Version 5.49. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_49'

Detail:
  s/Kernel - Add macro for CLREX, which uses a dummy STREX on basic ARMv6 machines. Clear the exclusive monitor after issuing transient callbacks, to cope with callbacks being triggered on exit from IRQ
  s/ArthurSWIs, s/HAL, s/NewIRQs - Clear the exclusive monitor on exit from IRQ handlers & default FIQ handler
  s/VMSAv6 - Clear the exclusive monitor on entry to the data abort pre-veneer
Admin:
  Tested on Raspberry Pi
  Non-transient callback handlers, custom abort handlers, FIQ handlers, and anything else which returns directly to interrupted user code is responsible for issuing its own CLREX if the code has done something that could have left the local monitor in the exclusive state (e.g. calling a SWI counts towards this, as there's no guarantee the monitor will be open on exit from the SWI)


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.327. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_327'

The only function to use the abandoned extensions to OS_ClaimDeviceVector, the 2nd & 3rd members of the structure never got used.
Change uses of HAL_IICDevice to pass in the bus, and expect the device number back.
Docs updated accordingly.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.218. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_218'

Detail:
  This set of changes:
  * Adds basic support for multiple GraphicsV drivers, by way of some new OS_ScreenMode reason codes for registering/deregistering, selecting and enumerating drivers (11, 64-68)
  * Tidies up handling of HAL video calls so that the HAL calls will be transformed into a bona fide GraphicsV driver if they're implemented
  * Changes handling of 16bpp gamma table entries so that they're sent to GraphicsV in a generic form instead of in a VIDC-specific form
  * Adds a new GraphicsV call and defines new VIDC list items to allow GraphicsV drivers to utilise the new pixel formats
  File changes:
  * h/VIDCList, hdr/VIDCList, Makefile - Add new header export containing VIDC list type 3 definitions, to avoid repeated definitions in other components
  * Resources/UK/Messages - Add new GraphicsV/OS_ScreenMode error strings and some missing processor type strings
  * hdr/KernelWS - Clean up some pre-GraphicsV definitions, and add new workspace locations for storing the current GraphicsV driver number and the driver list
  * hdr/Options - Remove obsolete InverseTextTransparency option
  * hdr/VduExt - Add VDU variable 192 for storing GraphicsV driver number (same as ROL's VideoV driver number). Remove old 'Flag_*' mode flag definitions (use new 'ModeFlag_*' defintions instead). Add new OS_ScreenMode reason codes.
  * s/ARM600, s/VMSAv6, s/vdu/vdu23, s/vdu/vdugrafa, s/vdu/vdugrafd, s/vdu/vdupalxx, s/vdu/vdupointer, s/vdu/vduwrch - Strip out pre-GraphicsV code. Update GraphicsV code to use correct driver number.
  * s/ArthurSWIs - Pass the default GraphicsV claimant the VduDriverWorkSpace instead of ZeroPage
  * s/Getall - Add Hdr:VIDCList and s/vdu/VduGrafHAL to list of GETs
  * s/NewIRQs - Remove HAL VSync IRQ initialisation, is now handled by grafvhal. Remove old HAL VsyncIRQ entry point, all VSyncs are now handled by VsyncIRQ_ExtEntry.
  * s/PMF/osbyte - Stop OS_Byte 19 waiting forever if no video driver is active
  * s/PMF/osinit - Remove HAL VSync IRQ initialisation, is now handled by grafvhal
  * s/vdu/vducursoft - Use new workspace variable names and flag names
  * s/vdu/vdudecl - Remove old HALDAG_* definitions, GVDAG_* definitions are used instead. Add definition of the per-driver workspace structure and flags.
  * s/vdu/vdudriver - Remove pre-GraphicsV code. Update InitialiseMode to check for and initialise a HAL driver. Use cached driver features word in a few places instead of calling GraphicsV each time. Update PalIndexTable to disable VIDC mangling of 16bpp gamma tables.
  * s/vdu/vdugrafv, s/vdu/vdugrafhal - HAL<->GraphicsV code split off into its own file (vdugrafhal). Default GraphicsV claimant now only deals with VSync events for the active driver.
  * s/vdu/vdumodes - Get rid of old VIDC List type 3 definiton; now in hdr/VIDCList
  * s/vdu/vduswis - Added OS_ScreenMode reason codes 11 and 64-68 for registering, deregistering, selecting and enumerating GraphicsV drivers. Update mode set code to not bother checking if the driver supports the pixel format; instead we assume that the driver's vet mode call will do the check for us.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.201. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_201'

Not tagged.

