PA-FE-TX in any slot.
02-Nov-2005
-----------
- Fixed some problems with the NVRAM when it is empty ;
- Added a "net_io.c" module that is an abstraction layer
for network communications (TAP, Unix sockets...)

merge is planned on 03-Nov.
- Added a "PA driver" framework.
03-Nov-2005
-----------

is a FIFO buffer to avoid character loss (added a "dev_vtty.c" module).
- Merging with Mtve patch, that cleans NETIO module and adds features
to the console.
- Added a clock divisor hack, but it is not completely working.
todo: implement a command line option for this.
08-Nov-2005
-----------
- Mtve added tcp client/server NETIO.
- The clock divisor is now working! It is set by the "-k" command line
option.
- Fixed the csr5 register handling in DEC21140 driver code.
13-Nov-2005
-----------

- Modified the infrastructure to allow the use of CPU groups
that share a certain number of devices (per-CPU device array).
All device drivers have been modified to handle this.
- Took a look at LSI ATMizer II+, which is the circuit used on
PA-A3-OC3 boards. The ATMizer is based on a MIPS CPU, so it should
be possible to emulate it.
- Added a per-CPU dedicated thread.
23-Nov-2005
-----------
- The PA-A1 ATM stuff is working!!!
24-Nov-2005
-----------
- Fixed a bug in the PA-A1 driver in TX buffer chaining.
25-Nov-2005

It avoids the use of device aliasing.
- Fixed the DEC21140 TX part which was incomplete.
29-Nov-2005
-----------
- There are still bugs in big packet forwarding. This is probably the ATM
driver (added more debugging info).
- Fabien Devaux wrote a README explaining the command line options.
30-Nov-2005

Only the bit 33 is used to bypass L2 caching.
Re-introduced SRAM aliasing.
PHY address 0x100000000 is in fact for PCI I/O space.
- Began to play with the Cirrus Logic PD6729.
- Added Bootflash based on Intel 28F008SA chips (1 Mb)
- Fixed the alignment error occuring with "show version".
04-Jan-2006
-----------

size: modified the Flash SIMM code to handle a 8 Mb flash in 1 bank
(emulation of Intel 28F016SA chip) which should be sufficient to store
crashinfo files or misc files like configs,...
- Added ROM remote logging capabilities (with remote emulator control).

in mult/multu instructions.
16-Jan-2006
-----------
- Added generic hash tables.
- Added "instruction lookup tables" (ILT), which greatly improve performance
of non-JIT mode.
- Added instruction statistics for the non-JIT mode ("Ctrl-] + j")
17-Jan-2006
-----------
- Added a port for non-x86 hosts. The emulator ran successfully on a
Tru64 Unix box (Alpha CPU)! It should also be able to compile and run
on MacOS X (PowerPC).
24-Jan-2006
-----------
- Added support for DMA channels on Galileo GT64k controllers since it seems
that they may be used by IOS (NPE-400 for sure, other NPE?).
25-Jan-2006
-----------
- Added Linux Raw Ethernet driver to the NetIO infrastructure.
- Hmm, I'm probably missing something in the DMA/SRAM interaction and
endianness...
26-Jan-2006
-----------
- The DMA problem is finally fixed, in fact the SRAM can be accessed with
byte-swapping.
- Added an unicast limiter to the DEC21140, to receive only trafic directed
to the virtual machine (+ multicast/broadcast). This is done by analyzing
the setup frames (MAC address filter).
27-Jan-2006
-----------
- The Linux Raw Ethernet driver needs promiscuous mode to be enabled to
receive appropriate packets, added the required code.
- Added endianness definitions, and replaced hton[sl]/ntoh[sl] by the new

29-Jan-2006
-----------
- Added a virtual bridge system.

