Hm. This file is in random order, and not all parts of it are up-to-date. |
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
4 |
|
|
5 |
Algor: PCI and ISA and LOCAL interrupts! --> wdc could start working |
Landisk SH4: |
6 |
Add interrupt controller in dev_algor.c. |
HITTA OCH FIXA SH4-STABILITETSPROBLEMEN! |
7 |
|
SH4 RTC, läs värdmaskinens klocka. |
8 |
|
När NetBSD 4.0 och OpenBSD 4.1 kommit ut, uppdatera |
9 |
|
installationsinstruktionerna i dokumentationen, flytta upp till |
10 |
|
supportat OS (guestos & index). |
11 |
|
Lägg till landisk i emulated machines i intro.html. |
12 |
|
Sätt machine_landisk stable = 1, om/när allt funkar. |
13 |
|
|
14 |
|
Add a special function to the testmachine devices, console perhaps? |
15 |
|
which prints a zero-terminated string like "[[ %s ]]\n" when given |
16 |
|
a virtual memory address (or a physical? or perhaps both should be possible). |
17 |
|
o) NOT to the console, but to the emulator's controlling terminal. |
18 |
|
DEBUG output, not console output! |
19 |
|
o) Very useful for debugging. DOCUMENT it! |
20 |
|
|
21 |
|
Fix the PowerPC DECR interrupt speed! (MacPPC and PReP speed, etc.) |
22 |
|
|
23 |
|
Prova att installera GNU Linux/DECstation _UTAN_ |
24 |
|
slow_serial_interrupts_hack_for_linux! Det kanske funkar med |
25 |
|
nya interruptsystemet? |
26 |
|
|
27 |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
28 |
|
|
29 |
|
Possible (relatively large) work packages to concentrate on in the future: |
30 |
|
|
31 |
|
x) SMP: |
32 |
|
Get SMP working again. It is pretty much broken since I started |
33 |
|
the conversion from the old bintrans system to the new dyntrans system. |
34 |
|
Add better Test machine demos for SMP in the demos directory. |
35 |
|
Either multiple dev_mp (one per cpu), or the single dev_mp must |
36 |
|
_really_ keep all per-cpu values separate. |
37 |
|
|
38 |
|
x) Alpha and SPARC emulation: |
39 |
|
These are the next two CPU/machine families that I want to emulate. |
40 |
|
|
41 |
|
x) Network: |
42 |
|
Redesign of the networking subsystem, at least the NAT translation |
43 |
|
part. The current way of allowing raw ethernet frames to be |
44 |
|
transfered to/from the emulator via UDP should probably be extended |
45 |
|
to allow the frames to be transmitted other ways as well. |
46 |
|
Also adding support for connecting ttys (either to xterms, or to |
47 |
|
pipes/sockets etc, or even to PPP->NAT or SLIP->NAT :-). |
48 |
|
Documentation updates (!) are very important, making it easier to |
49 |
|
use the (already existing) network emulation features. |
50 |
|
|
51 |
|
x) PCI: |
52 |
|
Pretty much everything related to runtime configuration, device |
53 |
|
slots, interrupts, whatever. The current code is very hardcoded |
54 |
|
and ugly. |
55 |
|
o) Allow cards to be added/removed during runtime more easily. |
56 |
|
o) Allow cards to be enabled/disabled (i/o ports, etc, like |
57 |
|
NetBSD needs for disk controller detection). |
58 |
|
o) Allow devices to be moved in memory during runtime. |
59 |
|
o) Interrupts per PCI slot, etc. (A-D). |
60 |
|
o) PCI interrupt controller logic... very hard to get right, |
61 |
|
because these differ a lot from one machine to the next. |
62 |
|
|
63 |
|
x) Debugging: |
64 |
|
Think more about SMP debugging, etc. Right now, the |
65 |
|
debugger is a mess. Also, a better connection to GDB would be |
66 |
|
very nice to have. |
67 |
|
|
68 |
|
x) Userland emulation: |
69 |
|
Primary goals would be NetBSD and Linux syscall emulation. |
70 |
|
|
71 |
|
x) Variable-length ISA support: |
72 |
|
The support for emulation of variable length ISAs (such as |
73 |
|
M68K, AMD64/i386, or AVR32) is not really there yet. It would |
74 |
|
be very fun to work on this, to get it right. |
