about quickly stopping, so we don't need to escalate to a kill -9.

| 10:32 | Backed out Ian Schofield's attempt to fix the MB display, [5597b069b2]. Going on the principle of charity here, I assume that change isn't entirely wrong, but it has the side effect of breaking MB display while in "stopped" state, where people are expecting to see the result of EXAM switch presses here, a documented behavior of the PDP-8/I. See p.93 in the 1967 edition of the Small Computer Handbook and page RIM-3 (PDF page 35) in the PDP-8 System User's Guide from 1969.

Instead of "configure option" we have "enable". Instead of "unset_option" we have "disable". The command line "-o" and "--option" are now "--enable" and "--disable". os8-run makes a stab at using lib/mkos8/opt.py.

| 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.

| 02:35 | If you call simh.os8_send_ctrl('e'), the object now marks itself as "in SIMH context". This supports legacy uses of the class where transitions had to be done manually. check-in: c507e7ba49 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |
| 02:30 | In two places, class simh was sending the same command to SIMH then calling parse_show_tti() on the result. Moved the command call into that function and renamed it get_tti(). check-in: fb6100a681 user: tangent tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 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.

| 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 | |

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.

| 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 | |

| 04:50 | Finally bit the bullet and added a _context to simh object so we now EXPLICITLY keep track of what command context we are in, and we can now explicitly know, "You have to do s.back_to_cmd so you're back in the simh context and can issue those commands." 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. Open issue: How do we want to re-express all the optional build stuff? I think the cleanest way is to have os8-v3d-patched.mkos8.in check-in: e0b7feccad user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

| 06:17 | SNAPSHOT: Beginnings of yet another mkos8 rewrite. This one creates a "system" command that reads in a control file and parses it into call outs to OS/8 in simh. It is half done. When there is a complete first draft, then we go back and see what can be pruned. Still being considered: How much parsing and filtering should we do for lines being passed into OS/8? check-in: c3d90b5b86 user: poetnerd tags: os8-v3f-extensions | |

They work as expected: /B in PIP pads the ptp device with lots of null leader/trailer. Specifically, 192 bytes are added at the beginning; Any ^Z at the end of the original .BN format file is removed. Any NULL padding in the OS/8 filesystem after the end of file is removed. 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? Will a sacrificial character on paper tape input be needed? /I returns the binary bits verbatim. The default transfer mode has been changed from /B to /I.

| 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.

| 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 | |
| 22:08 | Extracted the core zeroing code chunks from cc8-tu56-update into methods of class simh. They may prove broadly useful. check-in: f79b1587bc 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 | |

| 14:34 | 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 | |

| 06:26 | cc8-tu56-update no longer copies basic.c to the tape image: the OS/8 compiler isn't currently able to compile it. check-in: 20a61bf4e6 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 | |

| 03:21 | Steve Bennett's idea for redesigning our mkos8/auto.def option sharing mechanism so that it doesn't require modifications to autosetup.

| 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 | |

| 22:55 | Imerged in trunk fix to avoid needless RK05 rebuilds Closed-Leaf check-in: fa23d2380e user: tangent tags: usb-scan-depth-increase | |
| 22:54 | No longer rebuilding bin/*.rk05 just because the simulator got rebuilt. (Moved $(SIM) to the other side of the | in the rule to make it an exists-only dependency.) check-in: fd495f8920 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 18:17 | Broadened the /media/usb[0-7]/FILE.EXT scheme used by the SING_STEP + DF feature so that it works for /media/DIR/FILE.EXT, where DIR is any directory under /media. The intent is that this work for systems that use something other than usbmount but which also automount USB at the top level of /media, the standard location on Linux. This is untested, but it should work where Raspbian Desktop's USB automounting scheme overrides usbmount and other similar schemes. check-in: 82abd3a7bc user: tangent tags: usb-scan-depth-increase | |

| 13:07 | Reworked pep001.c in terms of the new modulus operator support. (The only reason I checked in the previous ire0() based versions is because they're used to tell the story in the PEP001.C wiki article I'm composing, and I'd like to be able to pull those versions back out of source control again later.) check-in: 199a0dff7e user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 10:32 | Extracted the manual COMP and LOADER steps in tools/cc8-tu56-update out as an OS/8 batch script (bldcc8.bi) which we send along with all the other static text files. This eliminates the possibility of any differences in the back-and-forth between cc8-tu56-update, pexpect, and SIMH from causing differences in the resulting cc8.tu56 file, which we're also checkin in at this time. check-in: ab58d17e25 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 13:09 | Reworked the "build PS.CC" example in src/cc8/README.md to use CC0 instead of CC1. I find it considerably easier. check-in: 1d737f0325 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:06 | Removed cc8.rk05 and its boot script now that os8v3d-*.rk05 is a functional superset of it. check-in: 882b8a05b7 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:52 | bosi prepare now sets up auto-expanding root filesystem check-in: 666c3dbe59 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:43 | Moved the "zero core memory" step up a bit within cc8-tu56-update: it was between the mag tape and disk pack attachment commands to SIMH, and there's no good reason to split those two. Since it's easier to do it before attaching media than to slide it in between the attachments and the boot command, I've done it that way. check-in: 0a87f19eed user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:34 | Updated cc8.tu56 after the zero-core fix. check-in: bd1d639081 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:32 | cc8-tu56-update now zeroes core before beginning work. Since it uses the OS/8 SAVE command, it really needs known prior core contents before we do the SAVE, else the output is nondeterministic. check-in: 5b75dd49a0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 08:01 | Removed ASCII 127 from the set of characters we send via tools/test-os8-send-file: it's clearly being interpreted, causing needless differences in the test output. check-in: 94811a17f0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:54 | Removed double quotes from "attach ptp FILENAME" command sent by simh.os8_send_file(). SIMH doesn't let you quote a file name; implicit in that is that we're dependent on Python's temp file naming scheme not to give us a string with spaces or other problematic characters. check-in: a78fadf377 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 16:16 | Merged "make clean" improvements in from trunk Closed-Leaf check-in: 93a3d15c0a user: tangent tags: cc8-64-bit | |
| 16:16 | Added several things to "make clean". check-in: cc50ffe3d1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:01 | First steps toward making the cc8 cross-compiler run correctly on 64-bit systems where sizeof(int) != sizeof(char*). See ticket [a3f875cd] for details. check-in: d75851a10e user: tangent tags: cc8-64-bit | |
| 15:23 | Assorted fixes to allow the cc8 cross-compiler to build in Xcode: added "return 0" to functions without an explicit return value which don't end in a return statement in all code paths; renamed kill() to kill_line() to avoid conflicting with the POSIX syscall; and removed link(), which also conflicts with POSIX syscall set, but isn't actually used here. Also fixed line ending styles and re-removed the getchar() at the end of main(). check-in: 27e81d863c user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 19:41 | A few typo fixes in previous check-in: c9b341cd23 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:36 | Reworked the "Government Health Warning" section of the CC8 README to split the limitations apart from the list of known-working features. Also spread the recently added "Nov 2018" (sic) stuff through the document rather than just have it tacked onto the end. check-in: be43971b09 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 17:06 | Added "fossil sync" fix for anonymous clones in the "Fossil Developer Access" section of HACKERS.md. Also promoted some inline URLs from http to https. check-in: 42548b4bd2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:51 | Extended the "skips" mechanism used in the "mkos8 patch" facility so that we can skip the FUTIL V7 patches when MACREL is being installed, since we know they will fail. Technically speaking, this change is not absolutely necessary since mkos8 was already smart enough to cope with the failure of the patch to apply, but we don't want end users complaining about "failed patches", not realizing that they are not expected to apply correctly when you do not give --disable-os8-macrel. check-in: faec308ed2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:38 | Update of include file names. check-in: f12365e05c user: isysxp tags: trunk | |
| 16:04 | This update contains a correction for the expression parser and the addition of 2 operators ...% and ~. In addition, the spacing issue has been resolved to a degree. This is very difficult to test. Overall, the native compiler is for a bit of fun. If you want to run a serious c programme, try the hosted compiler (cc8) as this will compile the (native) compiler and library. check-in: 05b40e1d4c user: isysxp tags: trunk | |
| 13:33 | Updated ChangeLog.md. check-in: a87371e238 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:15 | Merged in trunk changes; closing branch as it has been superceded by Ian checking the fixes (plus more) in later down the trunk. Closed-Leaf check-in: 17057db60f user: tangent tags: cc8-fixes | |
| 12:52 | We were not resetting the simulator's Pause state at the end of every IOT state, so that the ILS sampling scheme would tend to over-count the number of instructions that had the Pause LED lit. Problem noticed by Ian Schofield, fix by me. check-in: adf01e8579 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:46 | No longer passing the PDP-8 simulator's MB register to set_pidp8i_leds() from within the CPU instruction dispatch loop. According to Ian Schofield, the simulator's IR register actually contains what should display in the MB lights at these call points. Since we were already passing that register, we just dropped the parameter we no longer use, and use IR instead. Closes [973271ae36]. check-in: 5597b069b2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 12:18 | Folded the non-duplicate parts of the "OS8 System Packs" wiki article into the top-level README.md file so we can remove the unversioned wiki article in favor of this versioned file. check-in: 5361575d8e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:27 | Merged configure/mkos8 argument parsing DRY fixes. Closes [f5d5cf50c4] and [68dae7cc88]. check-in: ed0480e0be user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:13 | Makefile.in fixes for out-of-tree build-and-install. Some of it is for the new lib/mkos8/opts.py but it also affects the rest of lib/mkos8. Closed-Leaf check-in: b497ea1d85 user: tangent tags: mkos8-option-dry-fix | |
| 09:29 | The configure script now makes the lib/mkos8 directory before writing opts.py there in case we're building out-of-tree, in which case the directory won't already exist. ($srcdir/lib/mkos8 does exist.) check-in: 40b486cd05 user: tangent tags: mkos8-option-dry-fix | |
| 09:16 | Rather than duplicate all of the option definitions and help texts between auto.def and lib/mkos8/argparser.py, we now generate lib/mkos8/opts.py from auto.def based on the options() values at the top of auto.def which mkos8's argument parser reads and uses to define most of its command line options, making a near-parallel of most of the configure script's --*-os8-*. This is on a branch because there are quite a few subtleties in all of this which means this feature needs more testing to be sure it is complete and doesn't break anything. So far, this change is a delta loss of 132 lines, a good sign that it's worth the complexity of doing things this way. Provisionally closes [f5d5cf50c4] and [68dae7cc88]. check-in: 9dcaed3c64 user: tangent tags: mkos8-option-dry-fix | |
| 07:21 | "make clean" no longer removes Makefiles generated from Makefile.ins. You now have to say "make distclean" to nuke those, along with all the other files that bring us back closer to a "fossil clean" state. check-in: 70dcfbc33d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:12 | Replaced hard-coded -DHAVE_DLOPEN=so CFLAGS option with one based on SH_SOEXT variable exported by autosetup, which allows SIMH to dynamically link to optional libraries such as libreadline on platforms that use a different dlopen(2) file name extension. Tested as not changing anything on Raspbian and as allowing command completion in SCP on macOS. Theoretically, it should allow use of DLLs on Windows, but this has not been tested; it probably only does so under Cygwin. check-in: 161b1c1b6b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:43 | Minor corrections of typos and formatting problems to docs amended in previous update. check-in: bc636c64e7 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 05:18 | After much testing I provide this new integration of MACREL: v2. Additionally I have updated os-patching.md to reflect current reality, and spun two sections from that doc into their own docs that cover macrel and the OS/8 V3D Device Extensions kit. MACREL v2 contains an update version of FUTIL that matches MACREL. That drove hand-integration of FUTIL patch 32.13.1M to get it working again under batch. The test program, RESORC, from the OS/8 V3D Device Extensions kit runs just fine when installed on SYS: but not anywhere else. I wailed on this problem for a while but could not find root cause. That version if RESORC is NOT installed. I'm just trying to understand what it is about that epoch of building that behaves in that unexpected way. check-in: c0e2d1ce56 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 04:46 | Regularized os8-* option help texts in auto.def and fixed tenses in verbs so they match the sense of the option's *inverse*, since that is how the help text is used in ./configure --help output. check-in: 09f9503302 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 20:20 | FUTIL V8A hangs under batch, and so it breaks our auto-build process as soon as we copy it in. I have hand-applied patch 35.13.1M which fixes the problem and upgrades FUTIL to v8B. I have documented work in README.TX, and I'm going to rename this image al-5642c-ba, a version never shipped, but embodying a critical fix. check-in: 86934ed2b1 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 17:20 | Adding a hand-tooled MACREL v2 DECtape image. Contains FUTIL.SV version 8a that should replace v7D to match new Core Control Block format used by the new MACREL. When FUTIL is replaced, we need to re-test and probably disable patch FUTIL-31.21.2M. check-in: 1d6f691bbc user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 20:01 | Removed the test for lowercase 'y' in the reworked CC8 example calc.c: CC8 doesn't yet understand the C || operator. None of my other attempts to work around this work, either. (cupper, restructuring as nested if/elseif/else tests, etc.) check-in: 156b2b69e9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 19:06 | Merged in trunk fix for SAVE SYS BUILD check-in: e29f5b239d user: tangent tags: cc8-fixes | |
| 17:38 | The "SAVE SYS BUILD" did the wrong thing. It carefully saved the updated setup on SYS which had been changed to the RK05, and then, moments later, overwrote it with the original from the DECTAPE. So we do "SAVE DTA0 BUILD" to put our revised setup where it will then be copied along with everything else to the RK05 SYS. check-in: 40a3f17c58 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 07:59 | First attempt at pep001.c. It builds and runs correctly under Clang, but it fails under CC8. check-in: 176f2cabcd user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:32 | Merged trunk improvements in check-in: 663aa632ee user: tangent tags: cc8-fixes | |
| 07:31 | Reordered the commands in cc8-tu56-update to collect all of the "send file" calls together. There is some kind of timing sensitivity in all of this which caused the previous method to truncate some of the files or even leave them empty. check-in: 308b654b57 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:42 | All of the users of class simh which were using "expect" regexes like '\.' to wait for an OS/8 prompt had to be changed to '\\.' because the string is double-interpreted, first by Python in a string formatting construct (printf(), kinda) and then again in a regex construct, so that without the doubled backslash it was just looking for ., meaning any character in RE-speak. Did the same for '\*' because that was reducing to *, meaning "zero or more of the previous", and without a "previous", it matched anything. This doesn't seem to fix anything; I found it trying to fix something else, which I hope to check in soon. check-in: f8d7dc89bf user: tangent tags: trunk | |