31-Jan-2006
-----------
- Fixed a stupid bug in DMA handling, which in certain conditions can
cause an infinite loop.
01-Feb-2006

- Release 0.2.3c
06-Feb-2006
-----------
- Added working Serial interfaces (PA-4T+) !
- Bug: CDP not working with serial interfaces ("debug cdp events" reports
a checksum problem).
07-Feb-2006
-----------
- Started the 0.2.4 release.
- Modified the command line parser to allow many NIO per PA (for example
for serials).
- A lot of code cleanups in the C7200 initialization.
- Added PA-8T support.
- To fix: CDP with Serial interfaces: using cp_len (instead of cp_len+4)
in packet rx fixes the problem but breaks IP. Probably something related
to padding, see how a CDP packet is sent (special flag in tx ring ?)
- Added virtual "beqz" instruction.
- Added the "-X" option, allowing to use host memory directly instead of
mapping a file to simulate RAM (faster).
- Beginning of code reorganization to allow multiple instance contexts.
08-Feb-2006
-----------
- Added a basic virtual Frame-Relay switch. Unfortunately, LMI must be
implemented to maintain links up.
- Finally found the problem related to CDP! It was simply a padding problem.
09-Feb-2006
-----------
- Add support of promiscuous mode for the DEC21140 "unicast limiter":
promiscuous mode is used in bridging configurations.
- Fixed another bug with the serial interfaces: it seems that there is
a "length substractor" for the txring.
10-Feb-2006
-----------
- Played a little with the PA-POS-OC3, without success.
14-Feb-2006
-----------
- Finally implemented the basic LMI stuff (only ANSI Annex D). Fortunately,
IOS rocks and uses auto-detection, so no extra configuration is needed.
- Integrated a Makefile patch from Max Khon for FreeBSD.
- Updated documentation.
- Release 0.2.4.
15-Feb-2006
-----------
- Fixed a cosmetic bug when displaying MAC address at startup.
- Fixed a stupid bug in "srav" instruction in x86_64 JIT code. The
arithmetic shift operation was done on a 64-bit basic instead of 32-bit,
causing bad propagation of the sign-bit.
- Added support for multiple instances (no CLI present yet).
17-Feb-2006
-----------
- Fixed 2 bugs in Frame-Relay switch: a crash occured when receiving
a packet gave an error, and if many DLCI with the same ID on different
interfaces were used, only one was announced on one interface.
18-Feb-2006
-----------
- Began work on advanced configuration parsing (instances).
19-Feb-2006

defined.
04-Apr-2006
-----------
- Added packet dump (for debugging) to NetIO receive/send operations.
08-Apr-2006
-----------

multiplexer due to bad design in NIO adding.
19-Apr-2006
-----------
- Beginning of work on AMD Am79c971 ethernet controller (used by PA-4E

this is basic, we count the number of translated pages and we flush when
this number reaches a threshold (512 pages seems to be a good value).
- Integrated a patch from Philipp Brenner (BTS entry #21)
Description: "In standard mode it intercepts SIGINT and sends a CTRL+C
(0x03) to the target's vtty_con buffer, while in hypervisor mode it
gracefully shuts down the hypervisor which causes the application to
quit."
04-Jul-2006
-----------
- Fixed a stupid bug in mts_cache (phys_page boundary not checked).
- Optimized JIT flushing and insn block allocation.
- Changed the maximum number of translated pages to 2048, which seems to
be a more adequate value.

zone is limited by default to 64 Mb for Linux/Unix and 16 Mb for Cygwin.
When the zone is fully used, the JIT structures are flushed (removed the
maximum number of translated pages).
Now, there is no need to disable ExecShield or similar systems.
- Added explicit error message when failing to open an ELF file.
- Fixed getopt_long() usage.
- Added CLI option "--exec-area <size>" to define exec zone size for the
default VM.

18-Jul-2006
-----------
- Fixed inter-pages jumps in delay slots (reported by nula)

virtual ethernet switch.
- Added "ethsw show_mac_addr_table" to show all MAC addresses learnt by
a virtual ethernet switch.
- Fixed a potential bug with jalr/jr instructions, where the stack is used
to save the return PC. If the instruction in the delay slot returned
directly to the jit main loop (exception,...), the stack would be in
an inconsistent state. This fix is also required for Darwin/x86.
27-Jul-2006
-----------
- Stack alignment for Darwin/x86 in memop functions and unknown opcode
handling.
- The Darwin/x86 build requires -mdynamic-no-pic as compilation option.