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'

Add new HAL call, HAL_IRQMax, to allow the kernel to determine the number of IRQ lines/devices at runtime

Detail:
  hdr/HALEntries - Reuse the old HAL_MonitorLeadID call number for HAL_IRQMax
  hdr/KernelWS - Rearrange CursorChunkAddress workspace a bit. Removed unused OldOscliBuffs and a couple of pre-HAL allocations, and made DefIRQ1Vspace the same size for all build configs. Add an IRQMax var to zero page workspace to cache the value returned by HAL_IRQMax.
  s/HAL - Initialise IRQMax shortly after HAL initialisation. Revise ClearPhysRAM comment to reflect which vars are preserved in the current version of the code.
  s/NewIRQs - Strip out a fair bit of pre-HAL code to make the file more readable. Update OS_ClaimDeviceVector/OS_ReleaseDeviceVector to check against IRQMax instead of the MaxInterrupts compile-time limit.
Admin:
  Tested on BB-xM, Iyonix, RiscPC, Pi
  Although the OS will now nominally adapt at runtime to how many IRQ devices there are, it's still using MaxInterrupts as an upper limit as the device claimant table has a fixed memory allocation.


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.182. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_182'

Detail:
  Docs/RPiNotes - Deleted, contents no longer relevant
  s/HAL, s/Kernel, s/vdu/vduswis, s/pmf/key - Cleaned up debug code
  s/NewIRQs - No need to piggy back on timer 0 IRQ to generate a fake VSync; PushModeInfo already claims/releases TickerV as appropriate if video driver doesn't provide a VSync IRQ.
  s/NewReset - Re-enable LookForHALRTC call, the stack imbalance bug was fixed before the Pi changes were merged in
  s/vdu/vducursoft - Streamline PostWrchCursor a bit by only preserving R14 around RestorePointer if the software pointer is in use
  s/vdu/vdudriver - Amend ModeChangeSub improvements to ensure old external framestore handling logic is used if driver doesn't support framestore growth/realloc
Admin:
  Tested on Raspberry Pi with high processor vectors
  Kernel now looks to be in a good state for merging back into HAL branch
  Note - Software mouse pointer support in vducursoft only checks HALVideoFeatures, so doesn't take into account the capabilities of any GraphicsV driver that may be in use.


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.147.2.20. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_147_2_20'

Detail:
  An undocumented entry condition of TickOne is that r0 contains the device
  number corresponding to Timer0. This must be passed to HAL_IRQClear on
  some platforms.
Admin:
  Tested only on a Raspberry Pi. Also added enumeration of entry numbers in
  comments in Hdr:HALEntries - a handy reference when debugging from the
  command line!

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.147.2.1. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_147_2_1'

Detail:
  hdr/OSEntries, s/HAL, s/Kernel - Add compressed ROM support.
  With the current scheme, a compressed ROM will have everything except the HAL and kernel compressed.
  During the keyboard scan period the kernel will allocate some temporary decompression workspace and call the decompression stub that was appended to the ROM.
  The decompression stub is expected to perform in-place decompression of the ROM. Once decompression is complete the workspace will be freed and the page tables updated to make the ROM image readonly.
  It's the HAL's responsibility to make sure any compressed ROM is located in an area of physically contiguous RAM large enough to hold the uncompressed image.
  More info here: http://www.riscosopen.org/wiki/documentation/show/Compressed%20ROMs
  Makefile, h/OSEntries - Add C export of hdr/OSEntries
  hdr/HALDevice - Add device ID for Tungsten video device. Convert tabs to spaces for consistency.
  hdr/HALEntries, s/NewReset - Moved KbdFlag_* definitions to hdr/HALEntries so HALs can use them in their keyboard scan code
  s/ArthurSWIs, S/HAL, s/HeapSort, s/Kernel, s/MemInfo, s/Middle, s/NewIRQs, s/TickEvents, s/vdu/vdugrafb - Make use of BLX, BFI and long multiplies if the CPU supports them. Don't support SWI calls from thumb mode if the CPU doesn't support thumb.
  s/HAL - Made the LDMIA in Init_MapInRAM more sensible (register order was backwards). The old code did work, but wasn't doing what the comments described. Removed unused/unfinished HAL_Write0 function. Improve RISCOS_LogToPhys to check L1PT for any section mappings if the logical_to_physical call fails
  s/ModHand - Save one instruction by using ADR instead of MOV+ADD to compute lr
  s/NewReset, s/PMF/key - Pass L1PT to HAL_Reset to allow machines without hardware reset (e.g. IOMD) to perform resets by manually disabling the MMU and restarting the ROM
  s/vdu/vdudriver, s/vdu/vdugrafv - Use GVEntry macro borrowed from NVidia module for setting up the GraphicsV jump table. Make GraphicsV_ReadPaletteEntry call HAL_Video_ReadPaletteEntry if left unclaimed. Fixup GV_Render to only call HAL_Video_Render if the HAL call is implemented.
Admin:
  Tested with OMAP3, IOMD & Tungsten ROMs/softloads.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.50. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_50'

