  - Summary
 
    - Many small changes to prepare upcoming support for
 
      - Spartan-6 boards (nexys3 and atlys)
 
      - usage of Cypress FX2 USB interface on nexys2/3 and atlys boards
 
    - no functional change of w11a CPU core or any test systems
 
 
 
  - Changes
 
    - use boost libraries instead of custom coding:
 
      - boost/function and /bind for callbacks, retire RmethDscBase and RmethDsc
 
      - boost/foreach for some iterator loops
 
      Note: boost 1.35 and gcc 4.3 or newer is required, see INSTALL.txt
 
    - module renames:
 
        bplib/s3board/s3_rs232_iob_int -> bplib/bpgen/bp_rs232_2line_iob

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

  - Summary
 
    - Introduce rbus protocol V3
 
    - reorganize rbus and rlink modules, many renames
 
 
 
  - New features
 
    - vlib/rbus
 
      - added several rbus devices useful for debugging
 
        - rbd_tester: test target, used for example in test benches
 
 
 
  - Changes
 
    - module renames:
 
      - the rri (remote-register-interface) components were re-organized and
 
        cleanly separated into rbus and rlink components:
 
          rri/rb_sres_or_*              -> rbus/rb_sres_or_*
 
          rri/rri_core                  -> rlink/rlink_core
 
          rri/rri_base_serport          -> rlink/rlink_base_serport
 
          rri/rrilib                    -> rbus/rblib
 
                                        -> rlink/rlinklib
 
          rri/rri_serport               -> rlink/rlink_serport
 
          rri/tb/rritb_sres_or_mon      -> rbus/rb_sres_or_mon
 
      - the rri test bench monitors were reorganized and renamed
 
          rri/tb/rritb_cpmon            -> rlink/rlink_mon
 
          rri/tb/rritb_cpmon_sb         -> rlink/rlink_mon_sb
 
          rri/tb/rritb_rbmon            -> rbus/rb_mon
 
          rri/tb/rritb_rbmon_sb         -> rbus/rb_mon_sb
 
      - the rri low level test bench were also renamed
 
          rri/tb/tb_rri                 -> rlink/tb/tb_rlink
 
          rri/tb/tb_rri_core            -> rlink/tb/tb_rlink_direct
 
          rri/tb/tb_rri_serport         -> rlink/tb/tb_rlink_serport
 
      - the base modules for rlink+cext based test benches were renamed

          rri/tb/rritb_core             -> rlink/tb/tbcore_rlink
 
          rri/tb/vhpi_rriext            -> rlink/tb/rlink_cext_vhpi
 
          rri/tb/cext_rriext.c          -> rlink/tb/rlink_cext.c
 
 
 
      - other rri/rbus related renames
 
          bplib/s3board/s3_humanio_rri  -> s3_humanio_rbus
 
          w11a/pdp11_core_rri           -> pdp11_core_rbus
 
 
 
      - other renames
 
          w11a/tb/tb_pdp11_core         -> tb_pdp11core
 
 
 
    - signal renames:
 
      - rlink interface (defined in rlink/rlinklib.vhd):
 
        - rename rlink port signals:
 
          CP_*  -> RL_*
 
        - rename status bit names to better reflect their usage in v3:
 
          ccrc  -> cerr   - indicates cmd crc error or other cmd level abort
 
          dcrc  -> derr   - indicates data crc error or other data level abort
 
          ioto  -> rbnak  - indicates rbus abort, either no ack or timeout
 
          ioerr -> rberr  - indicates that rbus err flag was set
 
 
 
    - migrate to rbus protocol version 3
 
      - in rb_mreq use now aval,re,we instead of req,we
 
      - basic rbus transaction now takes 2 cycles, one for address select, one
 
        for data exchange. Same concept and reasoning behind as in ibus V2.
 
 
 
    - vlib/rlink/rlink_core
 
      - cerr and derr state flags now set on command or data crc errors as well
 
        as on eop/nak aborts when command or wblk data is received.
 
      - has now 'monitor port', RL_MONI.
 
      - RL_FLUSH port removed, the flush logic is now in rlink_serport
 
 
 
    - restructured rlink modules
 
      - rlink_core is the rlink protocol engine with a 9 bit wide interface
 
      - rlink_rlb2rl (new) is an adapter to a byte wide interface
 
      - rlink_base (new) combines rlink_core and rlink_rlb2rl
 
      - rlink_serport (re-written) is an adapter to a serial interface
 
      - rlink_base_serport (renamed) combines rlink_base and rlink_serport
 
 
 
- trunk (2010-11-28: svn rev 8(oc) 341(wfjm); untagged w11a_V0.51) +++++++++++
 
 
 
  - Summary
 
    - Introduce ibus protocol V2
 
    - Nexys2 systems use DCM
 
    - sys_w11a_n2 now runs with 58 MHz
 
 
 
  - New features
 
    - ibus
 
      - added ib_sres_or_mon to check for miss-behaving ibus devices
 
      - added ib_sel to encapsulate address select logic
 
    - nexys2 systems
 
      - now DCM derived system clock supported
 
      - sys_gen/w11a/nexys2
 
        - sys_w11a_n2 now runs with 58 MHz clksys
 
 
 
  - Changes
 
    - module renames:
 
      - in future 'box' is used for large autonomous blocks, therefore use
 
        the term unit for purely sequential logic modules:
 
          pdp11_abox -> pdp11_ounit
 
          pdp11_dbox -> pdp11_aunit
 
          pdp11_lbox -> pdp11_lunit
 
          pdp11_mbox -> pdp11_munit
 
 
 
    - signal renames:
 
      - renamed RRI_LAM -> RB_LAM in all ibus devices
 
      - renamed CLK     -> I_CLK50 in all top level nexys2 and s3board designs
 
 
 
    - migrate to ibus protocol version 2
 
      - 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
 
        for data exchange. This avoids too long logic paths in the ibus logic.
 
 
 
  - Bug fixes
 
    - rtl/vlib/Makefile.xflow: use default .opt files under rtl/vlib again.
 
 
 
- w11a_V0.5 (2010-07-23) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
 
 
  Initial release with
 
  - w11a CPU core
 
  - basic set of peripherals: kw11l, dl11, lp11, pc11, rk11/rk05
 
  - just for fun: iist (not fully implemented and tested yet)
 
  - two complete system configurations with
 
    - for a Digilent S3BOARD    rtl/sys_gen/w11a/s3board/sys_w11a_s3
 
    - for a Digilent Nexys2     rtl/sys_gen/w11a/nexys2/sys_w11a_n2