- Merged a patch from Peter Ross for Console and AUX ports optimizations
(especially with TCP mode)
* console and aux FILE streams
* reimplement vtty_read_and_store() as state machine:
- parse telnet escape codes, instead of forwarding them to router.
- display instance and router name in xterm/vt title bar.
- Modified the Mueslix driver to have something working for both C3600 and
C7200 models. Added some debugging info.

transmitting up to 16 packets in one TX ring scan pass.
- Added the same to Serial driver (untested).
- Added "unicast limiter" feature to the am79c971 driver, similarly to the
dec21140 driver. Not having this caused the virtual instances to see
unrelated host traffic when using linux_eth/gen_eth NIO and consequently
a bad performance was obtained. Thanks to Greg for noticing that.
- Beginning of rework of PCI subsystem for PCI bridge support.
(Greg noticed that with 12.2T releases, the PCI bus numbering is
different for the C3660).
31-Aug-2006
-----------

PCI bus, physical addresses for PA, ... Now everything is handled
dynamically by the PCI subsystem and the remaining drivers (PA-4B,
PA-POS-OC3) have been fixed.
- C3600: removed PCI bus info from the bay module (due to PCI bridge new
code).
04-Sep-2006
-----------
- Fixed some typos in comments.
- Added a standalone utility to extract IOS configuration from an
NVRAM file.

- C3600: fixed incorrect handling of commands for this platform, which
caused port 0 to be disabled when manipulating other ports.
11-Sep-2006
-----------
- Fixed loop overflow in idle pc computation.
- Added base64 encoding/decoding module from Yannick Le Teigner.
- Added hypervisor commands "vm push_config" and "vm extract_config"
to manage IOS configurations. Extracting to base64 is ok (verified with
a third party decoder:
http://www.opinionatedgeek.com/dotnet/tools/Base64Decode/Default.aspx )
- C3600: NVRAM checksum is now correctly computed.
12-Sep-2006
-----------
- Following a suggestion of Yannick Le Teigner, applied the optimization
principle to PA-A1 card already used in dec21140, ... Latency is clearly
better (on my system, this dropped from about 150ms to 50 ms).
14-Sep-2006
-----------

MII register).
23/25-Sep-2006
--------------
- Still continuing on the NM-16ESW (first packets received/transmitted).
26-Sep-2006
-----------
- NM-16ESW: seems to be working! (although there are still a lot of things
to do).
28-Sep-2006
-----------
- Added a hack to allow Ethernet NM to work correctly in 3620/3640
(seen when directly attached to the real network with very few packets
incoming).