75 |
|
|
76 |
|
x) Native code generation backends. |
77 |
|
Not necessary to have the emulator working, but speed is |
78 |
|
always nice to have. |
79 |
|
|
80 |
|
x) Remove all "addr mult" device support! |
81 |
|
Long term goal. Replace the current hacks with address |
82 |
|
multiplication _per device_ with layered devices, so that the |
83 |
|
end device (wdc, ns16550, whatever) only supports one access |
84 |
|
style, and the layers in between convert to 16/32/64-bit |
85 |
|
word alignment. |
86 |
|
|
87 |
|
And of course, there are _LOTS_ of minor TODOs spread out throughout |
88 |
|
the source code, which must be fixed sooner or later. |
89 |
|
|
90 |
|
------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
91 |
|
|
92 |
|
Some other things, in random order, that I'd like to fix: (Some items in |
93 |
|
this list are probably out-to-date by now.) |
94 |
|
|
95 |
Dyntrans: |
Dyntrans: |
96 |
TOP Priority: |
x) Instruction combination collisions? How to avoid easily... |
97 |
x) 64-bit stuff: good generic virtual memory translation, and |
x) Think about how to do both SHmedia and SHcompact in a reasonable |
98 |
other structures. not all 64 bits need to be used |
way! (Or AMD64 long/protected/real, for that matter.) |
99 |
(e.g. Alpha) |
x) 68K emulation; think about how to do variable instruction |
100 |
x) Delay slots! |
lengths across page boundaries. |
101 |
x) Old MIPS -> dyntrans! |
x) Dyntrans with valgrind-inspired memory checker. (In memory_rw, |
102 |
Other stuff: |
it would be reasonably simple to add; in each individual fast |
103 |
|
load/store routine = a lot more work, and it would become |
104 |
|
kludgy very fast.) |
105 |
|
x) Dyntrans with SMP... lots of work to be done here. |
106 |
|
x) Dyntrans with cache emulation... lots of work here as well. |
107 |
|
x) Remove the concept of base RAM completely; it would be more |
108 |
|
generic to allow RAM devices to be used "anywhere". |
109 |
|
o) dev_mp doesn't work well with dyntrans yet |
110 |
|
o) In general, IPIs, CAS, LL/SC etc must be made to work with dyntrans |
111 |
|
x) Redesign/rethink the delay slot mechanism used for e.g. MIPS, |
112 |
|
so that it caches a translation (that is, an instruction |
113 |
|
word and the instr_call it was translated to the last |
114 |
|
time), so that it doesn't need to do slow |
115 |
|
to_be_translated for each end of page? |
116 |
|
x) Program Counter statistics: |
117 |
|
Per machine? What about SMP? All data to the same file? |
118 |
|
A debugger command should be possible to use to enable/ |
119 |
|
disable statistics gathering. |
120 |
|
Configuration file option! |
121 |
|
x) Breakpoints: |
122 |
|
o) Physical vs virtual addresses! |
123 |
|
o) 32-bit vs 64-bit sign extension for MIPS, and others? |
124 |
x) INVALIDATION should cause translations in _all_ cpus to be |
x) INVALIDATION should cause translations in _all_ cpus to be |
125 |
invalidated, e.g. on a write to a write-protected page |
invalidated, e.g. on a write to a write-protected page |
126 |
(containing code) |
(containing code) |
127 |
x) Think about sharing code between CPUs of the same |
x) 16-bit encodings? (MIPS16, ARM Thumb, 32-bit SH on SH64) |
|
arch/bitlength/endianness (the translation caches). |
|
|
(Eg. a little-endian R4000 and a little-endian R5000 could |
|
|
share code, but not an R3000 and an R4000.) |
|
|
x) better (meaningful) instr call statistics |
|
|
x) Call/return hints? |
|
|
x) 16-bit encodings? (MIPS16, ARM Thumb, SH3, ...) |
|
|
x) PPC optimizations; instr combs |
|
|
x) Alpha |
|
|
x) SPARC |
|
|
x) PPC (64-bit stuff) |
|
128 |
x) Lots of other stuff: see src/cpus/README_DYNTRANS |
x) Lots of other stuff: see src/cpus/README_DYNTRANS |
129 |
