GitLab

SystemName, ROMSizeOffset, HAL32, HAL26 only used here, moved here.
Remove uses of "M_" booleans, apparently that's bad form.
Fix SWIDespatch_Size for the non thumb capable case (was ASSERTing).
Swapped UserMemStart for AppSpaceStart.
Removed last use of OldComboSupport (pre Medusa!).
Removed switch 'CDVPoduleIRQs', a correction to the machine definitions mean this can now simply be switched on NumberOfPodules (previously, IOMD couldn't chain podule interrupts).
Take out disabled sub interrupt support - it's in CVS if you want to try to get it working.
Moved ConfiguredLang to 11 for everyone, it only matters if !Boot fails, and no harm in making it common for 5.xx onwards.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.183. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_183'

Detail:
  s/Middle - Added OS_ReadSysInfo 13 to allow the kernel to validate a key handler before the owner attempts to install it
  Resources/UK/Messages - Text for new "Bad key handler" error
  s/GetAll, s/PMF/Def - Get rid of now obsolete s/PMF/Def file. It only contained definitions for pre-HAL hardware, and for the key handler layout (now in Hdr:Keyboard)
  hdr/KeyWS - Increased size of KeysDown array so it can hold 768 keys instead of 160. Trim a couple of obsolete variables, and increase CurrKey/OldKey from 1 byte to 4 bytes.
  s/PMF/key, s/PMF/osbyte - Main bulk of the changes for the new key handling. All the important interfaces are now able to deal with extended (i.e. > 8 bit) internal key numbers, and the kernel is able to cope with key handlers which use 16 bit internal/low level key numbers instead of 8 bit.

  Tested on Pandora & BB-xM
  Requires HdrSrc-2_20


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.178. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_178'

Detail:
  hdr/HALEntries - Brought in line with RPi branch, plus addition of new HAL_UARTDefault HAL entry, to allow DualSerial to determine which (if any) of the HAL UARTs should be the default UART accessed via OS_SerialOp
  s/GetAll - Add GET of Hdr:SerialOp
  s/PMF/osbyte - Use OS_SerialOp 10 when constructing filename to open for OS_Byte 2
Admin:
  Tested in OMAP3, Tungsten ROMs


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.152. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_152'

The kernel already looks after all other aspects of the ARM CPU, so can look after the cache control command too.
 HelpStrs.s:New tokens for help and syntax
 CmdHelp.s:UK help and syntax
 Arthur3.s:Tables updates for *CONFIGURE/STATUS, lined some stuff up, default error text sync'd with Hdr:NewErrors
 MoreComms.s:Parsing and doing of *CACHE
 Utility.s:Hashing table updated for *CACHE
Other minor changes

 Offset of TutuCMOS changed for more informative PrintSoundCMOS
 PMF/osbyte.s:Use OsBytes header file in place of MainVars

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.151. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_151'

While the HAL and kernel were being split some temporary macros were used for the bits being worked on, after 12 years of use they're probably safe to adopt.
mjsCallHAL -> CallHAL; mjsAddressHAL -> AddressHAL; mjsHAL -> HAL.
OS_VIDCDividerSWI code now always does NoSuchSWI (had been switched out previously).
File vduhint.s no longer assembled (was empty).


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.150. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_150'

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.134. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_134'

Export less in hdr:RISCOS.
Delete unused GetDecimalPair routine.
Move CheckYear with other RTC stuff out of PMF/osword.
Hide DebugROMInit and DebugROMErrors in release (even numbered) versions.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.127. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_127'

Implement OS_ConvertVariform, internally the other conversions now just call it.
Add tester for Variform to 'Dev'.
Made block copy weirdness for XScale dependent on XScale arch flag.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.126. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_126'

Delete pmf/convdate, moved to conversions.
Moved OS_BinaryToDecimal to conversions.
Remove OS_ConvertHex16 and friends.
Add OS_ConvertVariform skeleton.
Tidied conversions.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.125. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_125'

Detail:
  Makefile - Now exports a C version of hdr.OSEntries, for use by the new HAL USB drivers
  s/GetAll, s/Kernel - The HALSize env variable is now used in place of hard-coded values for the HAL size
  s/HAL - Reset_IRQ_Handler now switches to SVC mode before calling HAL_KbdScanInterrupt, to allow the HAL USB drivers to re-enable interrupts if they wish.
  s/VMSAv6 - Deleted some obsolete definitions
Admin:
  Tested on rev C2 BB, A2 BB-xM, C1 TouchBook
  Needs latest BuildSys, Env, HdrSrc


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.37. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_37'

Detail:
  Hdr:Macros has just been changed on the trunk in such a way that you now
  need to include Hdr:CPU.Arch as well. Previously this include file was only
  referenced by the Cortex branch kernel - now mirrored on the HAL branch
  kernel too.
Admin:
  Verified that IOMD ROM now builds again - should fix Tungsten ROM build too.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.105. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_105'