16-May-2007
-----------
- New flash code re-enabled for all routers requiring it (NPE-G2 bootflash
is broken however).
- C1700: added WIC-1ENET code base with EEPROM MAC address programming.
18-May-2007
-----------
- Memory exceptions are now handled through setjmp/longjmp, avoiding error
checks in memory access functions.
19-May-2007
-----------
- C2600: fixed PCI handling which prevented i82559 device to work.
In fact, the PCI bridge is in a Xilinx device, and the output of
"sh pci hardware" was very different from a real router.
- i8255x (eepro100): added basic code (no RX/TX, only MII working).
20-May-2007
-----------
- Continuing on i8255x.
21-May-2007
-----------
- i8255x: Intel doesn't provide enough info in its documentation for
the RX flexible mode...
22-May-2007
-----------
- i8255x: RX flexible mode works similarly to the 82596CA chipset.
Packet TX and RX seems ok.
23-May-2007
-----------
- C2691/C3725/C3745: fixed GT96100 binding to slot 0.
- GT96100/ETH: fixed interrupt handling for TX packets (the interrupt was
incorrectly disabled when no packet was available on a ring, causing
packet loss when the two ports were enabled) - BTS entry #171.
25-May-2007
-----------
- C3660: correct support of mainboard FastEthernet ports with the new
card subsystem.
- C7200: fixed I/O card definition with new card subsystem.
- Added compatibility mode with old version for slot binding in the
command line.
01-Jun-2007
-----------
- Heavily fixed/tested the Serial drivers to correctly transmit/receive
frames. Now the CRC is not anymore transmitted and the correct size is
set for RX rings (TODO: crc-32 for Mueslix and PA-POS-OC3).
03-Jun-2007
-----------
- Fixed incorrect free in deletion of frame-relay switch VC.
04-Jun-2007
-----------
- PA-POS-OC3/Mueslix: added correct handling of crc-16/crc-32.
10-Jun-2007
-----------
- MIPS64: correct handling of stack for MacOS X (alignment).
- MSFC1: cleaned up module to use the new card infrastructure.
- Frame-Relay switch: removed "trailing" handling which was in fact
only the CRC + final byte.
09-Jul-2007
-----------
- Fixed PA-FE-TX initialization (EEPROM setting lacking).
11-Jul-2007
-----------
- PPC32-JIT: fixed stack alignment for MacOSX/Darwin.
- PPC32-JIT: fixed perf counter and breakpoints.
13-Jul-2007
-----------
- Integrated patches from FreeBSD (Pavel I Volkov), excepted for the vtty
part.
14-17-Jul-2007
--------------
- Rework of VM infrastructure.
17-Jul-2007
-----------
- Added basic plugin subsystem.
- CPU: added custom handler support for undefined memory accesses.
21-22-Jul-2007
--------------
- GT96100: working on SDMA and MPSC.
23-Jul-2007
-----------
- C3745: finally understood how to handle WIC EEPROMs.
24-Jul-2007
-----------
- C3745: added support of WIC-1T & WIC-2T.
- GT96100: fixed SDMA handling.
25-Jul-2007
-----------
- C2691/C3725: added WIC-1T and WIC-2T similarly to C3745.
- C1700: fixed mainboard definitions, added proper support of C1710
(no WIC port, Ethernet port connected on MPC860 SCC1).
- C1700: added 1751 and 1760 definitions.
29-Jul-2007
-----------
- MPC860: fixed MII registers for 1710, 1721 and 1760.
01-Aug-2007
-----------
- C2600/C2691/C3725/C3745: Added NM-CIDS/NM-NAM which can be connected
to a PC emulator.
- C2600: added a check for NM-CIDS/NM-NAM which require XM models.
18-Aug-2007
-----------
- Added WIC address space definitions for platforms that support them.
19-Aug-2007
-----------
- Added ISL support for am79c970 based cards (NM-1FE-TX and others).
27-Aug-2007
-----------
- GT96100: missing check for NULL pointer in set_nio/unset_nio.
- MPC860: same bugfix (SCC and FEC).
31-Aug-2007
-----------
- MIPS/PPC: modified device memory access to allow devices not at a 4k
page boundary (like WICs on 2600).
- Added fake WIC serial drivers, just to catch the memory accesses.
06-Sep-2007
-----------
- PPC32: Fixed BCTR instruction on amd64 jit.
08-Sep-2007
-----------
- Added an object store (through hypervisor) for Dynagen.
11-Sep-2007
-----------
- Proper cleanup of gt_data/mpc_data fields for MPC860 and GT96100 based
platforms (start/stop/exit/crash symptom with Dynagen).
12-Sep-2007
-----------
- Fixed udp_recv simple program which was broken.
- Added "delete_all" command for hypervisor object store.
- Added appropriate code for serial WIC drivers on 1700.
14-Sep-2007
-----------
- Added TCP keepalives on VTTY connections (xabrouck@cisco.com)
- Fixed Flash code.
18-Sep-2007
-----------
- Added a virtual ATM SAR (segmentation and reassembly) engine.
- Added a virtual ATM bridge device (RFC1483).
21-Sep-2007
-----------
- GT96100: fixed CRC handling in MPSC HDLC channels (2 bytes, not 4!)