Just going with the one that builds without warnings on the supported version of Raspbian, then turning off the warning so it doesn't appear on platforms that really want the other form.

| 09:12 | "mkos8 patch" no longer tries to apply patches to FORTRAN II and FORTRAN IV files if the corresponding --disable-os8-fortran-* options were given to the configure script. check-in: f4d3cf118a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:54 | Reworked the CC[0-2].SV copy command in cc8-tu56-update so that it skips CCL.SV, thus avoiding the hole in the resulting DECtape image. check-in: d2f66e76b9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:36 | Rewrote the code in mkos8 emitting DEL foo.SV commands as part of --disable-fortran-ii processing so that only one command goes to the simulator, which runs faster and logs nicer. check-in: ff1e1c0545 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:27 | Small Python style tweak check-in: 0db3c5fc38 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:13 | Giving --disable-os8-fortran-ii now leaves out LOADER, LIBSET, and SABR. Because the OS/8 version of CC8 depends on LOADER and SABR, it also implicitly sets --disable-os8-cc8. check-in: 648ea9921c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:11 | Running cc8-tu56-update on a Pi 3 gives a different result than running it on a macOS box using the *.s files produced on the Pi 3. Not sure why, but of the two, the result on the Pi 3 is more trustworthy, so using that one. check-in: 7d73c6e8e5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:54 | Removed the getchar() call near the end of main() in the cc8 cross-compiler. It blocks cc8-tu56-update, and we don't want to add a "send CR" bit to the script just to placate it. check-in: 96b6cef0c3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:50 | Fixed COPY commands near the end of cc8-tu56-update: they weren't grabbing everything we thought they should. Also removed CCL.SV, inadvertently copied to the tape by the CC?.SV pattern. check-in: 0eaba4e478 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:33 | Initial version of tools/cc8-tu56-update complete, which updates media/os8/subsys/cc8.tu56 from the contents of src/cc8. The latter is now much smaller than before, since we no longer include the intermediate files: all *.SB and most *.RL. The only exception is LIBC.RL, which the linking step needs when building end-user programs. check-in: 4e67bbdfaf user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:30 | Rewrote src/cc8/examples/calc.c for clarity. It could be better, but it doesn't build and run properly as-is, so I've stopped here, waiting for improvements to the C compiler. check-in: 832db28e22 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:25 | Many improvements to the new src/cc8/examples/README.md file. check-in: d454056d80 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:24 | Reverted the LF -> CRLF change in media/os8/init.tx.in, since autosetup just reverts it when creating init.tx. Instead, modified txt2ptp to turn LF input into CRLF output. I chose this instead of running a "dos2unix" type program on the files from simh.os8_send_file() because there is no standard for the name of such a program. Since our txt2ptp filter has to be involved anyway, we might as well give it the job. check-in: 6653eac20e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:06 | Reworked the stock init.tx.in file to use lowercase, now that it's allowed, and to have DOS line endings now that it's being copied in as-is, rather than filtered through mkos8, which implicitly converts the line ending style. check-in: 93f3beed61 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:01 | Rewrote simh.os8_send_file in terms of txt2ptp and SIMH paper tape attachment and read-in. It's faster, it works with much larger files, and it doesn't fold lowercase input. check-in: 69766295e7 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:35 | The top-level "run" target no longer depends on the build RK05 media because we need to be able to use it to run whatever's built, even if it's technically out of date. The thing we're working on now modifies the RK05 disk images, and we need to then be able to say "make run" to examine what it did without having the work overwritten. check-in: b4e684c40a user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 23:28 | Fixed some code in the #include handling of CC8 which relied on undefined behavior.

| 04:43 | The method we were using for comparing lz4-compressed RK05 disk images in test-mkos8 only works if lz4 on the generating system and the test system give the same output for the same input, but this appears not to be the case between macOS 10.12 and Raspbian Stretch, likely due to improvements in the compression algorithm or compression defaults between the two versions in use. Therefore, instead of doing a binary comparison of the rklz files, we now decompress the rklz files and compare those outputs using a new tools/cmplz script which test-mkos8 calls. check-in: 8d51be13c7 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 23:59 | test-mkos8 now overwrites init.tx with a neutral replacement so that tests made on one machine can be compared to those performed on another. check-in: 68de63f2c8 user: tangent tags: test-mkos8-pinned | |
| 06:21 | Merged in trunk changes. The original reason for this branch just disappeared, to be replaced by a new one: the test results can only be compared between two identical checkins because of the INIT.TX file, but that just means we now need to use this branch to pin a particular version in place. Thus, we might as well bring the recent trunk changes in and start again. With test-mkos8 -es, we don't need to regenerate the entire test corpus to learn useful things. check-in: 111c244601 user: tangent tags: test-mkos8-pinned | |
| 05:55 | test-mkos8 saves the mismatched rklz file if the test doesn't pass check-in: 2147ab88c0 user: tangent tags: test-mkos8-pinned | |
| 05:07 | Renamed test-mkos8 -s option to -1 and implemented -e and -s, which together allow Monte Carlo testing on a subset of the test corpus. This is on a branch because the current test corpus was generated before the change to 3-column DIRECT output in generated OS/8 disk images, which changes the disk contents and log contents. Thus, we need to do this development on a branch stemming from the last checkin before that change and any possible later ones, until we're ready to regenerate the test corpus. check-in: 47217f7552 user: tangent tags: test-mkos8-pinned | |
| 04:20 | Fixed a bug in the way teco-pi-demo was starting the simulator introduced along with the recent "ignore GPIO lock failure" stuff for mkos8. check-in: c0788fcd5c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:05 | Made second parameter to class simh's ctor optional, as the comments claim, so that teco-pi-demo will run again. check-in: 846340d3d1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:30 | The new "throw exception on GPIO failure" feature added to prevent teco-pi-demo from colliding with other simulator users broke mkos8 under the collision case. (Not otherwise.) It is now possible to tell class simh whether this condition is considered fatal or not. check-in: 7e16fe3b23 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:17 | Added a #include to src/d8tape/d8tape.h to placate the GCC on Raspbian Stretch. check-in: 17be5b5dd8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:16 | Integrated Robert Krten's d8tape host-side disassembler. It is the version distributed [here][1] with the following changes: 1. A trivial warning-squishing change 2. Using our own build system instead of the given `Makefile`. This also means no automatic version number bumping. 3. The `LICENSE` file is replaced with `src/d8tape/LICENSE.md`, containing the salient content of a private email message from Robert Krten granting more liberal use of the program than in the original license. [1]: http://dustyoldcomputers.com/pdp-common/reference/host/ check-in: 24d387ee4e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:25 | Added "SET TTY COL 3" to mkos8 to give 3-column DIRECT listings, like the old os8.rk05 did. This checkin will cause a binary change to all RK05 bin disks created by mkos8; thus the new tag on checkin [fe441b85b]. check-in: 676330e2d9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:58 | The icky "sleep" call in teco-pi-demo wasn't long enough to always fix the SIMH "cont" problem. Doubled it; we'll see if that fixes it in all cases. check-in: 95df7e245b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:44 | Class simh now throws an exception when the GPIO is locked at simulator start time. If this happens, teco-pi-demo exits with an error and mkos8 just grouses a bit; the difference being, teco-pi-demo really needs the display and mkos8 really doesn't. Applying tag "test-mkos8-mark" to this release because a change a bit down the timeline breaks all of the test-mkos8 outputs so far, so we need to be able to return to this checkin symbolically until we're done using that test corpus. check-in: fe441b85b4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:46 | Including a comparison to our guess at the average IPS rate for a PDP-8/I in the teco-pi-demo -b output. check-in: 4c68402d93 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:58 | Updated hardcoded RPi B+ constant in the pidp8i.ips module based on actual test results. check-in: ab68fa4e64 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:04 | ChangeLog updates check-in: 9ec0b6f43f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:53 | Replaced the broken calculation for simh._kbd_delay with a new one based on the new pidp8i.ips module, potentially modified by teco-pi-demo -b. The previous version had a Python bug in it that caused no delay at all to be applied between OS/8 keystrokes, which probably means it would only work reliably on sufficiently fast host machines. This one doesn't change the per-test build time all that much, but it will add increasing amounts of keyboard delays on slow hosts, as is appropriate. check-in: 2211503b72 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:51 | More refinement to the INFILES and OUTFILES stuff in Makefile.in check-in: fe265b4e07 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 02:26 | Added teco-pi-demo -b mode, which runs the demo for 10 seconds, then gets the IPS value from SIMH and appends it to a new Python module — pidp8i.ips — which initally gives a hardcoded value for a Pi 1, with the update giving the speed of the current hardware. check-in: 7a35b0cb16 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:14 | A short document providing help with our FORTRAN IV stuff. check-in: a4a06ba896 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 02:00 | Subsetted the INFILES list in Makefile.in to segregate the set that requires a mkos8 re-call from those that merely cause a reconfigure and build. As the INFILES list grew, more and more files irrelevant to mkos8 were included, increasing the chances of a pointless mkos8 build. check-in: c0987c9ee3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 04:22 | mkos8 contains in-line code to replace FORLIB.RL with the patched one on local.tu56. os8-patching.md documents this new state of affairs. check-in: 1fbbf7a508 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 03:19 | Added the 3 FORTRAN IV Source DECtapes. They came from Dave Gesswein's Archive, pdp8.net under misc_dectapes. The sources I've built seem reasonable. The DECtape part numbers match those for OS/8 V3D FORTRAN IV from the DEC Software Catalog. TODO: Write up what we have for FORTRAN IV in a doc file. check-in: a8ba68ef88 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 03:14 | Updated Fortran IV install: Move the tapes to the subsys directory. Tape #2 is not needed. It contains the source files for the FORLIB.RL run time library. TODO: Add in the source DECtape images to the repository. check-in: 16d14955b5 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 03:12 | Added files necessary for mkos8 to integrate patch FORLIB-51.10.1M.patch8. As per instructions in that patch, a new DLOG.RA has been made with one source line change. DLOG.RA was assembled with RALF into DLOG.RL. LIBRA was used to make an updated FORLIB.RL DLOG.RA and FORLIB.RL are on local.tu56. DLOG.RA in the patch directory is a redundant copy of that file. TODO: Add logic in mkos8 under patches to replace FORLIB.RL with the updated one if BOTH with-os8-fortran-iv AND with-os8-patches are set. check-in: 87aa1be986 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 09:16 | Fixed a path bug that caused test-mkos8 to write finished test results to the wrong directory. That in turn caused subsequent runs to re-do tests already completed because the results weren't where it expected to find them. Closed-Leaf check-in: b513069b4c user: tangent tags: parallel-test-mkos8 | |

| 08:47 | Though we hacked tools/version to make it print a dummy version string when running under tools/test-mkos8, it didn't exit afterward, so it continued to run the code that was causing the problem we added the workaround to avoid! check-in: 3213505810 user: tangent tags: parallel-test-mkos8 | |
| 08:41 | The bootable-*.tu56 copy of the OS/8 boot tape created by mkos8 to avoid modifying input media is now being created in dirs.os8mo instead of os8mi, since the latter is shared among the children of test-mkos8, which means that when one of them deletes their temporary copy of this file, the copy used by all of them gets deleted. The file, being volatile, must go into each child's build directory. check-in: 0e8e159cf5 user: tangent tags: parallel-test-mkos8 | |

