After a quick bit of reading, discovered the virtual copy constructor pattern really is only a convention in C++, and conformed to it. Which hopefully gives copyable tracks.

If asynchronous background processing is to occur on tracks then, given that they inherently have state, they'll need to be copyable, and ideally 'cheaply' (though it's not too great a priority). So started implementing appropriate copy constructors. Also introduced an extra level of indirection to PCMSegmentEventSource so that it can copy itself without copying the underlying PCMSegment, which is 95% of the heft of a track in all currently-implemented cases.

Added just enough for a complete manual test of writing to a .ADF with the 1770 then getting the correct result parsing it back on the host side in order potentially to update a file.
...
... which means that now it's time to worry about when and how mounted files should actually update themselves. Which will make for some fun with threading, I dare say.

Ensured that FileHolder gets a writeable file reference if one is possible, and records whether the file in hand is read-only. So now the SSD class can answer honestly.

Fixed Oric .DSK handling, per my latest understanding. Which creates a desire to write shorts directly to the disk surface, so exposed that in the encoder.

0490a47058
Worked on the all-around framework for decoding sectors back from tracks when closing down a file. Hit the wall that the parser is more observant of CRCs than the WD. No, really. So I guess I have to stop avoiding that whole issue.

2016-12-20 18:13:10 -05:00
Thomas Harte

Still by manual inspection: the time for the next event should be provisional until proven acceptable, allowing a proper measurement of time until exiting the period to be taken; also fixed the accumulated period error when seeking back onto the underlying track.

Made an attempt to come up with a data structure that actually makes sense (though perhaps this is textbook list rather than vector stuff? I guess it depends on the frequency I expect inserts to occur versus reads) and to implement inserts. Though the Periods aren't yet honoured.
2016-12-19 07:42:43 -05:00
Thomas Harte
e081f224b6
Implemented a very basic PCMTrack test, nevertheless revealing an oversight in PCMSegmentEventSource related to improperly counting to the index hole if the final bit is set. Took that as a message that I should comment and document the event source.

I am instructed that the Oric actually catches only positive transitions, and compares the distance between those to a threshold. So here's an altered version of the tape parser that does that.

A quick hard-wiring of the OricTAP code to get the first file in a .tap correct, damn the rest, and I'm getting some on-screen feedback. Hooray!

There's no cache and no CRC checking yet, but this is probably a rough outline of an FM parser.

Edging towards SSD/DSD support. Hold on!
2016-09-18 19:32:08 -04:00
Thomas Harte
91cd7e143b
Started on the SSD/DSD support. Realised I had ommitted multiple head support from my disk class. Fixed that.

Thomas Harte
5409c8ec54
Switched PCMSegments to std::vector; ensured generated [M]FM tracks are correctly sized, thereby making sure the individual flux windows will be correctly sized.
2016-09-18 18:56:35 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Adapted pervasively to MSB-first output. Which seems to be correct.
2016-09-18 18:46:58 -04:00
Thomas Harte
180c3df2d4
Calling it 'number theory' probably isn't accurate but extracted the CRC stuff and started using it for [M]FM encoding.
2016-09-18 18:33:26 -04:00
Thomas Harte
55a7418cbf
Parameterised to perform FM and MFM encodings, at least subject to CRCs still being missing.
2016-09-18 17:16:20 -04:00
Thomas Harte
22eed60d2b
Started sketching out basic MFM track encoding. Which possibly even means that the shifters don't need to be public?
2016-09-18 16:53:21 -04:00
Thomas Harte
0089c830c6
This possibly correctly encapsultes the lowest level of FM and MFM rules.
2016-09-18 14:17:06 -04:00
Thomas Harte
bcf91de7e9
Declared support for the Acorn disk files, started hammering out an encoder.
2016-09-18 13:35:54 -04:00

Added a quick bit of documentation.

Cut down to one GCD and clarified variable names, getting more explicit about what's going on.

Thomas Harte
79ef38b123
Attempted to use the new get_cycles_until_next_event method to take some repetition outside of the PLL and drive event loops.