Detail:
  A whole mass of changes to add high processor vectors + zero page relocation support to the Cortex branch of the kernel
  At the moment the code can only cope with two ZeroPage locations, &0 and &FFFF0000. But with a bit more tweaking those restrictions can probably be lifted, allowing ZeroPage to be hidden at almost any address (assuming it's fixed at compile time). If I've done my job right, these restrictions should all be enforced by asserts.
  There's a new option, HiProcVecs, in hdr/Options to control whether high processor vectors are used. When enabling it and building a ROM, remember:
  * FPEmulator needs to be built with the FPEAnchor=High option specified in the components file (not FPEAnchorType=High as my FPEmulator commit comments suggested)
  * ShareFS needs unplugging/removing since it can't cope with it yet
  * Iyonix users will need to use the latest ROOL boot sequence, to ensure the softloaded modules are compatible (OMAP, etc. don't really softload much so they're OK with older sequences)
  * However VProtect also needs patching to fix a nasty bug there - http://www.riscosopen.org/tracker/tickets/294
  The only other notable thing I can think of is that the ProcessTransfer code in s/ARM600 & s/VMSAv6 is disabled if high processor vectors are in use (it's fairly safe to say that code is obsolete in HAL builds anyway?)
  Fun challenge for my successor: Try setting ZeroPage to &FFFF00FF (or similar) so its value can be loaded with MVN instead of LDR. Then use positive/negative address offsets to access the contents.
  File changes:
  - hdr/ARMops - Modified ARMop macro to take the ZeroPage pointer as a parameter instead of 'zero'
  - hdr/Copro15ops - Corrected $quick handling in myISB macro
  - hdr/Options - Added ideal setting for us to use for HiProcVecs
  - s/AMBControl/allocate, s/AMBControl/growp, s/AMBControl/mapslot, s/AMBControl/memmap, s/AMBControl/service, s/AMBControl/shrinkp, s/Arthur2, s/Arthur3, s/ArthurSWIs, s/ChangeDyn, s/ExtraSWIs, s/HAL, s/HeapMan, s/Kernel, s/MemInfo, s/Middle, s/ModHand, s/MoreSWIs, s/MsgCode, s/NewIRQs, s/NewReset, s/Oscli, s/PMF/buffer, s/PMF/IIC, s/PMF/i2cutils, s/PMF/key, s/PMF/mouse, s/PMF/osbyte, s/PMF/oseven, s/PMF/osinit, s/PMF/osword, s/PMF/oswrch, s/SWINaming, s/Super1, s/SysComms, s/TickEvents, s/Utility, s/vdu/vdu23, s/vdu/vdudriver, s/vdu/vdugrafl, s/vdu/vdugrafv, s/vdu/vdupalxx, s/vdu/vdupointer, s/vdu/vduswis, s/vdu/vduwrch - Lots of updates to deal with zero page relocation
  - s/ARM600 - UseProcessTransfer option. Zero page relocation support. Deleted pre-HAL ClearPhysRAM code to tidy the file up a bit.
  - s/ARMops - Zero page relocation support. Set CPUFlag_HiProcVecs when high vectors are in use.
  - s/KbdResPC - Disable compilation of dead code
  - s/VMSAv6 - UseProcessTransfer option. Zero page relocation support.
Admin:
  Tested with OMAP & Iyonix ROM softloads, both with high & low zero page.
  High zero page hasn't had extensive testing, but boot sequence + ROM apps seem to work.