It doesn't show stats for files that don't exist on the release branch, only for files in common between the two, due to the limitations of the diff format. check-in: f4025603f4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 05:16 | Extended module search path for teco-pi-demo the same way we did some time back for mkos8 so that when building out-of-tree, it doesn't go looking for autosetup-written files like lib/pipd8i/dirs.py under @srcdir@. check-in: fdc0fa387c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:14 | Reworked the dirs.py module so that dirs.media now points to the "media" directory only, not to "media/os8". Then added dirs.os8mi and dirs.os8mo for the mkos8 input and output directories, respectively, and adjusted mkos8 and teco-pi-demo accordingly. check-in: 6e102afa3a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:54 | Using dirs.os8 instead of dirs.media in teco-pi-demo, and fixed the "make install" step that adjusts libs/pidp8i/dirs.py in the installation tree to allow this to work. check-in: aa66ed7ae9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:41 | teco-pi-demo now seeks out the os8v3d-bin.rk05 disk intelligently, using the one in bin when run from a development tree, else using the one in dirs.media if run from the install tree. check-in: 2f68149c21 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 03:15 | One of the changes in [2d6184c3c9] moves "src" to the end of the directories processed by mkadrules at configure time, but mkadrules itself was writing another version of the "src" rule set to the beginning of adrules.mk for the out-of-tree case, which also needs to move to the end of the file for the same reason. check-in: a658bdb074 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:06 | Removed -w flag for src/PDP8/*.c: turns out to be unnecessary on Clang 9.0.0 (macOS 10.12) and GCC 6.3.0 (Raspbian Stretch). If later testing shows a need for something like this, we should probably put back -Wno-foo flags instead on a case-by-case basis. Turning off all warnings was an overreach. check-in: b54c70e41b user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 13:55 | Still more README.md tweaks check-in: 720dd754b7 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:50 | More README.md clarifications. check-in: c74aab947b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:46 | Clarity tweak to previous check-in: e8544cca8f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:43 | More work to the Prerequisites check-in: b81857e17a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:40 | Assorted improvements to the Prerequisites section of the top-level README.md file. check-in: aeab136fea user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:09 | Added .agignore (for ag v1) and symlinks to .ignore (for ag v2) to make ag skip large binary files that cannot possibly contain greppable information. check-in: 18a9cc5a8b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:30 | Fixed "Squeeze" -> "Stretch". Debian Squeeze was 6.0, from 2011. :) check-in: 5dadc45e3a user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 15:46 | Reworked the --enable-os8-vtedit description in the top-level README.md file. check-in: b0a6241a36 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:20 | A bit more detail in the new "Unpacking" section of README.md. check-in: a14b453c03 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:16 | Fixed an ambiguous Markdown named link in README.md. check-in: 1dddd5a673 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:15 | Added two more options to the new "Transferring" section of README.md. check-in: a3d60d598e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:10 | Added "Getting the Software onto Your Pi" and "If You Need More Help" sections to the top of the top-level README.md file. check-in: 79f7b127a9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:35 | Recharacterized the "upstream release" as the "old stable distribution" in the top-level README file. check-in: de86c711db user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:37 | I thought I checked these changes in already. Sigh. This puts all the patches, even the ones not to apply in the list with appropriate summary annotations. check-in: 8d5c4ee2e2 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 03:52 | Added a commented-out "set remote telnet=3141" SIMH command to teco-pi-demo so that those wanting to fiddle with the simulator while the demo runs can do so without reading the SIMH manual. Whether they'll read the code and avoid bugging me about it is an open question. check-in: 86214e8626 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:50 | Increased the number of digits to calculate in teco-pi-demo to the maximum value that doesn't crash TECO8, determined by experiment. This ensures that the demo runs as long as possible, so users don't have to keep restarting it. With the prior value, that would have happened after about 2-3/4 years, not unreasonable for a PiDP-8/I running purely as an objet d'art. check-in: 2d4085c0b4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:05 | Put args.debug stuff back into mkos8, reverting part of [9663cf4b750]. Not sure why it was failing on Bill's machine, but it works here. check-in: 81f6f42e86 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:51 | Checkin [96fb10bbd3] was supposed to fix an accidental lowercasing... which actually happened in that checkin! Apparently it happened during the editing session, since the checkin did not completely revert the problem. check-in: b5ab11471d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
|
2017-10-22
| ||
| 23:08 | Adding OVDRV patch for completeness. Updating patching.md with a few tweaks. mkos8: Make OS/8 command parse error a fatal error. Temporary change: The args.debug stuff didn't work for me. Kluding it out. check-in: 9663cf4b75 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 20:49 | Discovered that PAL8-21.22.4M analogously to ABSLDR-21.29.1M, is actually against the OS/8 V3D Extensions version, and BREAKS PAL8's ability to generate listing output. That problem is now documented and the patch is disabled. check-in: 3e3e10993f user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 14:31 | Niggly typos and cleanups. check-in: 7a86dc37fb user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 04:35 | Complete first draft with formatting. check-in: a6abb8204e user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 03:22 | Snapshot. More formatting improvements. (Halfway done, I think.) check-in: 8e7cc0f0ab user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 03:02 | Added the new pidp8i-test keyboard controls to doc/pidp8i-test.md. check-in: 44794b7b5f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:00 | The code in pidp8i-test which was supposed to allow for uppercase R or X keystrokes to behave the same as r or x didn't work. Apparently this section of code got lowercased somehow. check-in: 96fb10bbd3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
|
2017-10-21

| 23:20 | improved formatting. check-in: 042195c724 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 22:42 | First draft of documentation on OS/8 Patching. check-in: ac1f73e6cc user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
|
2017-10-20
| ||
| 18:53 | There was a typo: ".GET SYS TECO" was ". GET SYS TECO" The patch failed to load TECO into core, but happend to have TECO in core from the previous patch run. I guess I should make "failed OS/8 command parse" a fatal error. check-in: f410b7a38a user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 16:54 | Added "patches" item to the ChangeLog. check-in: d26180a507 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:51 | Documented --disable-os8-patches. check-in: b3af2847e7 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:23 | Removed an unused function from mkos8, and did some whitespace and comment tweaks. check-in: 4a64ffe7ce user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:01 | Suppressed most of the ODT/FUTIL patch application debugging messages in mkos8 by default. Added a --debug flag to re-enable them. This is distinct from --verbose in that the latter swaps the SIMH logging from sending to a log file to sending to stdout, which in turn suppresses most other output from mkos8. We might want to rethink these two options, combining them somehow to avoid the new confusion. check-in: 66b56643e4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:36 | Added configure --os8-patches flag, default on. When set, calls "mkos8 bin patch" instead of just "bin". check-in: adaef3c96e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:06 | Merged mkadrules branch into trunk: all the .c.o and .c.d rules are generated at configure time instead of being hand-maintained in Makefile.in. This also moves the CC8 *.[od] files to obj/cc8/cross, mirroring the source tree structure. This simply removes an idiosyncratic difference between the previously hand-maintiained rule sets, a natural outcome of generating them from a single template rule set. check-in: cdd09a6093 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:57 | Reverted delegation of creation of the obj subtree dirs to mkadrules: better done by extending BUILDDIRS in Makefile.in. Closed-Leaf check-in: c2bc715e2c user: tangent tags: mkadrules | |
| 14:40 | Deferred relacement of "SRCDIR" in mkadrules until the last moment in case we're building out-of-tree and $srcdir contains "src/" to avoid unintended string replacements. check-in: d74f2616c5 user: tangent tags: mkadrules | |
| 14:26 | Fixed a command line sanity check in mkadrules for the out-of-tree build case. check-in: 72986ccf05 user: tangent tags: mkadrules | |
| 14:21 | Minor improvements to the .o and .d generation and cleanup bits in Makefile.in. Not really related to the mkadrules mechanism, but I noticed the weaknesses while working with it. check-in: 4768cc8794 user: tangent tags: mkadrules | |
| 14:10 | Reworked CC8_OBJS to work with new mkadrules obj subdirectory scheme. check-in: 1ba04c2424 user: tangent tags: mkadrules | |
| 14:08 | Switched from mkdir() to make_path() in previous to allow obj/cc8/cross to be created. Like mkdir(1), Perl's mkdir() won't recurse. check-in: 18d508e685 user: tangent tags: mkadrules | |
| 13:57 | Moved generation of obj/* subdirs to mkadrules from auto.def. check-in: 5325bc575b user: tangent tags: mkadrules | |
| 13:49 | The repeated autodependency .c.o and .c.d Makefile rule sets are now generated as adrules.mk by tools/mkadrules, which will avoid the sort of regression fixed in [83b73930ec]. check-in: a818a27648 user: tangent tags: mkadrules | |
| 12:11 | The changes in [a6c3123bff] to the obj/PDP8/*.o Makefile rules to allow out-of-tree builds caused dependency ordering problems on the Pi, though not on macOS for some reason. The prior fix did not change all obj/*.d type paths to obj/PDP8/*.d, which confused the autodep mechanism. Problem noticed by Phillip Porch on the mailing list, with a provisional patch, extended by me. check-in: 83b73930ec user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:58 | mkos8: Close patch files when done with them. (minor housekeeping oops) Rudimentary FUTIL support now supports the 4th PAL8 patch. Discovered the ABSLDR patch supplied is just wrong. It's for a version of ABSLDR we don't have and which exists on the OS/8 V3D Device Extensions kit, which is rare, and not yet visible in the archives I've scoured. TODO: 1. MACREL and LINK patches. 2. Decice what to do about the patches that require very different application: FORLIB 51-1-01M is a source patch that would require a batch script. Same with OVDRV 40.6.1M. LQP 21.49.1 runs BUILD in a batch script which is actually not possible unless you have the version of BUILD unique to the OS/8 V3D Device Extensions kit. check-in: 241d6b4a25 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 00:09 | Clarified example commentary in the U/W FOCAL supplement check-in: 066aaa6b7c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
|
2017-10-19
| ||
| 21:25 | 44 Patches, all but one verified against source. The one un-verified one is for FRTS.SV, which is recommended. I just cant figure out how to build FRTS from source to verify it. mkos8 successfully applies them all. patch_list.txt names all patches, comments out non-recommended ones and says why. check-in: 1bec0d528f user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
|
2017-10-18
| ||
| 20:41 | Reverted Unix -> DOS line ending change for src/*.in: autosetup blindly assumes Unix line endings and emits mixed line endings when *.in has DOS line endings as it passes input CRs through on lines it doesn't touch and fails to include a CR on the lines it rewrites. The symptom is that you get a confusing compiler error in gpio-common.c. check-in: 860fd189d5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 23:46 | Refined patcher. Successfully applies about 40 of the 56 patches. TODO: Verify the successful patches at source code level. Get the rest of the patches to apply. check-in: 7278e6aceb user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 22:30 | Backed out [1e62781bcd0]: it added a guard for a condition that apparently cannot fail, so it's useless at best and may be masking the real problem now at worst. check-in: f396fbb736 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 22:18 | Whitespace tweaks in Makefile.in check-in: 26f03607d2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 22:11 | The dependency of bin/*-focal.pt on txt2ptp wasn't expressed clearly enough, so whether they got built or not depended purely on whether make(1) decided to build ptp2txt and hard link it to txt2ptp before attempting it. check-in: 7f25f66583 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 22:06 | Suppressed the harmless warning about missing setcap on non-Linux hosts during "make install". check-in: b0790a69cb user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 17:22 | ODT Patches now check old value and abort the patch if the actual contents do not match the expected contents. There is detection of "dont care" old contents as well. Added ability to comment out lines in patch_list.txt manifest file. TODO: 1. Add in a bunch of patches and try them out. 2. Add in support for other patches than ODT. 3. Make patching conditional in auto.defs. check-in: a5d1d41858 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 16:53 | Assorted fixes to parallel test-mkos8 check-in: 5797acc1f3 user: tangent tags: parallel-test-mkos8 | |
| 16:32 | Made the "get version string" mechanisms more durable in the face of multiple parallel instances, as now happens with parallel test-mkos8. check-in: c34a426eed user: tangent tags: parallel-test-mkos8 | |
| 15:49 | First pass at reworking mkos8-test to run $cores tests in parallel unless -s is given. Each test is built out-of-tree in test/tmp/$PID, so they don't interfere with each other. check-in: f5cad8d9f6 user: tangent tags: parallel-test-mkos8 | |
| 15:24 | Switched compression in test-mkos8 from lzma to lz4. check-in: 6addfa56e1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:02 | Got out-of-tree building again with mkos8. check-in: a6c3123bff user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:49 | Reworked the *.c -> *.obj Makefile rules a bit check-in: c7b2eced8d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:56 | Variable name tweaks in tools/test-mkos8 check-in: 3d31039cbd user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 11:18 | Squished perlcritic --harsh complaints check-in: 6d893bfd57 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 10:29 | First version of the combinatoric tester. Implements [87abba4c08]. check-in: def9c30e0f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:57 | Applied the reverse fix to the previous checkin: when built for ILS and previously running with ILS suppressed, then switching from "ratio" throttle mode to an "IPS" throttle mode, re-enabling ILS. check-in: 141f201e85 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:48 | Merged NLS forcing in SET THROTTLE M/N mode (ratio mode). Closes [7d7eadd391] check-in: 3f1588e495 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:47 | The mechanism we were reusing to revert to NLS mode while built for ILS wasn't doing full-rate display updates. It didn't need to before because it was only used for STOP and single step/instruction mode. Now that we're also using it for SET THROTTLE=M/N (ratio mode) it differed substantially from "real" NLS mode prior to this fix. Closed-Leaf check-in: 1d600ecbe7 user: tangent tags: ratio-throttle-ils-disable | |
| 06:51 | Accidentally made a fix in the *.in output file, checking in the buggy version. check-in: f219177758 user: tangent tags: ratio-throttle-ils-disable | |
| 06:48 | First step toward disabling ILS when SET THROTTLE M/N is set. check-in: 70f50d2061 user: tangent tags: ratio-throttle-ils-disable | |
| 06:38 | The line to remove a prior sullied bootable OS/8 TU56 tape image in make_bin() within mkos8 wasn't checking whether it exists first. Calling os.remove() on a file that doesn't exist throws an exception, killing the program. (Clearly we two haven't been running without this file always existing from a prior run for quite some time, or have been missing this failure!) check-in: 1e62781bcd user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:47 | Finished pass through UWFD. The supplement is therefore "done" for now. check-in: fcbd2f669a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:44 | Added "FOCAL Statement Functions" section to the supplement. check-in: 2348b30f17 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:14 | Basic patching with ODT works. First two Patches to EDIT.SV as requested in patches/patch_list.txt are applied correctly. TODO: Try more ODT patches. Implement support for "R EPIC" and "R FUTIL" check-in: f382a12204 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 02:39 | The bin/*.pt generation build rule added for examples/*.fc conflicted with the preexisting ones for asm/*.pal and examples/*.pal, which also produce bin/*.pt. (Conflicted twice in fact: once at the make(1) level and again in the output when the basename is the same. Consider examples/pep001.{fc,pal}.) Addded -focal and -pal tags to the output *.pt file names to break the conflict. check-in: e9954d80c5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 19:51 | More ChangeLog entry reorganization so it flows from point to point better. check-in: 6f501ff071 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:49 | Moved the teco-pi-demo item down within the ChangeLog to be after the items describing the new OS/8 disk images. check-in: e2c09099b3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 19:44 | Updated ChangeLog.md again check-in: f017f24272 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 02:58 | Fix bug in handling of "all": The "all" action should not be one of the things acted upon. Now we have "allowed acts" and "do_all_acts" that just has src and bin. Begin work on the patch maker: A manifest file will list the patch files. For each patch file, parse it and act on it. Parsing the patch file is fun! Create a degenerate state machine to control what we do when we're in a command. ODT is currently parsed.