x) true recompilation backend? think carefully about this, |
x) true recompilation backend? think carefully about this. |
130 |
experiment in a separate project (not in GXemul) |
o) abstract syntax for emitting opcopdes |
131 |
|
o) convert into native code only after an entire |
132 |
|
block has been translated? probably best. |
133 |
|
o) x86/amd64 code generator can be very similar... perhaps |
134 |
|
o) branches to already translated code blocks can |
135 |
|
link the blocks together |
136 |
|
o) load/store are the most important. |
137 |
|
|
138 |
|
Simple Valgrind-like checks? |
139 |
|
o) Mark every address with bits which tell whether or not the address |
140 |
|
has been written to. |
141 |
|
o) What should happen when programs are loaded? Text/data, bss (zero |
142 |
|
filled). But stack space and heap is uninitialized. |
143 |
|
o) Uninitialized local variables: |
144 |
|
A load from a place on the stack which has not previously |
145 |
|
been stored to => warning. Increasing the stack pointer using |
146 |
|
any available means should reset the memory to uninitialized. |
147 |
|
o) If calls to malloc() and free() can be intercepted: |
148 |
|
o) Access to a memory area after free() => warning. |
149 |
|
o) Memory returned by malloc() is marked as not-initialized. |
150 |
|
o) Non-passive, but good to have: Change the argument |
151 |
|
given to malloc, to return a slightly larger memory |
152 |
|
area, i.e. margin_before + size + margin_after, |
153 |
|
and return the pointer + margin_before. |
154 |
|
Any access to the margin_before or _after space results |
155 |
|
in warnings. (free() must be modified to free the |
156 |
|
actually allocated address.) |
157 |
|
|
158 |
|
MIPS: |
159 |
|
o) Nicer MIPS status bits in register dumps. |
160 |
|
o) Alignment exceptions. |
161 |
|
o) Floating point exception correctness. |
162 |
|
o) Fix this? Triggered by NetBSD/sgimips? Hm: |
163 |
|
to_be_translated(): TODO: unimplemented instruction: |
164 |
|
000000000065102c: 00200800 (d) rot_00 at,zr,0 |
165 |
|
o) Some more work on opcodes. |
166 |
|
x) MIPS64 revision 2. |
167 |
|
o) Find out which actual CPUs implement the rev2 ISA! |
168 |
|
o) DROTR32 and similar MIPS64 rev 2 instructions, |
169 |
|
which have a rotation bit which differs from |
170 |
|
previous ISAs. |
171 |
|
o) EI and DI instructions for MIPS64/32 rev 2. |
172 |
|
NOTE: These are _NOT_ the same as for R5900! |
173 |
|
x) _MAYBE_ TX79 and R5900 actually differ in their |
174 |
|
opcodes? Check this carefully! |
175 |
|
o) Dyntrans: Count register updates are probably not 100% correct yet. |
176 |
|
o) Refactor code for performance and readability/maintainability. |
177 |
|
o) (Re)implement 128-bit loads/stores for R5900. |
178 |
|
o) R4000 and others: |
179 |
|
x) watchhi/watchlo exceptions, and other exception |
180 |
|
handling details |
181 |
|
o) R10000 and others: (R12000, R14000 ?) |
182 |
|
x) The code before the line |
183 |
|
/* reg[COP0_PAGEMASK] = cpu->cd.mips.coproc[0]->tlbs[0].mask & PAGEMASK_MASK; */ |
184 |
|
in cpu_mips.c is not correct for R10000 according to |
185 |
|
Lemote's Godson patches for GXemul. TODO: Go through all |
186 |
|
register definitions according to http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi/hdwr/bks/SGI_Developer/books/R10K_UM/sgi_html/t5.Ver.2.0.book_263.html#HEADING334 |
187 |
|
and make sure everything works with R10000. |
188 |
|
Then test with OpenBSD/sgi? |
189 |
|
x) Entry LO mask (as above). |
190 |
|
x) memory space, exceptions, ... |
191 |
|
x) use cop0 framemask for tlb lookups |
192 |
|
(http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/tpl/cgi-bin/getdoc.cgi/hdwr/bks/SGI_Developer/books/R10K_UM/sgi_html/t5.Ver.2.0.book_284.html) |
193 |
|
|
194 |
|
SuperH: |
195 |
