- Summary
|
| 66 |
11 |
wfjm |
- Introduce C++ and Tcl based backend server. A set of C++ classes provide
|
| 67 |
|
|
the basic rlink communication promitives. Additional glue classes provide
|
| 68 |
|
|
a Tcl binding. This first phase contains the basic functionality needed
|
| 69 |
|
|
to control simple test benches.
|
| 70 |
|
|
- add an 'rlink exerciser' (tst_rlink) and a top level design for a Nexys2
|
| 71 |
|
|
board (sys_tst_rlink_n2) and a test suite implemented in Tcl.
|
| 72 |
|
|
|
| 73 |
|
|
- Note: No functional changes in w11a core and I/O system at this point!
|
| 74 |
|
|
The w11a demonstrator systems are still operated with the old
|
| 75 |
|
|
backend code (pi_rri).

|
- Summary
|
| 185 |
11 |
wfjm |

|
|
- Changes
|
| 190 |
|
|
- module renames:
|
| 191 |
8 |
wfjm |
- in future 'box' is used for large autonomous blocks, therefore use
|
| 192 |
|
|
the term unit for purely sequential logic modules:
|
| 193 |
|
|
pdp11_abox -> pdp11_ounit
|
| 194 |
|
|
pdp11_dbox -> pdp11_aunit
|
| 195 |
|
|
pdp11_lbox -> pdp11_lunit

wfjm |
|
| 198 |
8 |
wfjm |

| 199 |
|
|
- renamed RRI_LAM -> RB_LAM in all ibus devices

|
| 203 |
|
|
- in ib_mreq use now aval,re,we,rmw instead of req,we,dip

|
|
- basic ibus transaction now takes 2 cycles, one for address select, one
|
| 205 |
9 |
wfjm |
for data exchange. This avoids too long logic paths in the ibus logic.