| 13:45 | Discovered a new Autosetup feature, write-if-changed. Rewrote the mkos8.opts mechanism for suppressing RK05 rebuild if the mkos8 options haven't changed in terms of it. Much shorter and clearer now. check-in: 26e5f1c5ee user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 11:33 | Raised new simh class to a single-module library as well. check-in: 6837a49441 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:26 | Moved lib/mkos8/argparser/__init__.py to lib/mkos8/argparser.py. We don't need the extra directory layer: argparser isn't going to turn into a multi-module sub-library. check-in: 58babeb8b1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:22 | Moved the dirs.py module out of lib/mkos8 into a new lib/pidp8i directory, since it really isn't mkos8 specific. (A later checkin will include another program that also uses it.) check-in: d66f92ce95 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:09 | Extracted class "simh" from mkos8 to collect all of the functions that call pexpect either to command SIMH or OS/8 *via* SIMH. Also threads that object instance through the mkos8 call chain instead of having everyone refer to a global, and cleans up the function naming to be a bit more self-consistent. check-in: 2af351187f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:06 | Found documentation for FRA() check-in: ffeac8fad3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:45 | Added the "Command Overloading" section to the U/W FOCAL supplement. Added a top-level LIBRARY command section, as well as LIST and LOGICAL sections. Also moved the ZVR and FRA sections up to be just after these, as the group amounts to documentation of commands and functions not covered in The Manual. check-in: ad0e316bcd user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 23:36 | Small tweaks to previous check-in: 0ed7d97637 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 23:28 | Added a new section to the supplement, "The Paper Tape Reader", showing how to pull FOCAL programs in from simulated paper tape. Also created a mechanism similar to the examples/*.pal -> bin/*.pt, only for examples/*.fc by way of Bill's txt2ptp program. The new supplement section is written in terms of this mechanism, using a new example program, tratbl.fc. check-in: 964c647879 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 13:15 | Factored "instdirs" target out of "install" so mediainstall can depend on it. Without this, you could type "make mediainstall install" and it would fail because the instdirs hadn't been built yet. This removes the need to care about the order of targets given. check-in: a631363b48 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 03:34 | Tiny nomenclature change: "DEC source tapes" would imply building from source. So the binary RK05 image was, in meticulous nomenclature built from, "DEC binary distribution DECtapes." Similarly "distribution DECtape(s)" was added further down the doc as appropriate. check-in: b2707f406f user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |

| 01:13 | Reworked "make run" so that it runs OS/8 from bin, not the installation directory, so you don't have to "make install mediainstall run". check-in: 6d1cdc8426 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:03 | Added --disable-os8-src configure script option. check-in: 94b7dcf49e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:36 | Applied patch to autosetup from upstream issue #30 to prevent overwriting *.in outputs when the result wouldn't be different, thus forcing unnecessary rebuilds of the dependencies. Closes [9d55730778]. check-in: b218efa8cc user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 22:49 | Forgot to install the adventure setup file, ADVENT.IN on advent.tu56. So it kept thinking it was uninitialized. With that file in place, the code to run the dialog is no longer needed. I commented it out of mkos8. TODO: Delete the dialog code. check-in: cb498b03ba user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 22:34 | Fixed teeny bug in cc8 cross compile install: Needed to add share/include to INSTDIRS in Makefile.in check-in: ac7cc70d71 user: poetnerd tags: trunk | |
| 18:40 | Added --os8-minimal configure option check-in: 839aa48f08 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 17:47 | Added --disable-cc8-cross configure option check-in: c33d5ece27 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 17:35 | Merged cc8-merge branch into trunk. This is happening after the merge of clean-os8-packs since the latter resolves the question of how we're going to merge Ian Schofield's nice and clean OS/8 installation + C with our previous os8.rk05. This merge therefore just gets us an alternate OS/8 bootscript and disk image plus the host-side compiler. check-in: 4fa2e4fdc0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 17:24 | Fixed violations of the "DOS line endings" rule in src/*.in check-in: 20a02472af user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 17:14 | Documented --disable-os8-init and editing init.tx.in. check-in: ceb4d912a2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:55 | The two "Pasting Text in from a Terminal Emulator" sections of the supplement are now sub-sections of a single level 3 section. check-in: e3e1f90bfe user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:48 | Added fourth reason we need the U/W FOCAL Manual supplement: the version we ship isn't identical to the version described in *any* of the primary source documents! check-in: 186f1c5d44 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:39 | Titled the upcoming release check-in: 39e66a40d7 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:36 | Another ChangeLog tweak check-in: 74537be12b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:30 | Minor tweaks to new v2017.10.xx ChangeLog check-in: 1530f3760f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:18 | Updated some doc URLs to point to the trunk branch now that clean-os8-packs has been merged in. check-in: 01dff30411 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:17 | Updated the ChangeLog to distill what's happened since v2017.04.04. We're not all that near a release point, but with the merging of clean-os8-packs into the trunk, it felt like a good time to summarize what's been happening these past few months. check-in: 854f35ecb6 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:19 | mkos8 now runs Adventure after installing it to answer the configuration questions it asks on first run, since we know the answers and the user is more likely to be fine with our answers than they are able to answer differently *and* correctly on their own. check-in: 880632ab80 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:33 | Improved the comment on the "SET SYS NO INIT" command sent during OS/8 BUILD in mkos8. check-in: d2c10add20 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 19:00 | Small tweaks to the new INIT.TX mechanism check-in: 0a2ab49554 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 18:53 | Worked around a Jim Tcl limitation in init.tx build. check-in: 86710df348 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 18:46 | Merged clean-os8-packs into trunk. check-in: faee651fc4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 18:44 | Replaced the "Hello, world!" init message with one based loosely on the "FIELD SERVICE PDP-8 DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM" message, but showing information more likely to be useful to our end users. Closed-Leaf check-in: e95de3f1a6 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:16 | Sketched in the initial implementation of the --enable-os8-init feature, which creates INIT.TX and INIT.CM on the OS/8 bin disk just before finishing up. If the option is set, it calls SET SYS INIT to make it run on boot, but it always does get created, so the user can turn it on later without rebuilding their bin disk. This version just says "HELLO, WORLD!" We'll be doing something more substantial next. check-in: 3f8551641f user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 17:52 | Added mkos8 to the set of files ctags -R looks at, since it won't normally find it, lacking known file extension. check-in: e165816404 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 17:34 | Whitespace and comment tweaks check-in: f3dceaeb79 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 16:31 | The creation of obj/mkos8.opts during the configure script run to force a rebuild of the OS/8 media *only* when those options have changed was failing in clean build trees because obj doesn't exist yet. For the most part, $(BUILDDIRS) in the Makefile handles this, but that hasn't run by this point, so we need to do this one early. check-in: 5dfc456436 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 05:30 | The "?01.00" error code in the reformatted refcard is just "?" on the original, so there is not in fact a discrepancy between the two error tables for this one. Fixed the refcard and removed the note about the discrepancy from the supplement. check-in: 3b74ad629d user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 22:01 | Small fix to transcript at the end of "The Hard Way" check-in: 1814197ca3 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 21:40 | Updated the discussion of the missing VIEW command in U/W FOCAL: we *could* support it, but it's apparently missing from the PAL source we built U/W FOCAL from. Feature request filed as [b8f5d84fc]. check-in: 534640eea8 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 21:17 | Added ZVR section to the supplement check-in: 9ec533f16d user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 21:11 | Another *.FD fix to "The Hard Way" check-in: 75048a2bf8 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 21:03 | Added a new "The WRITE Command" method for saving program text out of U/W FOCAL as a plain ASCII text file, and relabeled the old way as "The Hard Way", now used only as a warning. :) check-in: 5e23affd4b user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 20:43 | Assorted tweaks to Loading and Saving in the supplement check-in: a8a72951d0 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 20:29 | Added "Converting Programs from Other Versions of FOCAL" section to the supplement. check-in: 007115ea46 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 20:22 | Small tweaks to previous check-in: 7f60a6cd67 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 20:17 | Added list of advantages of U/W FOCAL over other FOCALs from the DECUS submission document to our supplement, and linked to it from the README.md section explaining why U/W FOCAL is the default version. check-in: 0404a184e8 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 20:10 | Added more info on what hardware support and corresponding software features are missing to the supplement. check-in: 51316b767f user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 19:16 | First complete "comprehension" pass through the U/W FOCAL manual completed, and final problems fixed. (Yeah, right, "final.") check-in: 24da60990b user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:58 | Added CARD?.DA references to the supplement check-in: 0ff6d3cd24 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:48 | Consolidated and expanded the new sections at the end of the supplement about missing hardware into a single section. check-in: 6a9c4be91f user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:39 | Fixed another LOOK/LINK thing in the supplement check-in: 77065b8d02 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:35 | Discovered that PUNCH doesn't exist in our version of U/W FOCAL at all, so rewrote that section of the supplement and the references to it. Also rewrote the sections referencing LOOK and LINK for the same reason. check-in: d99883639e user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:27 | Documented why we're giving *.FD in OPEN INPUT commands. check-in: 96c92dd0b3 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:24 | Changed the *.FC and *.TX extensions in the supplement's newly reorganized "Loading and Saving Programs" section to *.FD. *.FC is a binary FOCAL core image format, not suited for plain text. That's what *.FD is for. *.TX is also fair, but FOCAL defaults to FD, so we might as well go along with it. check-in: ea76f85801 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:18 | Reorganized all the program loading and saving material in the supplement as subsections of a top-level section, ordered them in increasing level of complexity (and probably decreasing usefulness!). Changed all the named anchors to an "ls-*" scheme: ls = loading and saving. check-in: cc21eef7b2 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 17:50 | Header tweaks check-in: ed9694428b user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 17:30 | Added LIBRARY LOAD based method for loading and saving FOCAL to the supplement above the WRITE/EDIT/OPEN version, and made the prior one the "Alternative Method". check-in: 345f76e497 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 17:05 | Added a paragraph to the "Lowercase Input" section of the supplement noting that "o o" and similar commands do not work because U/W FOCAL is not case-insenstive in its command *arguments*. check-in: 0e41940834 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 17:04 | Added the "FRA Built-In Function" section to the supplement. check-in: a4b65e95e6 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 14:09 | The "copyright" paragraph in the refcards doc used to be at the end and thus said "above text", but that was not changed when moving it to the top of the document. Also, USA -> United States; it flows better. check-in: d20062edad user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 11:33 | Merged scanswitch serial mod fix in from trunk check-in: dce9086a45 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 11:26 | Removed a bunch of the init code from scanswitch.c: calling the new gpio-common module init functions instead. If nothing else, this allows scanswitch to work correctly for the serial mod cases for the first time! check-in: c5a2a1eb11 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:25 | Moved more of the gpio-common module's internal init code out as public functions, and hid away some of those now only called from within the module. check-in: fc42d83843 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:01 | Extracted init_pidp8i_gpio() from gpio_thread() startup so we can call it from programs that don't use the GPIO thread. check-in: 2a8b622469 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:41 | A bit of messing with CSS and paragraph breaks in the new uwfocal-refcards.md file to get somewhat reasonable print output. Still not awesome, but better than it was. check-in: e365c158fb user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 09:13 | Moved the CARD[1-4].DA material from uwfocal-manual-supp.md to a new uwfocal-refcards.md file to keep the copyrights clear, and to make printing easier. check-in: ad35229d5c user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 08:30 | Clarified Bill's new "Loading and Saving Programs" WRITE-based ASCII file saving method in the U/W FOCAL supplement. Also moved some paragraphs that were up in this section down in the CARD2.DA section where they clearly belong, and explained the source of these CARD files in the License section. check-in: f315cb560c user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 05:30 | Added in instructions on save/cleanup/restore of ASCII file in FOCAL. check-in: e4ead2df48 user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 20:32 | Added DCP Disassembler to packs. Does this by default. I sort of don't like how you have to touch 3 files in 3 places to add stuff to the packs. check-in: a60baa0fb2 user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 20:05 | Realized that the "&/" variable name U/W FOCAL mangles "foo" into cannot be the secret & variable because that isn't allowed by default. On further investigation, it appears to be some kind of value mangling, so fixed that discussion in the U/W FOCAL supplement. check-in: d2947f1527 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 20:03 | Converted install of Case conversion, chess and vtedit to file-based subset copyin from local.tu56. This structure is what would be used for the DCP16/DCP24 disassembler copyin. check-in: 7d045ed598 user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 19:55 | Explained why U/W FOCAL gives an answer of "0" instead of an error from fsin(pi/2), and explained why this is a sensible answer given the historical context. check-in: a057be2ab4 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 19:31 | Typo fix check-in: 0fc6cbef6e user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 19:17 | Now that we have a fully-functional version of FOCAL, updated several of the commands and outputs in the F??? sections to be actual terminal transcripts. Also added point 7 to the Formatter's Note explaining why this Markdown version of the manual doesn't show the inputs and outputs exactly the same way the original did. check-in: 3bdcd2ac8f user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 19:03 | Added a "Default Output Format" section to the U/W FOCAL manual supplement to explain why some of the examples' outputs in the manual are not particularly nicely formatted. check-in: 00d620ff6c user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:09 | Grammar tweak check-in: 23fdc81ed1 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:08 | Clarified the 3 points at the top of the U/W FOCAL manual supplement justifying its existence. The prior-numbered points 1 and 3 might have been read as the same point repeated, whereas now it's clear that we're making two distinct points. check-in: c823d49f60 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:01 | Using Unicode arrows in the "violating rule 2" transcript to make it clear that we don't expect the user to the type comment text into the terminal. check-in: 059a06d4f5 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 17:59 | Yet another tweak to the U/W FOCAL supplement's discussion of lowercase input. check-in: 20159fe6db user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 17:46 | Small tweak to previous check-in: 165a9dff9d user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 17:46 | Reworked the lowercase input examples in the U/W FOCAL supplement to use the now-working PI constant. check-in: 15af913175 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 17:41 | Added fragment identifiers and named anchors to all of the headers in the U/W FOCAL manual supplement. check-in: a72ceb276a user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 17:37 | Expanded the section on Lowercase Input in the U/W FOCAL manual supplement to cover some surpring new findings. Incidentally, it now serves as a "Hello, world!" tutorial. check-in: d241323118 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 17:01 | Better explanation of what ./configure --enable-os8-focal69 does in README.md. check-in: b72cc917cf user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 16:48 | Reworked the configure script --*focal* options and their corresponding mkos8 options so that FOCAL 69 is disabled by default and U/W FOCAL remains enabled by default. Also added documentation for all of this to the main README.md file. check-in: 942424a30f user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 16:17 | Added "Pasting Text in from a Terminal Emulator" section to the U/W FOCAL manual supplement. I could have put this in the Known Bugs section I just removed, but it belongs above the preexisting "Loading and Saving Programs" section, and it isn't a "bug" per se: the problem comes from the fact that U/W FOCAL is operating within the design limitations imposed by its development environment, which modern environments invalidate. The solution — if we ever do that — is therefore an enhancement to U/W FOCAL, not a bug fix. check-in: 9b0a771d74 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 16:11 | Removed Known Bugs section from the U/W FOCAL manual supplement: checin [d6a7c6fede] fixed the last known one. check-in: 2e8482e9fa user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 16:11 | Added invitation to send patches to the U/W FOCAL manual supplement. This is a sideways way of preserving a named URL that would otherwise be removed in the next checkin. check-in: dd068e0950 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 05:23 | Since I fixed the PI bug, I deleted it from the table of known bugs. check-in: ee437c54a9 user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 05:04 | Fixed FOCAL installs. They were installing way too much and overran the limits of the system directory. Only 1 file is installed for U/W FOCAL: SYS:UWF16K.SV. Only a few files are installed for FOCAL69 all into RKB0: FOCAL.BN,4WORD.BN,4KVT.BN,8KVT.BN,8KNOVT.BN Personally I favor telling people just fetch these from the focal69.tu56 DECtape image. Also tested new UWF16K.SV, and it properly initializes PI. check-in: 6456a6e06d user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 04:47 | Replaced broken UWF16K.SV with one that works better. Root cause: I mis-specified the starting address when I did the SAVE action, and so UWF16K.SV was not properly initializing itself when run. check-in: d6a7c6fede user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 19:06 | The configure script now removes the bin/os8v3d-bin.rk05 file when the set of mkos8 options changes from one run to the next. This completes the evolution started in the prior few checkins, where only substantial changes to input files or build options causes a rebild of the OS/8 media. check-in: 2d871919e4 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 19:03 | Put @ before new comments in Makefile.in to prevent them from echoing during the build. check-in: 7e263bdd1d user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 18:49 | Moved the @abs_top_srcdir@ and @builddir@ stuff out of libexec/mkos8.in into lib/mkos8/dirs.py.in, which exists only to hold those directory definitions. Then reworked the make dependencies so that simply regenerating the lib/mkos8/dirs.py file no longer causes a rebuild of the OS/8 media, since by far the most likely reason for this is that auto.def or some other *.in file changed. Also removed the simulator as a make dependency of the OS/8 RK05 media, since we just need it to *exist*, not to be older than the media. Instead, we check for it before rebuilding the media, and we only do that when one of the input files for building the media change, which explicitly does not include dirs.py. There's one missing step in all of this which can cause us to miss a needed rebuild, but that will be taken care of next. check-in: 9b76afeacb user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 14:20 | Extracted lib/mkos8/argparser.py from main() in mkos8, an ArgumentParser subclass that simplifies its interface for the main script's purposes, primarily by hiding away the process of setting up the parser. EDIT: This step also creates the mechanism for pulling other pieces of mkos8 out as separate modules. I just happened to choose to make this the first such external component. check-in: c14164b6fd user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