Detail:
  HAL kernels (on the Cortex branch at least) now support HALDevice-based RTCs. If the kernels own RTC code is disabled or fails to detect an RTC, then after HAL_InitDevices is called the HALDevice list will be scanned for any HAL-resident RTC devices.
  Additionally, the RTCSupport flag (in Hdr:Machine.Machine), which was previously TRUE for all HAL kernels, can now be set to FALSE in HAL kernels to disable the kernels own IIC RTC code. This allows the unwanted legacy RTC code to be disabled for machines which are known to use HAL RTCs instead.
  hdr/RTCDevice - new header describing data structures used for HAL RTC device
  hdr/HALDevice - added RTCDevice device type, IIC serial bus type
  hdr/KernelWS - upgraded RTCFitted from a 1 byte field to 4 byte. It now stores either a null value (for no RTC), a value <2048 for an IIC RTC address, or a value >= 2048 for a RTCDevice ptr
  Makefile - added header export of hdr/RTCDevice
  s/GetAll - include hdr/RTCDevice
  s/NewReset - initialise HAL RTC after HAL_InitDevices if required
  s/PMF/i2cutils, s/PMF/osinit, s/PMF/osword - modifications to allow use of HAL RTC (and disallow use of builtin IIC RTC)
Admin:
  Tested on rev C2 beagleboard


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.11. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_11'

Detail:
  Having scanned the kernel source for unaligned load code fragments which
  would abort on ARMv6 and v7 and not having found any, I took the opportunity
  to give them build-time switches to use unaligned LDR((S)H)/STR(H)
  instructions if built for a new enough platform. Also added a couple of
  cases of LDRSB that will benefit v4 CPUs and a few instances of the v6
  SXTH instruction, but since objasm doesn't yet understand it (and when it
  does, not everyone will have upgraded) they are currently written as
  DCI statements.
  Most of the changes are to OS_Word handlers, which are notorious in that
  their input/output block is not word-aligned.
Admin:
  Not tested, but it should at least build.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.6. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_6'

Detail:
  Lots of changes since last version, at least the following:
  * Updated OS timestamp, removed alpha status
  * Negative INKEY OS version changed to &AA
  * GraphicsV is now alocated vector number &2A
  * ROM moved up to &FC000000
  * Max application slot increased to 512 Mbytes (for now)
  * Max size of RMA increased to 256 Mbytes
  * RMA is now first-created dynamic area (so it gets lowest address after
    top of application slot)
  * OS_Memory 10 reimplemeted
  * New OS_ReadSysInfo 6 values 18-22 added
  * OS_ReadSysInfo 8 gains flag bit to indicate soft power-off
  * Misc internal top-bit-set-address fixes
  * *ChangeDynamicArea can take sizes in megabytes or gigabytes
  * Magic word "&off" in R0 passed to OS_Reset powers down if possible
  * Added acceleration: block copy; CLS; text window scroll up; rectangle
    fill
  * Disabled LED flashing in page mode (liable to crash)
  * Masked sprite plot and VDU 5 text avoids reading the screen if poss...

Detail:
  * Implemented OS_Hardware 2, 3 and 4 as described in Docs.HAL.NewAPI.
  * Added new OS->HAL and HAL->OS routines to register HAL devices with the
    OS during hard resets.
  * Updated Docs.HAL.NewAPI to correct inconsistencies, fill in missing
    definitions, and allow for interrupt sharing.
  * Now uses OS_LeaveOS to trigger callbacks after ROM module init.
Admin:
  Untested. Requires new HAL.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.49. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_49'

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.48. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_48'

Detail:
    The Kernel now sets "ProtectStationID" on the basis of the Embedded_UI
flag, rather than the STB flag, so you're able to set the bottom byte of your
IP address in IPConfig.

Admin:
    Untested.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.46. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_46'

Check-in of the few last-minute changes for the Customer L demo. Nothing exciting, apart from an extended touchscreen API.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.13. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_13'

More stuff. Up to the desktop now; cache on, working keyboard. Some source restructuring to start to make splitting it up into several object files more feasible.

Imported from Kernel 5.36.

partial video changes for kernel/HAL split near-HAL code for VIDC/IOMD in vdu.vduhint briefly tested in Ursula desktop build still some kernel workspace dependency in near-HAL code

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.3. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_3'

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.2. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_2'

* Added ARM_IMB and ARM_IMBRange SWIs as recommended by ARMv5.
* Some early prototype HAL bits popped in - a lot of source restructuring still
  to come.
* New debug target creates an AIF image with debug information, and translates
  this into an ASCII object file for the 16702B logic analyser.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.1. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_1'

  Removed DriversInKernel conditional.
Detail:
  If the territory changes or the resource file changes, the kernel
    will now decache all the cached error blocks so that next time
    they are required, they will be looked up again.
  The error cacheing is now a kernel build option and is always set
    to on.
  Removed one of the 5 error messages to be cached - it never seems
    to happen.  The remaining 4 are more frequent.
Admin:
  Tested in Ursula build.
  Cannot be used with HdrSrc 0.94.  HdrSrc 0.95 and later is required
    (or HdrSrc 0.93 and earlier subject to other kernel requirements)
  Requires MessageTrans 0.42 or later for correct operation when a
    replacement messages file is loaded.