|
x) SH4 interrupt controller: |
196 |
|
x) Implement correct priorities of interrupts |
197 |
|
x) SH4 DMA (0xffa00000) |
198 |
|
x) SH4 UBC (0xff200000) |
199 |
|
x) Store queues can copy 32 bytes at a time, there's no need to |
200 |
|
copy individual 32-bit words. (Performance improvement.) |
201 |
|
x) SH4 BSC (Bus State Controller) |
202 |
|
x) SH4 RTC: Read the host's clock. |
203 |
|
x) Instruction tracing should include symbols for branch targets, |
204 |
|
and so on, to make the output more human readable. |
205 |
|
x) NetBSD/evbsh3, dreamcast, mmeye, hpcsh! Linux? |
206 |
|
x) Replace pc-relative loads with immediate load, if within the |
207 |
|
same page. (Similar to the same optimization for ARM.) |
208 |
|
x) Floating point speed! |
209 |
|
x) Floating point exception correctness. |
210 |
|
x) Think carefully about how to implement SH5/SH64 (for evbsh5). |
211 |
|
|
212 |
|
Dreamcast: |
213 |
|
x) G2 DMA |
214 |
|
x) LAN adapter (dev_mb8696x.c). NetBSD root-on-nfs. |
215 |
|
x) PVR: Lots of stuff. See dev_pvr.c. |
216 |
|
x) GDROM |
217 |
|
x) Modem |
218 |
|
x) PCI bridge/bus? |
219 |
|
x) Maple bus: |
220 |
|
x) Correct controller input |
221 |
|
x) Mouse input |
222 |
|
x) Software emulation of BIOS calls: |
223 |
|
x) GD-ROM emulation: Use the GDROM device. |
224 |
|
x) Use the VGA font as a fake ROM font. (Better than |
225 |
|
nothing.) |
226 |
|
x) Linux/dreamcast? (The gentoo kernel currently crashes.) |
227 |
|
x) Make as many as possible of the KOS examples run! |
228 |
|
x) More homebrew demos/games. |
229 |
|
x) SPU: Sound emulation (ARM cpu). |
230 |
|
x) VME processor emulation? "(Sanyo LC8670 "Potato")" according to |
231 |
|
Wikipedia, LC86K87 according to Comstedt's page. See |
232 |
|
http://www.maushammer.com/vmu.html for a good description of |
233 |
|
the differences between LC86104C and the one used in the VME. |
234 |
|
|
235 |
|
Transputer: |
236 |
|
x) Implement support for Helios binaries. |
237 |
|
x) Stack and register contents at startup? |
238 |
|
x) Figure out how to boot an entire Helios distribution. |
239 |
|
x) Implement all instructions. :) |
240 |
|
|
241 |
|
RCA1802/RCA1805, CHIP8: |
242 |
|
x) CHIP8 -> RCA180x conversion |
243 |
|
x) Think about how to do dual-mode, variable-instr-length |
244 |
|
ISAs, and switch between modes. |
245 |
|
x) 1805 "extended" opcode -> trigger CHIP8 emulation? |
246 |
|
That is, all calls 0NNN could point to 0x68 opcodes, |
247 |
|
which, if running on a 1802 in CHIP8-emulation-mode, |
248 |
|
would be manually interpreted. |
249 |
|
x) Better solution: |
250 |
|
CHIP8 calls to 00xx => handle at high level, |
251 |
|
calls to 0xxx in general = call 180X machine code |
252 |
|
(0000 = reboot?) |
253 |
|
x) 1802 info: http://www.nyx.net/~lturner/public_html/Cosmac.html |
254 |
|
and: http://www.elf-emulation.com/1802.html |
255 |
|
x) 1805 extended opcodes: Implement at least disassembly support! |
256 |
|
x) Keyboard input. |
257 |
|
x) Sound (beep only). |
258 |
|
x) Slow-down to correct speed? Wikipedia: "it was usually operated |
259 |
|
at 3.58 MHz/2 to suit the requirements of the 1861 chip which |
260 |
|
gave a speed of a little over 100,000 instructions per second" |
261 |
|
(Note that _CHIP8_ emulation would then be even slower.) |
262 |
|
x) SCHIP48 (Super) emulation: |
263 |
|
Some more opcodes, 128x64 framebuffer, larger |
264 |
|
sprites and fonts. |
265 |
|
|
266 |
|
Alpha: |
267 |
|
x) OSF1 PALcode, Virtual memory support. |
268 |
|
x) PALcode replacement! PAL1E etc opcodes...? |
269 |
|
x) Interrupt/exception/trap handling. |
270 |
|
x) Floating point exception correctness. |
271 |
|
x) More work on bootup memory and register contents. |
272 |
|
x) More Alpha machine types, so it could work with |