This is the baseline from which we will create a separate PiDP-8/I FOCAL manual matching what we actually ship.

| 04:43 | The separate "bin" and "src" steps of mkos8 as run by make were causing the lone "bin" step's log file to be clobbered by the src step. When mkos8 is not running in -v mode, its log file is now named after the first legal action name given on the command line, giving obj/mkos8-bin.log and such. check-in: 69b961a3aa user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 02:34 | When we changed DSK to RKB0, we broke cc8. To fix this while keeping mkos8.in as simple as possible we: 1. Change the destination of cc8.tu56 to RKB0. 2. Add commands to copy CC0.SV, CC1.SV, CC2.SV to SYS and delete them from RKB0. 3. Add a SQUISH of RKB0 to defragment the hole made by deleting the CC .SV files.

| 07:39 | Fixed a pexpect 3.x API compatibility problem in tools/mkos8 by checking the distribution's version number and doing things the old way if necessary. Currently tested only on pexpect v4.x, checking it in so we can go test on a machine with v3. check-in: 03d5f08098 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 07:18 | Fixed two problems with the bin/*.rk05 dependencies in the top level Makefile. First, *-src.rk05 wasn't dependent upon pidp8i-sim, so in a parallel make from a clean build tree, it could call "mkos8 src" before the simulator was built, causing a build error. Second, *-src.rk05 wasn't dependent upon *-bin.rk05, so if a parallel make chose to try and build the src RK05 first, mkos8 would internally attempt to build the bin RK05 ahead of that, during which time make could launch its own build of the bin RK05, causing a build failure as both instances of mkos8 fought over the bin RK05 image file. The strict dependency chain now defined in Makefile.in means the dependency rule between these two RK05s encoded in mkos8 is now only used when you call "mkos8 src" by hand while the bin RK05 is missing. check-in: 345cad495f user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

It also swaps out an explanation in media/subsys/README.md for why it is outside the os8 tree for an explanation of why it's in a subdirectory of that tree, a distinct improvement. check-in: 2a4f4cec29 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

Technically there are four possible alternatives, but two of them amount to the same thing (upper) so there are only three real choices. check-in: c941ce36b0 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

Two new files added to local.tu56: LCBAS.BI, UCBAS.BI they are similar to LCSYS.BI and UCSYS.BI but work on BASIC instead of the system area. mkos8.in now installs all 4 .BI batch scripts, and runs both LC batch scripts. check-in: d5c39d4421 user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 04:38 | Merged autosetup update in from trunk. This also removes the --with-* and --without-* aliases for --enable-* and --disable-* options due to a conflict with the way earlier autosetups handled this, so upstream backed that feature out.

| 13:51 | Renamed tools/mk-os8-rk05s.in to tools/mkos8.in. The new name is much easier to type, and we don't need the name to be descriptive: we have the file's header comments and docs to explain what it does. check-in: 2e6b7338de user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 13:43 | Added a call to "mk-os8-rk05s src" to the top-level Makefile from an "independency". There is a bug in the build script that prevents creation of bin/os8v3d-src.rk05, so it is temporarily disconnected from the dependency graph, but you can still say "make bin/os8v3d-src.rk05" to see the problem. (Some bug in the Expect sequence.) check-in: f435f0a472 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 13:37 | The mk-os8-rk05s script now generates *.rk05 in the bin dir, not in the media/os8 dir, since the latter contains input files; we should not be mixing inputs and outputs in the same directory. Also reworked things to allow building out-of-tree, which not coincidentally shows the value of not mixing inputs and outputs. check-in: e0173f079b user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 12:24 | Small fix to allow tools/version to be run by Makefile when building out of tree. Also cleaned up the code a bit. check-in: c94cb7be8f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:42 | Added "-os8" to all of the configure script option names that affect the flags sent to mk-os8-rk05s. This is not just bowing to Emerson's hobgoblin: it is a realization that some of these options were ambiguous in meaning outside the OS/8 RK05 build process. For example, did the old --without-cc8 option imply that the host-side CC8 compiler would also not be built? The "-os8" bit is stripped in the option names given to mk-os8-rk05s, since "OS/8" needn't be specified at that level. check-in: 8d104bd4c8 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 11:15 | Renamed --without-cc8 option to --without-os8-cc8, since it only applies to the OS/8 native CC8 compiler. When we this line of development eventually merges with the cc8-merge branch, we may want a --without-host-cc8 option or similar to make it not build the host-side CC8 compiler. The point is, they're separate things, and we have at least one use case where one is not desired while the other is: LCSYS.BI is a hindrance to some on the OS/8 side because they may be running programs that can't fold lowercase to uppercase and won't work without that folding. check-in: d5bd6bf808 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 18:06 | Removed all send() delays in mk-os8-rk05s automatically inserted by pexpect. They aren't necessary. Only the OS/8 delays we've manually inserted are necessary.

| 12:00 | Increased the simulated terminal speed implied by the new os8_kbd_delay function in mk-os8-rk05s from the 110 bps of an ASR-33 to the 2400 bps of the more-nearly contemporaneous VT05. Since this does not actually save any build time on my machine — presumably because other I/O overheads swamp it, such as the simulated TU56 reading time — I also removed all the comments about the possibility of going even faster. We've squeezed all the juice out of this stone we can. check-in: 354fa7230b user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 11:42 | Decreased the "sleep(0.5)" stuff in mk-os8-rk05s to a smaller constant (0.0909...) based on the data rate of an ASR-33 teletype which must be the worst-case value for keyboard input to OS/8. Testing shows this gives identical binary media to what the old constant produced. This is backed up by diffing the mk-os8-rk05s.log file produced by the two versions of this script, which differ semi-randomly in the instruction being executed by SIMH whenever it gets one of the Ctrl-E commands. This change saves about 12 seconds from a 55 second build on my machine relative to the old 2 cps behavior! check-in: 6b8ea89df4 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 20:14 | os8.rk05 had a version of LCSYS.BI that is incompatible with OS8/V3d. Indeed it does not work on this disk. Wherever it came from, it's wrong. New packs have the good, working, tested LCSYS.BI, as stored in local.tu56 check-in: 1e54026f8f user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |

TODO debug LCSYS.BI so that lcmod actually works. check-in: 73a45794f1 user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 06:56 | pidp8i-sim is now a prerequisite for the OS/8 RK05 pack building process. Without this, building from a clean directory fails because the simulator doesn't exist early enough. check-in: 63233d74ba user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 04:28 | Discovered that data files for YAHTZE and MONPLY were left out. Earlier test runs succeeded because the files were on RKB0 of booted packs, precisely where the basic programs are hard-coded to get them. New packs would fail to run these programs because the data files were never installed. Until now. check-in: 2251f49324 user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 03:12 | We left out too much from system Dectape 2. Now we copy in Fortran II .RL files and .HL files. Also, as a safety measure we do "SET SYS NO INIT" before running BUILD. The default Dectape images have this state, but if we ever use this code to build with another image, we need to turn off INIT. check-in: 6aa7475e9e user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 06:54 | Snapshot: re-factoring mk-os8-rk05s to be table driven is half done. Also noticed that we overflowed the directory blocks. When we add kermit, and C we run out of directory space. So I've stopped copying in the device drivers. The ones that are resident in BUILD are probably sufficient. People who want to add them in can mount the driver tape. TODO: Write it up in the Wiki page. check-in: 9a36900e5f user: poetnerd tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 11:49 | Renamed a function for consistency with a paired function check-in: 96a313d8a0 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 11:46 | Added --without-* options to the configure script corresponding to the other *.tu56 files in the media/subsys directory, which pass similarly named options to the mk-os8-rk05s script. These all default to "off", meaning that these components are normally installed. (Technically, that's backwards: autosetup considers them boolean enabled by default options, which causes the --help message to document them as --disable-*, since that is the only form of option that causes a change in the default behavior of the configure script. You can say things like ./configure --with-cc8; it just doesn't do anything useful.) check-in: 5fcb62ab70 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 11:09 | Added the "./configure --with-music" option, which in turn causes the flag of the same name to be passed to the mk-os8-media script when called from the top-level Makefile. check-in: 23021c2cc5 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 11:04 | The mk-os8-rk05s script now runs as part of the normal build process as well as a prerequisite for the "install" and "run" targets. If any of the relevant TU56 tapes or the mk* script changes, the output is invalidated and gets rebuilt. check-in: 4d1a7ed591 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 11:04 | boot/0.script now boots from the new os8v3d.rk05, not the old os8.rk05. The new one is still not finished, but it will be by the time this branch is marged into the trunk, and it's convenient to be able to say "make run" to test our progress. check-in: 9df3792722 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 10:31 | Added --with-music option to tools/mk-os8-rk05s script. This checkin also changes pretty much every bit of code that referred to the media/os8 subdirectory, since we now need to refer also to media/subsys. Future --with and --without flags added to this script will not be so intrusive. check-in: 586526ddfe user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 09:39 | The new mk-os8-rk05s -v flag now has an effect, causing SIMH and OS/8 output to go to the console instead of to a log file, which is now called obj/mk-os8-rk05s.log instead of log.txt at the top level. This option also suppresses most of the progress messages we added recently since the output from SIMH and/or OS/8 suffice in that case, and we don't want their outputs polluted by messages from the script in that case anyway. check-in: 66481ebd58 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 09:20 | Replaced the command line parser of mk-os8-rk05s with an ArgumentParser based one, which does better error checking and generates a nice usage message. It also parses an optional -v or --verbose flag, which we will do something with next. check-in: fe1d1e04f1 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 08:27 | Added a UTF-8 encoding hint comment to the top of tools/mk-os8-rk05s.in. Python doesn't assume UTF-8 on POSIX platforms as most other languages do, and it barfs on the non-ASCII © symbol in the new header comment without this. check-in: 235bdcc40b user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 07:14 | Added checks for Python and pexpect to the configure process, as they are necessary to run tools/mk-os8-rk05s, which will shortly become a required part of the build sequence. It does not check for Python 2 vs Python 3, as it is not yet known to me (at least) whether this distinction matters. check-in: 4307eba025 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |

| 06:30 | Added a sensible-default cd $prefix/share/media to etc/pidp8i-init.in just before the "start simulator under screen" call, so that SIMH's CWD will be somewhere useful, not taking the default used by the OS's init system, which may well be something entirely unhelpful like /. check-in: 46366581f0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:07 | Moved media/os8/make_os8_rk05s.py.in to tools/mk-os8-rk05s.in. The directory change is because it will become an automatically-run build tool, and it is not now nor will it become "media". The file name change is mainly a matter of matching existing style: dashes instead of underscores, no ".py" extension needed for one-file scripts, and historically "mk" instead of "make" on a Unix type platform. check-in: a1be47bd09 user: tangent tags: clean-os8-packs | |
| 04:53 | This version of make_os8_rk05s.py.in seems to work. TODO: 1. More testing of the packs generated. 2. Check on how the system Dectape got modified. (It's probably fine.) 3. Remove the old os8v3d-bin.rk05 and os8v3d-src.rk05 images. 4. Expand the script to build a new os8.rk05 5.

