For some reason these syscalls tend to crash in a basic delete, create,
open, write, close workflow (after the write is finished). I'll look
into using the new gint/fxlib switch to use them safely.
The unload() function is not very relevant for drivers because hardware
state is managed by ctx_save() and ctx_restore() and software state is
managed by underlying drivers when there are dependencies.
For now, it's been replaced with a wait() function that allows drivers
to not be interrupted at any point. It is currently used by the DMA to
wait for ongoing transfers to finish before disabling interrupts (which
would prevent the transfer end from being detected) and switching in and
out of gint.
* Add the gint_switch() function which executes user-provided code from
the system (CASIOWIN) context.
* Added interrupt masks to the core context (should have been there long
ago).
* Added the gint_osmenu() function that switches out of gint to invoke
GetKeyWait() and inject KEY_CTRL_MENU to trigger the main menu. This
uses many CASIOWIN syscalls, but we don't care because gint is unloaded.
Trickery is used to catch the key following the return in the add-in
and/or display a new application frame before GetKeyWait() even finishes
after coming back. This is only available on fx9860g for now.
* Removed any public syscall definition to clear up interfaces.
* Patched the DMA interruption problem in a weird way on fxcg50, a
driver function will be used to do that properly eventually.
* Changed the driver model to save driver contexts in preallocated
spaces instead of on the stack for overall less risk.
* Enabled return-to-menu with the MENU key on fx9860g in getkey().
* Changed the keyboard driver to emit releases before presses, as a
return-to-menu acts as a press+release of different keys in a single
driver frame, which confuses getkey().
* Fixed a really stupid bug in memcpy() that made the function really
not work.
Improvements in the timer driver:
* Expose ETMU modules as SH7705_TMU and SH7305_TMU in <gint/mpu/tmu.h>.
* Remove the timer_t structures, using SH*_ETMU and SH*_TMU instead.
Only interrupt gate entries are left hardcoded.
* Discovered that not only every write to the TCNT or TCR of an ETMU
takes about 1/32k of a second (hinting at registers being powered by
the same clock as the timer), but every write occuring while a previous
write is pending is *lost*. This led to terrible bugs when switching
ETMU contexts too fast in gint_switch().
* Removed an internal timer_address() function.
* Overall simplified the handling of timers and the initialization step.
This is an obvious requirement for the interrupt routine, which was
forgotten and only surfaced when I used a timer callback started with
multiplications in an innocent add-in. r0..r7 are saved automatically,
which leaves pr, gbr, mach et macl susceptible to corruption by the
interrupt handler.
t6k11: use the gint array for variant detection
r61524: use true triple buffering by default
display: define DWIDTH and DHEIGHT
display: add C_RGB(r,g,b) (0 ≤ r,g,b ≤ 31) [fxcg50]
The return code -1 noted in the BFile_FindFirst or BFile_FindNext is
from test, which mean it could be possibles that they are negative
error code from functions failing and not meaning that no file have been
found, to be sure, the value IML_FILEERR_ENUMERATEEND from filebios.h in
the fxlib need to be checked (and maybe defined in gint with a more
meaningful name for user interactivity)
This macro used to protect the declaration of the [vram] variable of
gint. This variable was short to keep drawing functions short but could
clutter the namespace.
That being said, it's even better to just [#define vram gint_vram] if
you need. This change renames the variable to [gint_vram], exposes it
whenever <gint/display.h> is included, and removes the GINT_NEED_VRAM
macro altogether.
This change adds a keydown() function that is synchronized with events,
ie. it returns the key state as seen by previously read events.
It also completely eliminates low-level repeat events, which are not
very meaningul as the keyboard scan frequency goes up (and would be
meaningless if KEYSC interrupts were used), and adapts getkey() by
giving it access to the current driver time through pollevent().
This change adds support for three sections .ilram, .xram and .yram,
along with three macros GILRAM, GXRAM and GYRAM, that can be used to
statically load data to on-chip memory.
The IL memory is unavailable when the processor goes to sleep, causing
any involved DMA transfer to stall. The dma_transfer_wait() normally
sleeps to save battery power, but this causes the whole system to freeze
and never wake up.
This change lets dma_transfer_wait() decide dynamically whether to sleep
or spinlock. There is no concrete improvement over dma_transfer_noint()
when using IL memory, but it makes dma_transfer() fully generic.