Version 5.32. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_32'

Detail:
	It is often the case that modules fail on receipt of a PostInit
cervice call. The Kernel already has an option to display debugging on module
initialisation (DebugROMInit), but this does not help if a module crashes
during the PostInit stage.
	To aid debugging of the PostInit stage of module initialisation, a
new flag (DebugROMPostInit) has been added to the vanilla service call
handler. This flag displays the name of each module that the PostInit is
being dispatched to, and then displays whether control has passed back to the
kernel. Hence crashes of a module during PostInit can be detected.

Admin:
	Note that this debug option only works in the vanilla service call
handler. If your build uses the chocolate handler and you wish to debug
PostInit of modules, then set it temporarilly to use vanilla handlers.
	Tested in Lazarus builds both with and without the option switched.

Version 5.26. Not tagged

  RPCEm update.
* Register allocation in default ErrorV handler fixed - problems occured when
  callbacks were triggered on way out.
* OS_Byte 19 didn't manipulate interrupt disable flag correctly in 26-bit
  builds.
* Stray bit of debugging left in sprite code many years ago removed.

Version 5.23. Not tagged

Details:
  The Kernel will now compile to produce a pure 32-bit system if No26bitCode is
  set to TRUE.
  If No26bitCode is FALSE, then the Kernel will be a standard 26-bit Kernel,
  although some internal changes have taken place to minimise compile
  switches between the two cases. See Docs.32bit for more technical info.

  The hardest part was the flood-fill...

Other changes:
  Pointer shape changes now take place on the next VSync, rather than actually
  WAITING for the VSync. Turning the Hourglass on shouldn't slow your machine
  down by 5% now :)

  Lots of really crusty pre-IOMD code removed.

Admin:
  Tested in 32 and 26-bit forms in a limited desktop build. Basically, this
  will need to see a lot of use to iron out difficulties. I'd like anyone who
  has a non-frozen project to at least attempt using this Kernel.

Version 5.23. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_23'

Right arrow on a remote also acts as Delete.

Version 4.98. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_98'

Kernel now uses PortManager to set TV_Mode GPIO line, and updates it on every mode change, rather than doing it once based on the monitor lead ID.

Requires PortManager, and required if PortManager is present.

Version 4.92. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_92'

Doesn't force CMOS setting of sync and monitortype on NCs/STBs.
Accepts HClockSelect parameter (number 9) in VIDC lists. Uses this to
determine whether to use HCLK or not, rather than abusing
Service_MonitorLeadTranslation.
If DontUseVCO flag is set, then VCLK will not be used - only RCLK (or HCLK if
requested).

Version 4.86. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_86'

Version 4.84. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_84'

Version 4.83. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_83'

* Integrated Ursula fast service call dispatch code.
* Added Interruptible32bitModes from Ursula.
* Stopped allowing ROM modules (other than the Kernel/UtilityModule) to write
  to the hardware vectors in 26-bit mode.

Version 4.81. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_81'

Version 4.72. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_72'

ROM speed not taken from the Machine header file.  POST can now exist in a softloaded OS, since it searches for a zero word in the ROM instead of using one within the POST when trying to communicate with the POST adapter (the zero word must be in ROM).  Fixed to build on non-chrontel STB/NC products.  Lots of duplicate code merged in

MemSize.  MemSize copes better with the softload case, and is less
willing to use the region the OS occupies as video memory, or
page tables.  POST is now ON (memory tests disabled).
OS_ReadSysInfo 4 now uses the NVRAM module to access the ethernet
address in NVRAM/CMOS, so that the availability/location of the
MAC address can be changed.  CMOS location 0 is now unprotected on
STB/NC products to try to stop people poking the hardware directly.
Fixed a CMOS resetting problem on STBs where the value expected in a
location was different from the value written on a CMOS reset, so the
CMOS would be reset every time...

Version 4.69. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_69'

CPU type messages internationalised.
"Unknown OS_PlatformFeatures reason code" internationalised.
RunningOnEmul flag tweaked.
MorrisIDString conditional removed.
New modules added to SWI list at the end of the chain, on grounds that
the first-registered modules are probably more important.
*ChangeDynamicArea moved into UtilityModule from TaskManager.

Version 4.65. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_65'

Bandwidth limit for 7500FE fixed.
RO371Timings flag set to :LNOT:STB

Version 4.64. Tagged as 'Kernel-4_64'