273 |
|
OpenBSD, FreeBSD, and Linux too? |
274 |
|
|
275 |
|
SPARC: |
276 |
|
o) Implement Adress space identifiers; load/stores etc. |
277 |
|
o) Save/restore register windows etc! Both v9 and pre-v9! |
278 |
|
o) Finish the subcc and addcc flag computation code. |
279 |
|
o) Add more registers (floating point, control regs etc) |
280 |
|
o) Exception/trap handling. |
281 |
|
o) Disassemly of some more instructions? |
282 |
|
o) Are sll etc 32-bit sign-extending or zero-extending? |
283 |
|
o) Finish the GDB register stuff. |
284 |
|
x) Floating point exception correctness. |
285 |
|
o) SPARC v8, v7 etc? |
286 |
|
|
287 |
|
Debugger: |
288 |
|
o) How does SMP debugging work? Does it simply use "threads"? |
289 |
|
What if the guest OS (running on an emulated SMP machine) |
290 |
|
has a usertask running, with userland threads? |
291 |
|
o) Try to make the debugger more modular and, if possible, reentrant! |
292 |
|
o) Remove the emul command? (But show network info if showing |
293 |
|
machines?) |
294 |
|
o) Evaluate expressions within []? That would allow stuff like |
295 |
|
cpu[x] where x is an expression. |
296 |
|
o) Settings: |
297 |
|
x) Special handlers for Write! |
298 |
|
+) MIPS coproc regs |
299 |
|
+) Alpha/MIPS/SPARC zero registers |
300 |
|
+) x86 64/32/16-bit registers |
301 |
|
x) Value formatter for resulting output. |
302 |
|
o) see src/debugger.c for more |
303 |
|
|
304 |
|
POWER/PowerPC: |
305 |
|
x) Fix DECR timer speed, so it matches the host. |
306 |
|
x) NetBSD/prep 3.x triggers a possible bug in the emulator: |

x) PPC optimizations; instr combs |
322 |
|
x) 64-bit stuff: either Linux on G5, or perhaps some hobbyist |
323 |
|
version of AIX? (if there exists such a thing) |
324 |
|
x) macppc: adb controller; keyboard (for framebuffer mode) |
325 |
|
x) make OpenBSD/macppc work (PCI controller stuff) |
326 |
|
x) Floating point exception correctness. |
327 |

PReP: |
330 |
|
Clock time! ("Bad battery blah blah") |
331 |
|
|
332 |
|
Algor: |
333 |
|
o) Other models than the P5064? |
334 |
|
o) PCI interrupts... needed for stuff like the tlp NIC? |
335 |
|
|
336 |
|
BeBox: |
337 |
|
o) Interrupts. There seems to be a problem with WDC interrupts |
338 |
|
"after a short while", although a few interrupts get through? |
339 |
|
o) Perhaps find a copy of BeOS and try it? |
340 |
|
|
341 |
|
HPCmips: |
342 |
|
x) Mouse/pad support! :) |
343 |
|
x) A NIC? (As a PCMCIA device?) |
344 |
|
|
345 |
|
AVR: |
346 |
|
o) Everything. |
347 |
|
|
348 |
|
ARM: |
349 |
|
o) See netwinder_reset() in NetBSD; the current "an internal error |
350 |
|
occured" message after reboot/halt is too ugly. |
351 |
|
o) ARM "wait"-like instruction? |
352 |
|
o) try to get netbsd/evbarm 3.x or 4.x running (iq80321) |
353 |
|
o) make the xscale counter registers (ccnt) work |
354 |
|
o) make the ata controller usable for FreeBSD! |
355 |
|
o) Zaurus emulation: |
356 |

|
o) Debian/cats crashes because of unimplemented coproc stuff. |
360 |
|
fix this? |
361 |
|
|
362 |
|
Test machines: |
363 |
|
o) dev_fb block fill and copy |
364 |
|
o) dev_fb draw characters (from the built-in font)? |
365 |
|
o) dev_fb input device? mouse pointer coordinates and buttons |
366 |
|
(allow changes in these to cause interrupts as well?) |
367 |
|
o) Redefine the halt() function so that it stops "sometimes |
368 |
|
soon", i.e. usage in demo code should be: |
369 |
|
for (;;) { |
370 |
|
halt(); |
371 |
|
} |
372 |
|
|
373 |
|
Better CD Image file support: |
374 |
|
x) Support CD formats that contain more than 1 track, e.g. |
375 |
|
CDI files (?). These can then contain a mixture of e.g. sound |
376 |
|
and data tracks, and booting from an ISO filesystem path |
377 |
|
would boot from [by default] the first data track. |