Workaround for a weird bug that suddenly appears to manifest: gzgetc is returning the file name, not bytes from the file. Seems to be related to improper initialisation of the next field within the gzFile header. I can't immediately see where ZLib intends to do that so it's a bit mysterious. But the larger-than-8 readers could probably save time by reading in blocks anyway.
2016-09-17 22:01:25 -04:00
Thomas Harte
14a9edcf5d
Made an attempt to do the time base conversion upfront, saving a lot of hassle and allowing greater prediction.
2016-09-17 19:52:27 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Started work on a GCR parser and the helper functions that lie behind that.

Added insurance against an infinite loop should the tape be exhausted.
2016-09-12 22:22:23 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Implemented seeking on tapes, mucked about a bit more with the Commodore analyser, at least temporarily removed cropping from the Vic emulator.
2016-09-11 17:09:00 -04:00

Threw in 300-baud support. Why not?
2016-09-08 07:48:20 -04:00
Thomas Harte
3e925e80a3
Added a field-filling constructor for pulses.
2016-09-08 07:41:44 -04:00
Thomas Harte
1e7b5330f5
More or less rewrote, to use a filled-per-chunk buffer of upcoming pulses rather than working them out as requests come. Which is more straightforward — all the code for a particular chunk goes in exactly one place — and much easier to extend. So threw in a provisional 0104 implementation.
2016-09-08 07:41:26 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Attempted, at least, to insert a dummy byte as per the specification.

Sought to emulate 0111 as a longer 0110 to test a particular HQ UEF. Some progress. Not great.

Thomas Harte
963a479908
Made a quick first attempt at getting a file name from Acorn tape, failing terribly but at least formalising tapes being able to signal their end.
2016-08-29 21:53:06 -04:00
Thomas Harte
d1abfc040c
Addressed my dithering here: the file format containers themselves should do nothing but inspect the data to find out whether it is of the correct format. The machine steps are there for machine-specific validation. So it's probably easier to treat a binary ROM image just as a binary ROM image. Therefore, the Acorn-specific .rom detection is now in an Acorn-specific area.
2016-08-29 08:48:49 -04:00
Thomas Harte
29c972f4b8
Added hacky segue into analysis for all Electron formats. Added analyser to try to differentiate Acorn-format ROMs from other things called .rom, which are likely to be numerous.
2016-08-28 12:43:17 -04:00
Thomas Harte
d9f0065154
Sketched out just enough classes to get through the get-contents-into-memory step of static analysis.
2016-08-28 12:20:40 -04:00
Thomas Harte
24938326ac
ROMs definitely have no behaviour other than responding to memory accesses. Cartridges might. So picked the more general term. Sketched out a class at least to parse PRG as though it were a cartridge. Hence the static analyser can guess at whether a PRG is a cartridge or an ordinary program.
2016-08-27 18:26:51 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Started forcing a resolution on ROMs by doing. But have immediately misstepped. Rename coming momentarily...

Minor tidying of namespace usage declarations.
2016-08-27 17:18:12 -04:00

Gave disks their own namespace.

Gave tapes their own namespace.
2016-08-27 17:09:45 -04:00
Thomas Harte
8c333059a8
Turning this into a slog: gave UEF a more appropriate name, got as far as now having to decide what to do about ROMs as to structure. I guess they're machine specific, so specific classes?
2016-08-27 16:40:21 -04:00
Thomas Harte
73ce67bee8
Added some documentation of the intention here.