It's helpful on the Pi for ensuring that you get real-time priority when running a test build, but on all other host platforms, it isn't needed, so it adds an unnecessary password prompt and runs the simulator with more privs that it needs.

| 01:45 | Changed a bunch of "return;" lines in the CC8 cross-compiler to "return 0". It's using K&R function declarations, which means you get an implicit "int" return type, and Clang won't let you just "return" in this case. check-in: b74fa40bf2 user: tangent tags: cc8-merge | |
| 01:43 | Changed the declaration of main's argv parameter for the cross-compiler from int* to char** to quiet Clang. This does mean the compiler can't be bootstrapped on OS/8 by CC8 from these sources, but according to Ian Schofield, that produces an unusably big assembly output already. Therefore, the only important compiler for this file is GCC or Clang. check-in: c5afc7544f user: tangent tags: cc8-merge | |

| 01:26 | Small tweaks to the CC8 top-level readme check-in: 5a6768982e user: tangent tags: cc8-merge | |
| 01:13 | Merged in the 2017.07.08 distribution of Ian Schofield's Small-C based CC8 native and cross-compilers for the C programming language. This checkin differs in many ways from the upstream distribution so far, with more changes planned before merge into the trunk: * Converted the RTF and the Readme.txt files to Makrdown format. * Fixed some typos and grammar errors in those files flagged by LibreOffice Write. * Changed "PDP/8" to "PDP-8" and similar, to match DEC conventions. * Fixed some case inconsistencies: e.g. "N8.c", which is actually distributed as "n8.c". * Replaced the link to Vince Slyngstad's SVN checkout image to a link to the HTML page that describes it. * Moved the top-level RTF doc's Addendum up above the Conclusion as the new Preprocessor section. * Changed "hosted" to "cross" in the top-level doc, that being the more common term for this sort of C compiler, and because "hosted" has a different meaning in the C standard. * Renamed the SMC directory to "cross" for the same reason; also, this can't really be said to be a distribution of Small-C any more, with so many differences. * Qualified "native" with "OS/8" or "PDP-8", as seemed appropriate. The unqualified form could refer to the cross-compiler, since it is native to the SIMH host! * Renamed the "ccos8" subdirectory to just "os8", since this software is under a cc8 directory in the PiDP-8/I tree, with subdirectories for the CC8 cross-compiler (cc8/cross) and the CC8 OS/8 compiler (cc8/os8). * The top-level PiDP-8/I build system now builds the cross-compiler, so I removed all the other Makefiles and project files. * Moved the warning about using unix2dos into the top-level README.md, from cc8/smc/test/Readme.txt, where few would notice it. * Consolidated redundant copies of OS8.TM and libc.h into a cc8/include directory, with symlinks checked in for the benefit of the native OS/8 compiler, which would make use of relative paths annoying. (When checked out on a Windows box, the symlinks will give copies of the files, due to severe limitations in the NTFS symlink implementation.) I also renamed OS8.TM to init.pa, as this doesn't seem OS/8-specific, and it appears to be PAL assembly code, not a temporary file, that being the normal meaning of *.TM on OS/8. * Left out *.s, as they are generated files. (I did check in header.sb, as it appears hand-written.) * Renamed 7.script to boot/cc8.script and rk05.dsk to media/os8/cc8.rk05, and updated the references. * Removed the VC8 stuff from the boot script, since the current SIMH build does not include that, so it generates errors on start. check-in: 6cfe232a65 user: tangent tags: cc8-merge | |

| 12:39 | Disabling PDP-8 CPU idling when ILS is enabled. This has always been the default for some boot/*.script files, but we need to enforce it when ILS is enabled because we need regular CPU instruction rates to make this work. Closes [c9eb5ac0144] Also added a new configure script flag, --no-idle, to allow NLS users to disable CPU idling too, if they like. The *.script files generated from *.pal are marked noidle, with no way to change it at present.

| 11:46 | The new PDF size change detector in the simh-update script would cause an error if the output PDF file didn't already exist.

| 11:39 | The use of cmp(1) in tools/simh-update to detect PDF change wasn't doing the right thing, apparently because metadata is changing on each re-render. (e.g. timestamps, possibly GUIDs, etc.) Switched to a simple file size difference test, which should suffice for our purposes.

Not everyone will understand that 8 hex digits is more than enough to make a unique match in our small-ish repository. Also made the build depend on tools/version such that when that script file changes, it does a rebuild in case some future change like this occurs. It wasn't necessary this time because we also touched Makefile.in, but we might not always do so in the future. check-in: b68d4a68fc user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 03:43 | The code matching USB-attached files to PDP-8 device name extensions wasn't checking that the extension is at the end of the file, so a file called a.pt.b would match the *.pt check. It also wasn't ignoring dotfiles, so not only would it waste a bunch of time looking at . and .., it would have mounted .foo.pt, which probably isn't what you want. Also added a bunch more debugging. check-in: fe9dec9077 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

It was previously set for an RL01 drive attached to an RL8A disk controller for the PDP-8/a, which is about 8 years after the PDP-8/I, and the drives themselves are more commonly associated with PDP-11s besides.

| 08:05 | Small fix to previous Closed-Leaf check-in: 55674b341d user: tangent tags: interlocked-gpio-start | |
| 08:01 | Initial work towards fixing [88fad950a3] by adding an interlock between the new start_pidp8i_gpio_thread() wrapper and the early init stuff in gpio_thread(). Basically, instead of calling sleep(2) after creating the GPIO thread to give that thread time to start up, we play a little game with mutexes that will block the main thread if the GPIO thread isn't sufficiently initted by the time we're ready to return from our start_pidp8i_gpio_thread() call. Untested, since the work is being done on the desktop, and it only takes effect on the Pi. check-in: 1e40f7741f user: tangent tags: interlocked-gpio-start | |

| 06:40 | Disabled the DF32 device in all boot/*.script outputs, since we don't use it, and its default device name ("DF") is ambiguous with respect to a PDP-8 CPU register that's always present. check-in: 84a8e1d314 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:43 | The attempt to do read-only I/O on the Raspberry Pi GPIO peripheral from the scanswitch program on the basis that we only need read-only access here falls down in reality because merely reading one of the GPIO pins fails with a segfault if you don't have the peripheral read-write mapped. This can only be classed as a bug in the GPIO peripheral driver, but we have to work with the software as we find it. check-in: 535a9561c2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 04:22 | The two GPIO thread start cases in pidp8i-sim and pidp8i-test weren't equivalent, so the prior checkin prevented the simulator from starting on non-Pi hosts. The difference is that pidp8i-test *must* map the GPIO periphieral into RAM to proceed, while pidp8i-sim would like to have it mapped, but it can fall back to stock SIMH behavior if it isn't present. Therefore, added a new flag to start_pidp8i_gpio_thread() to indicate whether the GPIO peripheral must map or not. Also made a similar distinction for map_peripheral(), which now understands non-exclusive mappings for use by libexec/scanswitch while another PiDP-8/I based program runs: there's no reason we can't get the switch values in this case, we just need to open the peripheral for read-only access, without locking it. Also fixed a bug introduced in [0bd33744ffb07b75]: the @VERSION@ string in the config line was accidentally replaced by its value at that time, doubtless due to hasty copy-pasting between gpio-common.c and gpio-common.c.in. check-in: d5722b7ca4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:49 | scanswitch must now link with -pthread on Linux since it linkes to gpio-common.o, which how includes the new GPIO thread start/stop routines, even though it doesn't call them. check-in: ee85a40171 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:42 | Moved the start/stop GPIO thread code common to both the pidp8i-sim and pidp8i-test cases into a pair of helper routines in src/gpio-common.c.in now called by both. gpio_thread() is now module-scoped, since other modules now no longer need to know about it. check-in: 498ea766b0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:45 | The recent renaming of the top-level "os8test" target in the Makefile.in wasn't reflected into tools/simh-update.in, so the OS/8 test after a successful simh-update run wasn't running. check-in: 160dff50d7 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:43 | Cleaned up GPIO thread starting and stopping code at the top of main() in src/scp.c: match local style, give less generic error message on thread start failure, and use variable names less likely to conflict with future upstream SIMH changes. check-in: b0534785eb user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:34 | Removed "Ian Schofield" from src/PDP8/pdp8_cpu.c license comment, since his brtval update patch has since been removed from this module. The closest rough equivalent to this is now in src/gpio-ils.c. check-in: 36f36410b9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:30 | Merged in PDP-8 DECtape fixes from SIMH upstream check-in: 7b8b53d287 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:27 | Removed the negative enum value test in the prior checkins because it causes clang on macOS to complain that this can't happen. It's right, if everyone is playing ball, but since we have the assert test on unhandled cases, we don't need to squish the warning. We'll just catch it at run time via the assert() path rather than by an explicit test. check-in: 7f98b5a844 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:21 | The prior checkin removed the last legitimate reason for src/scp.c to be generated by autosetup from scp.c.in: it needed the @BOOTSCRIPT@ value to build the "do $bootscript" commands. We now delegate that back to the pidp8i.c module which has a better reason to be generated from pidp8i.c.in by autosetup. check-in: ce2c9d0444 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:17 | Moved all handling of awfulHackFlag into the pidp8i.c module and cleaned its handling up so that it is no longer "awful". It is now just a module global set during the brief window between when the switch handler sets it from within the PDP-8 CPU core and when SCP calls back into this module via a new pidp8i.h API that builds the command we want SCP to run for us as part of handling that front panel switch combo. For the most part, this is functionally identical to the previous implementation, except for being a lot cleaner. There are some messaging differences, and we now exhaustively handle all of the command value cases, however. check-in: 491698e049 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 23:33 | Reworked the "awful hack flag" handler in src/scp.c.in to a) eliminate the code duplication with respect to the upstream version; b) match the upstream style; c) clarify the code flow; d) add several comments and one diagnostic message. No functional change. check-in: 67498625df user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 22:56 | Rather than ifdef'ing out all the uses of the upstream sim_video module and not including it, we now build it without defining `SIM_VIDEO`, which basically turns it into a stub module that compiles quickly even on a Pi 1. We don't use it presently, but we may need it later for things like on-Pi Spacewar builds where the X-Y vector output uses the SIMH SDL video subsystem. The primary point of this change, however, is to let us remove unnecessary changes in the patch we make relative to the upstream SIMH code. check-in: a328b94dcb user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 22:36 | Reworked the bosi process to no longer take a "blocks" value in the "image" step. Now that we're using 2G cards, we can just copy the slack space, too, and expect it to compact down nicely in the Zip step. This in turn let us get rid of the clumsy "image-nls" tag scheme, since we can just use the parameter space vacated by the vague "object" parameter. Since we've got a single-core Pi here to build images with, we don't need to pass --no-lamp-simulator to the "bosi init" step, either, the other user of the "object" parameter. This should fix the unbootable image problem we had with the last single-core OS image. check-in: e928902283 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 14:13 | The bosi image step now zeroes the SD card prior to re-writing the image to it. If you were to pass a truncating size value to it, the lack of this step means you'd read a short image, then rewrite the card with the same truncated image, and not realize that it's a bad image because the rest is still there. By zeroing it, we produce a fairer test. check-in: 62df1ff915 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

It runs fine at ~2x PDP-8/I speed (666k) and refused to accept a throttle value of 750k, so the prior 4x default (1332k) was definitely out, even if we assume the prior code was a lot faster; it certainly wasn't 2x faster! check-in: e8f9a47e1e user: tangent tags: trunk | |

The only functional difference is that our version would ignore SIMH breakpoints. I can't see why we'd want that: if someone sets a SIMH breakpoint, of *course* it should drop into the sim> prompt, even if this isn't period-correct.

| 14:58 | First cut at abstracting the simple "update panel LEDs" loop for use by NLS full time and ILS while the processor is in STOP mode.