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.48. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_48'

Detail:
  OS_IICOp (and in turn, RISCOS_IICOpV) now treat the top byte of R1 as containing the IIC bus number, allowing multiple buses to be used.
  hdr/KernelWS - Changed workspace a bit so that the kernel can support up to IICBus_Count buses (currently 3), each with its own IICBus_* block.
  s/HAL - Update Reset_IRQ_Handler to cope with interrupts from all IIC buses instead of just the first. Fix/update RISCOS_IICOpV description.
  s/NewIRQs - Update InitialiseIRQ1Vtable to set up interrupt handlers for all IRQ-supporting IIC buses
  s/NewReset - Get rid of the IICAbort call that was just before IICInit. IICInit now calls IICAbort itself.
  s/PMF/IIC - Bulk of the changes. Code now uses the IICBus_ structures instead of the IICStatus and IICType variables. Re-entrancy code has been updated to take into account the possiblity of multiple buses; when OS_IICOp calls are nested, the IIC transfers will be added to bus-specific queues instead of all going in the same queue. However only one queue will be processed at a time.
  s/ChangeDyn - Workspace shuffling means a couple of MOV's needed to be swapped with LDR's when getting immediate constants
Admin:
  Tested with OMAP & IOMD ROM builds.
  Both high & low-level bus types seem to work OK, along with re-entrancy, both on the same bus and on a different bus.


Version 5.35, 4.79.2.98.2.33. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_98_2_33'

Detail:
  hdr/ARMops - Added Cortex_A8 processor type, new ARM architecture number
  hdr/Options - Enabled various kernel debug options
  s/ARMops - Added Cortex-A8/OMAP3530 to known CPUs list. Ignore cache type register for ARM architecture &F.
  s/NewIRQs - Increase MaxInterrupts to 96

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.81. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_81'

Detail:
  Previously, UnthreadV was only called when the IRQsema chain was empty, the
  link for the just-completed interrupt having just been removed. However,
  the information in the link is necessary to allow OS_Heap to be called from
  UnthreadV context, and patching up IRQsema within the UnthreadV handler
  prevents the implementation of a prioritised threading scheme. As a result,
  we must call UnthreadV every time the interrupt dispatch unthreads, and
  leave it up to the UnthreadV handler to distinguish between return to
  thread context and return from a nested interrupt handler.
Admin:
  Will require some sort of patch to enable heap-safe prioritised threading
  on RISC OS-STB 5.0.0 or RISC OS 5.07, the only two released OSes with the
  previous UnthreadV behaviour.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.77. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_77'

* Added use of CDVPoduleIRQs (from Hdr:Machine)
* Fixed checksum corruption in OS_NVMemory block writes ending just below
  the checksum byte.
* Fixed R4 corruption by OS_Byte 162 with certain HALs.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.71. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_71'

Added UnthreadV (vector &2B). Called near the end of despatch of the outermost interrupt, in IRQ32/26 mode with IRQs disabled, just before transient and non-transient callback checking is performed. Suitable for implementing a CBAI replacement.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.69. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_69'

  [Not fully implemented - for now leaves at least 16MB free if only
  one RAM area; was 1MB].
* Added HAL_USBControllerInfo, HAL_MonitorLeadID and HAL_Video_Render.
* Added HAL->OS call OS_IICOpV.
* OS_MMUControl now allows independent control of I and C bits.
* Added facility to deactivate keyboard debounce (magic word "NoKd" in
  R2 in KeyV 0).
* Fixed problem with RAM amounts not a multiple of 4MB.
* Supremacy bit (in VDU 19) now sets all 8 bits of supremacy.
* Added PaletteV 14 (reads gamma tables).
* Added Supremacy transfer functions (like gamma correction, but for
  supremacy). Allows easy global supremacy effects in a mode-independent
  fashion. Controlled with PaletteV 15,16.
* Added modes 50-53 (320x240, 1,2,4,8bpp). Intended for small LCD.
* Added 13.5kHz versions of TV modes (selected by Hdr:Machine).
* Upped desktop version to 5.06.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.66. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_66'