378 |
|
(This would make sense for e.g. Dreamcast CD images, or |
379 |
|
possibly other live-CD formats.) |
380 |
|
|
381 |
|
Networking: |
382 |
|
x) Fix performance problems caused by only allowing a |
383 |
|
single TCP packet to be unacked. |
384 |
|
x) Don't hardcode offsets into packets! |
385 |
|
x) Test with lower than 100 max tcp/udp connections, |
386 |
|
to make sure that reuse works! |
387 |
|
x) Make OpenBSD work better as a guest OS! |
388 |
|
x) DHCP? Debian doesn't actually send DHCP packets, even |
389 |
|
though it claims to? So it is hard to test. |
390 |
|
x) Multiple networks per emulation, and let different |
391 |
|
NICs in machines connect to different networks. |
392 |
|
x) Support VDE (vde.sf.net)? Easiest/cleanest (before a |
393 |
|
redesign of the network framework has been done) is |
394 |
|
probably to connect it using the current (udp) solution. |
395 |
|
x) Allow SLIP connections, possibly PPP, in addition to |
396 |
|
ethernet? |
397 |
|
|
398 |
|
Cache simulation: |
399 |
|
o) Command line flags for: |
400 |
|
o) CPU endianness? |
401 |
|
o) Cache sizes? (multiple levels) |
402 |
|
o) Separate from the CPU concept, so that multi-core CPUs sharing |
403 |
|
e.g. a L2 cache can be simulated (?) |
404 |
|
o) Instruction cache emulation is easiest (if separate from the |
405 |
|
data cache); similar hack as the S;I; hack in cpu_dyntrans.c. |
406 |
|
NOTE: if the architecture has a delay slot, then an instruction |
407 |
|
slot can actually be executed as 2 instructions. |
408 |
|
o) Data cache emulation = harder; each arch's load/store routines |
409 |
|
must include support? running one instruction at a time and |
410 |
|
having a cpu-dependant lookup function for each instruction |
411 |
|
is another option (easier to implement, but very very slow). |
412 |
|
|
413 |
|
Documentation: |
414 |
|
x) Note about sandboxing/security: |
415 |
|
Not all emulated instructions fail in the way they would |
416 |
|
do on real hardware (e.g. a userspace program writing to |
417 |
|
a system register might work in GXemul, but it would |
418 |
|
fail on real hardware). Sandbox = contain from the |
419 |
|
host OS. But the emulated programs will run "less |
420 |
|
securely". |
421 |
|
x) Try NetBSD/arc 4.x! (It seems to work with disk images!) |
422 |
|
x) NetBSD/pmax 4 install instructions: xterm instead of vt100! |
423 |
|
x) BETTER DEVICE EXAMPLES! |
424 |
|
o) Move away from technical.html to somewhere new. |
425 |
|
o) DEVICE_TICK |
426 |
|
o) Implement example devices using interrupts, dyntrans |
427 |
|
memory access, etc.? |
428 |
|
x) Document the dyntrans core? |
429 |
|
x) Rewrite the section about experimental devices, after the |
430 |
|
framebuffer acceleration has been implemented, and demos |
431 |
|
written. (Symbolic names instead of numbers; example |
432 |
|
use cases, etc. Mention demo files that use the various |
433 |
|
features?) |
434 |
|
x) "a very simple linear framebuffer device (for graphics output)" |
435 |
|
under "which machines does gxemul emulate" ==> better |
436 |
|
description? |
437 |
|
x) Better description on how to set up a cross compiler? |
438 |
|
Example for MIPS64. |
439 |
|
o) Automagic documentation generation? |
440 |
|
x) machines, cpus, devices. |
441 |
|
x) REMEMBER that several machines/devices can be in |
442 |
|
the same source file! |
443 |
|
o) Try to rewrite the install instructions for those machines |
444 |
|
that use 3MAX into using CATS or hpcmips? (To remove the need |
445 |
|
to use a raw ffs partition, using up all of the disk image.) |

Network layer: |
x) Go through all other machines, one by one, and fix them. |
|
o) DHCP (for Debian and BSD installers :-) |
|
|
o) increase performance |

Busses: |