This restores ~8 MIPS operation on my Pi 3, and I think we can get away with it now that we're calculating LED brightness based on an aggregate history. This checkin greatly decimates that value, but before, we were doing single- instruction sampling. We may have to adjust the decimation value, but even a bit of decimation should help a lot. check-in: 5940370e0c user: tangent tags: led-counters | |

| 12:39 | First attempt at taking the simple bitfields used for communicating register values between the PDP-8 CPU instruction execution loop and the PiDP-8/I front panel GPIO thread and switching them to a 2D array of LED "on" counts, allowing us to accuractely calculate the brightness of the LED at that time. This code builds on macOS, but it has yet to be tested on the Pi, which is part of why this is being checked in on a branch. The other reason is that we're pretty sure it's going to take at least one more checkin to turn this into something we can ship. check-in: 66a2818a47 user: tangent tags: led-counters | |

| 09:53 | Reworked the set_pidp8i_leds() calls so that there are now only two of them, one at init time outside the CPU dispatch loop, and once down at the very end before we fetch the next instruction. The manipulation of the pause, execute, and fetch LEDs now happens via separate dedicated functions, so we're not flashing the whole panel several times per PDP-8 instruction. check-in: c342062fc7 user: tangent tags: set-leds-cleanup | |
| 09:37 | Moved NCOLS, NROWS, and NLEDROWS constants out of gpio-common.c.in into its header file so we don't need to export the corresponding integers.

| 02:09 | Several adjustments to set_pidp8i_leds() calls. The main practical improvement is that we can now see execute state on the front panel. It was in that state too briefly before it got reset to fetch. check-in: 3c2086101e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:44 | Removed the code that skips updating the global ledstatus[] values from the PDP-8 CPU core based on the human PoV limit. Because the GPIO thread runs asynchronously with it and has its own timing, these two high-jitter timing loops created a messy beat frequency on the front panel, which you could see in a tight KSF ; JMP .-1 loop, as OS/8 does when idle, waiting for a key. This mechanism came to us in the merger of the common parts of ILS and NLS, and ILS only needed it when it was modifying the LED brightness values values in the SIMH thread instead of in the GPIO thread as it does now. The only argument for continuing to do this — and for also doing it for NLS — is that it avoids a bunch of recalculation that the human couldn't see, but that is only true if the GPIO thread is able to stochastically sample the LED states so that even with the asynchronous jitter going on, a tight loop like the above eventually blurs together to a nice 50/50 mix of the two instructions' LED states, especially under the ILS. Ultimately, any attention paid to the human PoV limit has to be over in the GPIO thread. check-in: 61ce7d6852 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

These Makefiles purposely redirect only top level "build the software" type targets, leaving out "run the system" or "install the system" type targets, which must be run from the top level. These intermediate Makefiles also don't try to do anything special for individual targets. So, there is no way to rebuild, say, a single example from the examples subdirectory. This is not a recursive make system, where the top level delegates to the subdirectories, on purpose.

| 02:17 | Merged int-math-ils branch back in even though the stated purpose of the branch was a failure, since the new code does at least move knowledge of brtval out of the pidp8i.c module and into gpio-ils.c, so that all ILS code is now in that one module. check-in: 5c46b0cc5e user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 01:49 | Experimental try for integer math approximation in the ILS feature. This also merges the brightness value calculation into gpio-ils.c and removes the ILS-specific call rate code in set_pidp8i_leds(), since I realized that the required update rate was simply to make the call rate equal the iteration rate of blink_core() over in the GPIO module! That is, we were trying to synchronize two functions in two threads, even though they had no reason to communicate. This change also effectively returns the ILS module to receiving ledstatus[] as its LED value input, rather than brtval. This should mean we can link pidp8i-test and Deeper Thought 2 against the ILS module, once we've proven out the feature. check-in: 87e9a944ef user: tangent tags: int-math-ils | |
| 00:03 | set_pidp8i_leds() now flashes the new LED values over in a single memcpy() call instead of setting one row at a time over the course of the bulk of the function in case this makes the display a bit more consistent.

| 22:12 | Updating our estimate of the proper skip count in set_pidp8i_leds() in order to give an LED value update rate of ~100 updates per second, roughly equal to the human PoV limit. The prior method used a hardcoded value which means on really fast Pis we're updating more often than we need to, and when the PDP-8 simulator is throttled down (such as for a blinkenlights demo) we were updating way too slowly. As proof of concept, the ac-mq-blinker example now runs at less than 1/10 the speed it used to, yet it looks vastly better than before.

| 19:47 | tools/mkbootscript was attempting to sort the core addresses in its boot/*.script outputs, but it was using the default sort ordering, which in Perl happens to be string ordering, not numeric ordering as we were blindly assuming, and that gives odd results with some scripts.

| 18:45 | If INSTUSR is "root" during the configure step (say, because you've run it as "sudo ./configure") it will now error out rather than generate init scripts and such that we know are wrong. This can happen by accident, such as whenever you touch a *.in file that causes an autoreconfig; if done while sudo'd for some reason, you get this effect. This is fixing a real occurence, not a purely theoretical problem. check-in: 1f7c6b2d7b user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 15:52 | Fixed a couple of problems in the way SING INST and CONT were handled. These are related because in the old way of doing things, these two switches had a kind of lock-step operation that tried to split instruction execution over two separate passes of the PDP-8 sim's CPU instruction decoding loop. Now these two switches are handled more or less the same way as all the others, in a single cycle of the instruction loop. With the prior scheme, while the processor was stopped with a HLT instruction, pressing CONT would basically jump 2 instructions forward, rather than continue to the instruction after the HLT, skipping it. This fix closes [f961906a5c]. While in there and reading the DEC documentation describing the proper operation of the switches, I found that we weren't handling SING_INST properly at all. When flipped with the processor in free-running mode, it is supposed to stop the processor just as if you'd pressed STOP. Now it does. (I could have checked this in separately, but the two fixes are in overlapping and interrelated sections of code, so it doesn't make sense to check in a purposely-written erroneous SING INST handler just to get a separate checkin comment.) check-in: 9a12773270 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 13:28 | Factored the vast bulk of the PiDP-8/I specific code out of PDP8/pdp8_cpu.c into a set of several new functions defined in a new PDP8/pidp8i.c module. Along the way, reworked the code style to match the rest of SIMH. Very little is functionally different, and the differences are intended to only be spot improvements not needing a separate checkin comment. Examples: a) some of the bit twiddling math was overly complex, so reduced several 3-ish line calculations to one-liners; b) appended strerror(errno) to some error message strings; c) reorganized the switch testing code a bit to reduce the number of times certain tests and calculations are made. This change also greatly reduces the number of PiDP-8/I specific globals. All but one of the app-wide globals that used to be defined in pdp8_cpu.c.in are now scoped to the pidp8i.c module, and all but one of those are statics scoped to a single function in that module. Because this refactoring moves the @BOOTDIR@ usage from pdp8_cpu.c to the new pidp8i module, the SIMH module is back to being a static C file, while pdp8i.c is generated from pidp8i.c.in. Also added a whole bunch more comments, and moved some prior comments into bug tickets. Checking this in as a branch because it is so extensive that I might have broken something. It hasn't been tested yet because I did the work on my fast desktop PC, not on the Pi, there being no point since the changes are so wide-reaching that it didn't even start building again until just before this checkin. Now it's time to do that testing. check-in: 642a7201a0 user: tangent tags: cpu-cleanup | |

| 07:49 | Moved the installation of the boot scripts from "make install" to "make mediainstall". We shouldn't overwrite the boot scripts for the same reason we shouldn't overwrite the binary media images. check-in: 54324622fc user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:39 | Added a sched_yield() call to the end of the main GPIO loop to clue the scheduler that we're done for that iteration. The fflush() call we have there already may suffice, but at the very least, this is explicit. check-in: dc48d6cd85 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:37 | Lowered the scheduling priority of the GPIO thread from 98 (near the max of 99) to 4 (still well above the minimum of 1) since this seems to work just as well. This may simply be because no other processes on the Pi are using SCHED_FIFO. check-in: 3fd8bee1ba user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 22:27 | Added the new SIMH-style license grant to the header comment of the gpio*.c modules, and added Ian Schofield to the gpio.c module (only!) and to the pdp8_cpu.c.in module, per this private email reply to my licensing proposal: "This looks absolutely fine to me. Do add this license to the tarball if we all agree." check-in: 06829f12b1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 22:09 | SIMH doesn't support THROTTLE values below 1k (or maybe 10k) so changed the --throttle=human and =trace configure script options to use a different syntax which allows specifying speed in terms of instructions/ms. check-in: 26a6b02367 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 15:53 | The *BSDs all understand sysctl hw.ncpu, so added tests for those to tools/corecount, so it'll return the correct value on them, too. check-in: 4be8a6510e user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:36 | We weren't cleaning up after a few of the recently-added *.in files in "make clean". Fixed. check-in: 8cd4016117 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:03 | A prior checkin accidentally changed the way HLT instructions are handled. It was an attempt to fix bug [f961906a5c] which wasn't intended to be checked in; the fix doesn't work, so it's now back to the way the code worked yesterday, which is still broken. check-in: 6155a4b535 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:39 | Adjusted the single-core SIMH throttle value down from 3.3 MIPS to 1.6 MIPS. The prior value gave about 50% CPU usage for all threads in pidp8i-sim on a Pi 3, so cut it in half for a Pi 1. Also had to change the notation from "3.3M" to "1600k" because SIMH refuses to handle fractional values; LAME. check-in: 0770a4a2ec user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:26 | All of the boot scripts except for those generated from assembly code now have a SIMH throttle value set based on either detected CPU cores at configuration time or the value of the new --throttle configure script value. Added README-throttle.md to describe the values allowed for this option, as they're pretty extensive. On a multi-core machine, the default is to have the prior behavior, which is no throttling: run flat-out, taking up a whole CPU core for pidp8i-sim's main thread, leaving the rest for the GPIO thread and whatever else the Pi does. On a single-core machine, the default is to set a value that should give something like 50% CPU usage to pidp8i-sim on the slowest Raspberry Pis we support, allowing enough CPU power left over for the incandescent lamp simulator thread. Consequently, removed README-single-core.md and the references to it. Closes [dfd864da90]. check-in: 48b84d4bd9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:11 | The mkrel process now attempts to do all the work automatically, with no user input. The prior release showed that the gap between releases is long enough that I can't remember what to write as release comments, and because the comment editor takes over the screen, I can't figure it out from the context of previously-executed commands, since the editor hides that. check-in: 58e0f138a0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:05 | Replaced the "make -j11" hard-coded values with a call to a new helper script, tools/mmake which calls another newly-added script (tools/corecount) to get the core count on this system and multiply it by 1.5 and pass it to make -j. It currently knows how to do this on Linux and Mac OS X. For all other systems, it returns 1, so it gives you make -j1, since the math truncates, rather than rounds. This is not just a nicety: "make -j11" can lock up a Pi in some cases. It appears to be worst when most of the files in the system have to be rebuilt. It's probably running the system out of RAM, and it isn't handling it gracefully. check-in: cffeb65eb8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:53 | Style improvments to the coverage of ./configure script options in README.md. check-in: e30b30d2ef user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:31 | Backed out part of [842fb3ef61] since now all of boot/*.script are generated in one way or another. Therefore, we no longer need to install @srcdir@/boot/*.script. (This doesn't revert the change, it effectively *inverts* the way this install step worked prior to that checkin: we used to install only from the srcdir, but now we install only from the builddir.) check-in: 71586b261d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:27 | Added tools/mkbootscript, a Perl script that parses palbart listing files generated during the normal build process and turns them into SIMH boot scripts. This in turn means we can remove boot/1.script and boot/5.script, since they can now be generated from corresponding programs in examples/*.pal. Closes [87cb9ca2f0] check-in: d77e169826 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:21 | Added examples/bit-rotate.pal, a very simple demo, which we'll be using as a test case shortly. check-in: 06b08e0c58 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:21 | Added examples/asr33-rim-loader.pal, the Teletype Model 33 ASR version of examples/hs-rim-loader.pal, corresponding to what is currently checked in as boot/asr33-rim-loader.script. check-in: cd98f98dd1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:53 | Added examples/hs-rim-loader.pal, PAL assembly code for the high-speed RIM paper tape loader currently given in boot/1.script. It produces the same code, except that it starts 1 location earlier in core with a HLT instruction, which will become important later. check-in: 5b4b65874f user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 06:30 | When cloning the SIMH license agreement for the new authors, accidentally included "ROBERT M SUPNIK" in the no-warranty clause. Substituted generic "the authors" language. Also regularized the whitespace of the clause after that to match the rest. check-in: 81915a1c50 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:19 | When building out-of-tree, only the boot/*.script files in the src tree would be installed. Now installing both those and the ones in the build tree generated from boot/*.script.in. This means that building in-tree causes the same files to be copied twice for each such generated script, but that's harmless. check-in: 842fb3ef61 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:53 | Replaced several gotos with "continue" statements: the goto label was at the end of a while() loop, and all of the "goto skip" statements were up at that while loop's level, so there was no need to use goto here. check-in: 270d24975c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:31 | Fixed a needless whitespace difference with respect to upstream SIMH code. check-in: 7085e873a6 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:19 | Applied a patch from the mailing list: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pidp-8/DzpKgmC7bck/4_3hr53yCwAJ This patch allows the simulator's internal EAE's step counter value to be displayed on the PiDP-8/I front panel. Without this patch, those LEDs remain dark, even when the simulator is doing work that should make them blink. This patch got lost for so long because it was supposed to go into the "next version" of Oscar Vermeulen's source base, but there was no such version. Since this happened well before my maintainership, it was lost until Paul R. Bernard pointed it out to me. check-in: ab402f9eaf user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:31 | Added a copy of the SIMH license agreement to the top of src/test.c, modified to refer to its author, Paul R. Bernard. The license grant was obtained via private email; in reply to the same message referenced in the prior checkin, PRB said, "I agree with your license changes." check-in: 17b7de432b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:27 | Added a similar license to the existing SIMH one to the top of pdp8_cpu.c.in and scp.c.in, allowing the changes made by Oscar Vermeulen and Warren Young to be used on the same terms as SIMH itself. The license grant from Oscar Vermeulen was obtained via private email: WY: "To make things truly simple, I propose using the same license SIMH itself uses. I hereby agree to license my changes to the current software under the following license: [same text as committed here snipped]" And in reply: OV: "I agree - happy to keep my part under the original simh license." check-in: b536178bf2 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 23:55 | Added "make simh-update" and "make simh-update-f" targets which run a new script, tools/simh-update [-f].