Detail:
  * Merged in the change to RISC OS 4.02 kernel that moved the GSTrans
    workspace out of scratch space.
  * Fixed a few bugs in callback postponement, and interrupt holes in
    callback dispatch. See Docs.CallbackChange for full info.
  * Fixed SystemSizeCMOS to SysHeapCMOS - wouldn't build as was.
  * Added an export of a C version of Hdr:HALDevice, based on the Hdr2H
    translation but with an additional struct definition. Required by
    SoundControl 1.00.
  * Added some additional location and ID allocations to Hdr:HALDevice.
    Required by today's HAL and SoundControl.
Admin:
  Partially tested.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.56. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_56'

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

  * 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 possible
  * Framestore made USR mode accessible
  * Fix for VDU 5,127 bug - now relies on font definitions being in extreme
    quarters of memory, rather than bottom half
  * Allocated 64-bit OS_Convert... SWIs
  * IIC errors use allocated error numbers
  * Looks for Dallas RTC before Philips RTC because we're using a Philips
    NVRAM device with the same ID
  * Fix to bug that meant the oscillator in the Dallas RTC wasn't enabled
  * Default mouse type (USB) changed to allocated number
  * Ram disc max size increased to 128 Mbytes (Ursula merge) and made
    cacheable for StrongARMs (not XScale)
  * Branch through zero handler now works in USR mode, by use of a
    trampoline in the system stack to allow PC-relative register storage
  * Address exception handler changed to not use 0 as workspace
  * OS_Memory 13 extended to allow specification of cacheability and access
    privileges
  * Added OS_Memory 16 to return important memory addresses
  * RISCOS_MapInIO() takes cacheable flag in bit 3, access permissions in
    bits 10 and 11, doubly-mapped flag in bit 20, and access permissions
    specified flag in bit 21
  * Bug fix in last version for application abort handlers didn't quite
    work; register shuffle required
  * "Module is not 32-bit compatible" error now reports the module name
  * Default configured language changed from 10 to 11 (now Desktop again)

Ursula. Quite a hairy code merge really, so let's hope it is
worth it to someone. What you get (back after 2 or 3 years):
- much more efficient for largish numbers of DAs (relevance
  to current build = approx 0)
- fancy reason codes to support fast update of
  Switcher bar display (relevance = 0)
- support for clamped maximum area sizes, to avoid address
  space exhaustion with big memory (relevance = 0)
- better implementation of shrinkable DAs, performance
  wise (if lots of DAs, relevance = approx 0)
- support for 'Sparse' DAs. Holey dynamic areas, Batman!
  (relevance, go on someone use the darned things)
Moderately development tested on HAL/32bit ARM9 desktop.
Note the Switcher should be compiled to use the new
reason codes 6&7, for fabled desktop builds.

Also, during this work, so I could see the wood for the
trees, redid some source code clean up, removing pre-Medusa
stuff (like I did about 3 years ago on Ursula, sigh). That's
why loads of source files have changed. The new DA stuff
is confined pretty much to hdr.KernelWS and s.ChangeDyn.

Ta.

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.38. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_38'

  Optimised the default IrqV handler.
Detail:
  * OS_ReadSysInfo 6 tells grubby programs lots of grubby info. This
    has been extended to include:

      18 - relocated base of OS SWI despatch table
      19 - relocated base of IRQ device head nodes
      20 - relocated end of IRQ device head nodes
      21 - top of the IRQ stack

    These values are known to be useful for debugging purposes.

  * The default IrqV handler gets the device number times three on
    entry in R0. It then went through a loop subtracting three and
    incrementing a counter to divide by three.

    This has been replaced by four ARM instructions which should
    give the same results (three to divide by three and one to set
    R0 to zero - as the old code did).

    If the device number is outside the range 0..31, the new code
    may produce inaccurate results, but this should not happen.

  Not tested ;)

It says "Abort on data transfer".

Version 5.35, 4.79.2.5. Tagged as 'Kernel-5_35-4_79_2_5'

* 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'

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'

Detail:
  Most of the centisecond timers were incremented very early in the Timer0
  interrupt routine, but MetroGnome was incremented after we had called
  TickerV. Routines on TickerV are allowed to enable interrupts, so any
  interrupt routines that use OS_ReadMonotonicTime and IRQRQA are unable to
  accurately determine if the monotonic time is one tick out-of-date or not.
  MetroGnome is now incremented with the other timers.
Admin:
  Tested with the timer code in STB-400 MPEGDriver.