Obviously the same goes for X and Y memory.
Currently there seems to be no DMA at all on fx9860g. Further
investigation would be required, because this would be the first major
difference between the SH7305's found in fx9860g and fxcg50 models.
An automated peripheral register discovery strategy might help, but
identifying discovered registers would be non trivial.
Also use the pruning ability of the Makefile to avoid troublesome
ifdef's in the code.
This change introduces two new mechanismes for executing user code when
an exception occurs.
* This first is the custom panic message, which usually displays "System
ERROR". The function that performs this task can now be user-defined.
It is also run in user mode because the exception handler rte's into
it, allowing it to execute any kind of interrupt-inducing task. The
behavior is undefined if this function raises an exception.
* The second is an exception-catching function, which (when set) is
called every time an exception occurs, and is granted the chance of
handling the exception to continue execution normally. It can be used
in various ways, the most primitive of which is recording the
exception and going back. It runs in interrupt mode and must not raise
any kind of exception.
Behave like Basic's Horizontal and Vertical commands. Internal dline()
optimizations are renamed gint_dhline() and gint_dvline().
Also supports ghline() and gvline() in the gray engine.
Optimization cases here are amost negligible due to limiting RAM access
frequencies and the very limited amount of work accomplished in the
functions. Code maintainability is prioritized by using dline().
This change introduces exception handlers that default to a fatal error
with an on-screen description of the exception and some debugging
information.
It also adds the dprint() function as a definitely-needed helper and
removes bootlog_unmapped() by using the exception handler for the fatal
error display. (Also printf() is now required in all gint add-ins; this
is sad, but space is not as much of a constraint as debugging.)
Finally, the exception handler is used to handle an interrupt which is
an exception in practice, the DMA address error. On fx-CG 50, additional
DMA-related information is displayed on the screen. This is left out on
fx-9860G as there is not enough space.
This commit introduces bopti for fxcg50 with the first basic 16-bit
formats. The performance is rather slow, especially for large images,
and will need refinements and/or overclock to be really efficient in
full-screen real-time applications.
This commit introduces bopti for fx-CG 50. Currently the only
interfaces are the bopti_render_{clip,noclip} functions, and the
only supported formats are r5g6b5 and r5g6b5a.
The algorithm for r5g6b5 is optimized to perform longword accesses
using movua.l, whereas the algorithm for r5g6b5a uses plain word
accesses because transparency checks feel more difficult than one
more loop iteration.
These algorithms are still slow for large surfaces and struggle to
keep up 25 FPS in full-screen, so possible improvements with the
DMA should definitely be tested before restorting to overclock.
This change finally introduces gray image rendering with bopti. This
is the final iteration of bopti v2 and certainly the fastest so far.
All four profiles are supported, without change to the format.
This commit introduces three timer driver changes:
* Export the definitions of the timer structures to a detailed header at
<gint/mpu/tmu.h>, and re-use them in the driver.
This integration is still limited as the driver keeps its own address
definitions and event codes.
* Clean the timer stop routine that is used in the interrupt handler. Up
until now the interrupt handler would only stop TSTR, which is not
enough to cleanly leave the timer (need TCOR=TCNT=-1) and is not even
sound with respect to gint's semantics as UNIE stays enabled so the
timer is not made available again.
The interrupt handler now calls into C code when the timer stop
condition is met (callback returns non-zero) to keep this clean. This
unsurprisingly solves problems that occurred in certain situations
when a timer was used repeatedly.
* Expose timer addresses using a timer_address() function, compensating
for the lack of address definitions in <gint/mpu/tmu.h>. This
interface is likely to evolve in the future to better integrate the
address in the MPU headers and move them out of the driver.
This makes it possible to write application code without specifying the
target machine, which is especially useful for libraries. The first user
of this system is libprof.
Since Memallox's newlib port is currently unstable, gint has to
provide some standard functions on its own. Instead of a single
<gint/std.h> header, this commit makes a gint/std directory containing
headers under standard names.
* Now uses topti instead of fxlib for text (including MMU failure)
* Fit .pretext into 4k for everything before MMU succeeds
* A short version of sprintf() for dynamic messages
* Support a driver function, status(), to allow early driver debug
* Expose more useful platform information in <gint/mpu.h>
* Expose the first of a few CASIOWIN syscalls