In fact, if you *don't* use the original buildroot custom OS, it doesn't work at all. Since I don't want to use buildroot, we might as well free these front panel switch combos up for other purposes. check-in: d13004a8f5 user: tangent | |
| 04:49 | The /dev/gpiomem mmap/unmap pair now acquires a lock on the device so that two LED-manipulating programs cannot grab the device at once. This prevents multiple pidp8i-sim simulators or combinations of simulator and pidp8i-test from fighting over the LEDs.

| 03:25 | If the simulator fails to open /dev/gpiomem or to mmap() the GPIO peripheral into its address space, it now disables the PiDP-8/I front panel functionality so that we don't get phantom switch activations on non-Pi systems. Basically, it reverts to nearly-stock SimH behavior. This lets you build and test off the Pi, on a faster system, and deploy to the Pi once you've got something worth testing on the actual hardware. Closes [0a89046aab5]. check-in: 1486a28eb2 user: tangent | |
| 03:07 | The init script now drops superuser privileges before executing any screen(1) command so that the simulator and its attached screen session are owned by the user who configured the software, which is presumably the one who will be trying to run it. Similarly, the bin/pidp8i script now no longer runs screen(1) via sudo. The practical upshot of this is that the only remaining commands that you have to run via sudo are the ones to start and stop the simulator, and that's only because service control feels like it should belong to root. Closes [aa4c9ba77]. check-in: 477b1549b6 user: tangent | |
| 02:28 | The binary media images now install as group-writeable by the primary group of the user who ran the configure script, so that you can run the simulator against the installed images as a regular user and still be able to write to the installed media. check-in: 023ef97693 user: tangent | |

| 16:26 | The gpio-nls module now uses /dev/gpiomem instead of /dev/mem, so it can run without sudo, which is a doubly good thing because sudo resets the path so that the normal installation location's bin subdir isn't included. check-in: f1572cc816 user: tangent | |
| 16:01 | Got rid of STMAX as a separate constant, since it suffices to just reuse MAX, with the understanding that MAX < 1024 now, so that the subtotal rollover point is <= 1024.

Not only does it mean we can stop checking *.lst and *.pt into the source repo, it means we get a much newer version in many cases since the standard version you find most places is 2.4 or 2.5, which is about 6 years older, with many missing features and fixes. check-in: c77171d87c user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 13:54 | First version of PEP001 that seems to 100% answer the question as asked, rather than subsets of the problem. It required a new subtotalling mechanism and a lot of new I/O. (Still at least one check to be done.) check-in: 976f6cbda2 user: tangent tags: project-euler | |

| 12:15 | Branch for those who want Ian Schofield's incandescent lamp simulator code backed out. It is not simply a reversion to [3a85f08639], it still contains all of the improvements we've made on the trunk. This branch will continue to be periodically refreshed from the trunk until we manage to extract the front panel code from the simulator, at which point we'll need to take a second stab at making this code optional. At that time, it will be possible to disable it with a configure script option rather than make the user switch branches in the Fossil repo. check-in: cb64c4a4b2 user: tangent tags: no-lamp-simulator | |
| 09:03 | Fixed problems with decimal print routine. Routine itself was fine, but the terminal had to be made ready manually.

| 12:31 | Improved the make clean and distclean targets. (Recent developents weren't tracked here, so they left things behind.) check-in: 0ab8580cc5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:04 | Fixed a Tcl dialect problem in auto.def. (It works fine under the provided jimsh0, but fails under the "real" tclsh.) check-in: 4290a6b58c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:01 | Fixed a remaining vestige of the old halt-and-jump flavor of the add.pal program in examples/README.md, and made a few other clarifications. check-in: 6316f5ecde user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:41 | Clarified the examples/README.md text explaining the problem with trying to run examples/add.pal under OS/8. check-in: 50d75d52d9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:15 | Released v2016.11.28, since these recent boot script finding fixes are too important to hold for the next. check-in: 3306636201 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:13 | Replaced the two remaining uses of relative paths for finding boot scripts with absolute paths. Turns out that when running under from systemd, we can't count on the CWD to remain in $prefix/bin, so trying to restart into a different bootscript would fail. (Thus the recent change to make it not spam the console when this happens.) check-in: 308e7643d0 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:12 | Fixed a place where we were building up a boot script path too-manually. autosetup already determined the proper value for us. check-in: 926e741794 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:04 | Better error handling in the code that maps IF switches to boot script names. If the files weren't present at the expected location, it would spam the console as fast as possible. Now it just screams and dies. check-in: f08cae1d9d user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:39 | Added ./configure --debug-mode flag, for setting CFLAGS+=-O0 -g. Also including -O2 when this flag is not set, for a release build. check-in: e785375d85 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:26 | Relaxed permissions on installed media and boot scripts. No point making them world-unreadable. check-in: 655ab53277 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:35 | Updated USB stick label document, created PDF version so the dot matrix fon can be embedded, and added labels/README.md, now referred to from examples/README.md. check-in: 1d19ec8a17 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:48 | Documented the method for loading the RIM-format examples/*.pt files from USB sticks, so that all three options listed at the top of the file have a full explanation below. check-in: c654e600ac user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:47 | Re-assembled examples/add.pt in RIM format. check-in: d4ddafefaf user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 08:29 | The palbart command for building the examples was generating *.pt in BIN format, but we don't want to depend on the BIN loader for such small programs. Made it emit RIM format files instead. check-in: 1da5a192e4 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:49 | Typo fix check-in: 666dfa81a9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:47 | Fixed a couple of "PDP-8/I" references that should be "PiDP-8/I" check-in: 43ef1b33b5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:43 | Converted some hard tabs to spaces check-in: b280b43d67 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:40 | Moved previous text a bit lower in the README.md for clarity and esthetics in the web-rendered version. check-in: 695309f535 user: tangent tags: trunk, v20161127 | |
| 06:38 | Added the "build essential" fix for "No working C compiler found" check-in: da70707573 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 06:28 | Released v2016.11.27 check-in: 95de43f25c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:43 | Header tweak check-in: 6c374cc6f9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:29 | Added a link check-in: 638f0605e8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 05:27 | Added a section to examples/README.md showing how to transcribe these example programs into an OS/8 session, then to edit, assemble, and run then within it, all without roaching OS/8. check-in: 83531ee345 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:26 | Added links from examples/README.md to referenced files in the repo check-in: 050f70179a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:14 | On systems without palbart, the previous checkin caused a build failure because of a strangeness in the way autosetup handles undefined values. Fixed. check-in: e66b7967af user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 03:10 | If palbart is found at configure time, the examples are added to the list of things to be built, so that any changes to examples/*.pal can now be automatically built, including renaming *.bin outputs to *.pt. check-in: 9aa3b48ea3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:59 | More examples/README.md improvements check-in: de0862ec06 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:37 | More tweaks to the examples' README check-in: 35a792aa9a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:29 | Simplified and clarified the "add" example check-in: d55acb82ff user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:41 | Updated binary-glob settings for media/*/*. (Missed these when moving imagefiles to media.) check-in: c23bee4ae1 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:40 | More improvements to the `add` example and our explanation of it check-in: 8edf63a8f3 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:14 | Updated the change log check-in: d6a59a3f3a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:11 | Added a README.md file to the examples directory explaining their use, and included the add.lst file so users don't have to have a PAL-III assembler in order to get the octal dump of the program. check-in: 9bf2da570b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:29 | Replaced the description of the new build system in ChangeLog.md with a reference to the new README.md file. check-in: efc3e42fee user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 00:10 | Added a simple PAL-III example program check-in: 414bf01d85 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 09:24 | Fixed a bug in the recent $prefix/share/boot changes to "make install" check-in: d2ae60a7be user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:21 | Moved bin/scanswitch into libexec/scanswitch, per FHS. (That is, it is a program that's normally used internally within the software, not something that should be in the user's PATH.) check-in: 3850bf3c78 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:12 | Renamed bootscripts/ in the source tree to boot/ and installing its contents into $prefix/share/boot according to FHS. check-in: 6a4641388f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:05 | Renamed imagefiles dir to media in the source tree, and installing its contents to $prefix/share/media to conform to the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, the official way of doing things on Linux. check-in: 136f311902 user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 08:34 | Rewrote the readme.txt file as README.md, and wrote a longer version of the brief credits found in that file as AUTHORS.md. check-in: 455d4da843 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:32 | Renamed all "pidp" references remaining related to the initscript and screen(1) to "pidp8i". Closes [5a50b2b21e] check-in: e8a260f907 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 07:10 | The install make target now overwrites the OS and program media in $prefix/imagefiles only when os8.rk05 is missing at install time. You can force a reinstall with "make mediainstall". check-in: a1e313a8af user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:51 | Made "install" target depend on "all" check-in: 2d6ab60acf user: tangent tags: trunk | |

| 23:03 | Fixed some more "PiDP-8" -> "PiDP-8/I" references check-in: 605fe0aa51 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 22:48 | Fixed autodependency include for new location of scanswitch.c check-in: e962572e34 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 22:44 | Removed commented-out stuff from src/gpio.h and rearranged the header check-in: b3e2b1fb56 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 22:41 | The differences in the near-duplicate copy of gpio.h have no effect, so moved scanswitch.c up to the top src level and removed its subdirectory. Closes [0c6553aaa36]. check-in: 2b3b157d60 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:43 | The new build system now allows building out-of-tree check-in: ce17709249 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 16:23 | More ChangeLog work check-in: 596b45e203 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:50 | Fixed a portability problem in auto.def that prevented some of the recent changes from running on OS X. check-in: 5783b221d5 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:42 | More work on the changelog check-in: 6565719ef8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 15:26 | Added ChangeLog.md check-in: b0fb73d366 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:50 | Fixed the upstream bug in the init script where failure to run scanswitch would cause it to try and load 127.script. check-in: 667edea287 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:41 | Added "/I" after "PiDP-8" references in the initscript check-in: 31ab49e486 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:39 | Fixed a couple of bugs in the recently-reworked initscript check-in: 8ffac8526b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:34 | Installing the script formerly known as pdp.sh as $prefix/bin/pidp8i. Between this and the recent chnage to the installer to put $prefix/bin into the non-root user's PATH, you can now type "pidp8i" to enter the simulator. check-in: d7e04ec845 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:25 | Changed default installation prefix to /opt/pidp8i, partly to address [5a50b2b21e7a] but also so we don't conflict with upstream distro's use of /opt/pidp8. check-in: 95b1f3616b user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 14:16 | Merged the functional contents of install/*.sh into the make install target. check-in: 0b9be72eeb user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 13:09 | Renamed etc/rc.pidp8 to etc/pidp8i-init.in, into which template we substitute the absolute install directory name for much the same reason we just did it for the bootscripts. check-in: 65b1b8269a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 12:55 | Each of the bootscripts that uses ../ paths to find other files in the system now use absolute paths based on the "prefix" value from autosetup, so that it doesn't matter what your CWD is when you start the simulator. check-in: 53537b0268 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 11:34 | Added top-level "make install" target. Closes [b3521c15d6f] check-in: 669621ba0f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:27 | Silenced the new "clean" targets check-in: 2cb32c646f user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:08 | Removed -lrt from LDFLAGS. It's only needed on old Linuxes, which we don't encounter on Raspberry Pi, and it impacts portability to non-Linux OSes. check-in: 10486f1b1a user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 10:05 | Replaced Linux-specific nanosecond-resolution sleep calls with portable alternative, with the best local option determined by autosetup. Closes [13d74235b70a]. check-in: a4aebcb04c user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 09:45 | Replaced the simple Makefile based build system with one based on autosetup, with the following advantages over the prior system: - autodependency generation - better "clean" behavior; added "distclean" target - the serial mod config is now separate from the source code, so mistakes like the one fixed in [a3bd0f7154] don't happen - object files are sequestered in an "obj" subdirectory - scanswitch build is now fully integrated into the main build system; no more recursive Makefiles Partially addresses [b3521c15d6], but there is more in that ticket that this checkin does not provide. check-in: caf26ab564 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:58 | Commented the SERIALSETUP flag setting back out. (Shouldn't have checked it in like that; that's a local change only.) check-in: a3bd0f7154 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 02:33 | Added comments explaining what each of the stock bootscripts does, as well as "echo" messages that send a short explanation of what is happening to the simulator console. Also redefined 7.script in terms of 0.script, so that one is not lead to believe that these two scripts are redundant. The new commenting is especially heavy in these two scripts, as it explains why we need two scripts to provide "one" (actually two!) functions. check-in: 90f8b7c9f9 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
| 01:37 | Added a script for the ASR-33 and added comments to 1.script explaining why they differ, and the conditions required to use the new script instead of 1.script. check-in: 84a0e8d0d8 user: tangent tags: trunk | |