This has now successfully loaded its first PRG-as-a-tape.
2016-08-19 10:58:42 -04:00

Adopted header/header/data/data pattern. But still not complete joy.
2016-08-17 08:03:34 -04:00
Thomas Harte
e5523dbbed
This gets through loading the first(/only?) copy. I tried repeating it with a bit-flipped header, now I'm trying repeating the header with a different file type. More documentation searching to do, I guess.
2016-08-16 22:17:08 -04:00
Thomas Harte
1bca9aa2bb
Fixed parity: now calculated from the actual byte and works the other way around. The Vic now believes it is loading the actual program. So I guess bytes, headers and the lead-in is working.
2016-08-16 21:41:09 -04:00
Thomas Harte
dfe9fb83ef
This proves that bytes are being deposited properly. For the first 36 anyway, and with no announcement.
2016-08-16 21:09:50 -04:00
Thomas Harte
12f8aff65b
Lengths I'd taken seem to have been for dipoles, not single poles. So I just doubled the clock rate. Also I was producing each dipole as high then low, when they should probably be low then high. The Vic now at least recognises that something is happening on the tape.
2016-08-16 19:46:53 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Adjusted the check digit.

dbe47f3f45
I've obviously misunderstood something as, as far as I'm concerned, this should at least get me a 'LOADING'.
2016-08-15 22:40:05 -04:00
Thomas Harte
7994148f55
I'm starting to make a little headway, I think: this performs lead-ins and countdowns, though with no actual data or anything as helpful as that.
2016-08-15 22:10:53 -04:00
Thomas Harte
7e2b4554ea
This likely forms the Commodore dipoles correctly. It just stays stuck in leader tone forever is all.
2016-08-15 20:08:50 -04:00
Thomas Harte
38aec44d85
Made sufficient changes for the Vic itself to believe it can recast a PRG as a tape and insert it that way. So now the ball is in the court of: how the heck are Commodore tapes encoded?
2016-08-15 19:44:41 -04:00

Made an attempt to insert proper conversions to/from rotational speed. The Time class is now really turning into a full-on quotient. Might need refactoring.

Thomas Harte
e15241dc3c
Added ability to query how long since the new interval was set to the timed event loop. Discovered that LCM will returning the net effect of the common factors only. Otherwise continued iterating towards time preservation.

Okay, it's becoming more apparent where the (very mild) complexity will be here. But started moving towards retaining rotation between tracks.
2016-08-03 07:33:26 -04:00
Thomas Harte
21f1fa37a4
Fixed Time addition, added accumulation of distance into track into the disk drive, added a short circuit for LCM.
2016-08-03 07:26:05 -04:00
Thomas Harte
30f8b6baa4
Made an attempt to add the necessary extension to Track, with a concrete implementation in PCMTrack, to support time-based seeking, the intended mechanism for not magically spinning the disk back to the index hole upon every head step.
2016-08-03 06:59:45 -04:00
Thomas Harte

Reduced 1540 PLL to running at 4Mhz. Which is possibly correct (?) Made minor change to avoid divide if possible.

Thomas Harte
58297f1baf
Performed the basic metadata and routing for opening D64 files. Realised that I wasn't actually necessarily catching exceptions properly for all file opens, and fixed.

Reduced possibility of overflow on LCM, improved commenting widely, removed one stale piece of G64 bootstrapping caveman stuff.

Reeled back all appropriate pieces of caveman debugging.

Thomas Harte
2332f72875
Formalised clock-rate multiplication within disk drives, discovered that the stepper didn't have ideal behaviour for my timed event loop and hence nailed down the semantics a ilttle more.
...
(obiter: the 1540 now appears to discern the correct sequence of bits. Framing is off in my test printfs but that's neither here nor there).
2016-07-31 13:32:30 -04:00

Increased logging; discovered I was packing events together too closely. Now getting some zeros.

Attempted to give the PLL a litte extra leeway, and fixed PCMTrack length test.

Thomas Harte
8f62211f5e
Wired up the 1540 as a PLL delegate. Which prima facie means it should start receiving a bit stream. Except that I clearly have something in the timing way off — either my flux transitions are far too short or I need to significantly increase the clock rate on the PLL.
2016-07-29 12:08:18 -04:00

Switched to specifying bit length as a quotient for the purposes of a PCMSegment and verified that I had the logic for picking a Commodore time zone backwards: bigger numbers are faster, not slower.

Actually, I think this is the correct conversion from received speed to clock rate. It'll become obvious if it's not when I get back to working on the 1541 itself.
