NOTE: This TODO is hopefully out-of-date. I don't keep it updated. |
Hm. This file is in random order, and not all parts of it are up-to-date. |

=============================================================================== |
Algor: PCI and ISA and LOCAL interrupts! --> wdc could start working |
6 |
|
Add interrupt controller in dev_algor.c. |
|
Old MIPS bintrans: |
|
|
x) call/return address cache? |
|
|
x) Turn the MIPS cpu family stuff into dyntrans. |
|
7 |
|
|
8 |
Dyntrans: |
Dyntrans: |
9 |
x) Separate data and instruction translations? |
TOP Priority: |
10 |
x) Generalize the inline quick_pc_to_pointers? |
x) 64-bit stuff: good generic virtual memory translation, and |
11 |
x) Call/return hints... |
other structures. not all 64 bits need to be used |
12 |
x) More 64-bit stuff. |
(e.g. Alpha) |
13 |
|
x) Delay slots! |
14 |
|
x) Old MIPS -> dyntrans! |
15 |
|
Other stuff: |
16 |
|
x) INVALIDATION should cause translations in _all_ cpus to be |
17 |
|
invalidated, e.g. on a write to a write-protected page |
18 |
|
(containing code) |
19 |
|
x) Think about sharing code between CPUs of the same |
20 |
|
arch/bitlength/endianness (the translation caches). |
21 |
|
(Eg. a little-endian R4000 and a little-endian R5000 could |
22 |
|
share code, but not an R3000 and an R4000.) |
23 |
|
x) better (meaningful) instr call statistics |
24 |
|
x) Call/return hints? |
25 |
|
x) 16-bit encodings? (MIPS16, ARM Thumb, SH3, ...) |
26 |
|
x) PPC optimizations; instr combs |
27 |
|
x) Alpha |
28 |
|
x) SPARC |
29 |
|
x) PPC (64-bit stuff) |
30 |
x) Lots of other stuff: see src/cpus/README_DYNTRANS |
x) Lots of other stuff: see src/cpus/README_DYNTRANS |
31 |
|
x) true recompilation backend? think carefully about this, |
32 |
|
experiment in a separate project (not in GXemul) |
33 |
|
|
34 |
|
More generic out_of_memory error reporting, and check everywhere! |
35 |
|
Causes: OpenBSD has low default limits for normal users. |
36 |
|
Host is 32-bit? (32-bit hosts are limited to 4 GB or less |
37 |
|
of userspace memory.) |
38 |
|
You are actually low on RAM. (As trivial as this might sound, |
39 |
|
Unix systems usually allow processes to allocate virtual |
40 |
|
memory beyond the amount of RAM in the machine.) |
41 |
|
|
42 |
|
Breakpoints: 32-bit vs 64-bit sign extension for MIPS, warnings, etc. |
43 |
|
Use the debugger's symbolic name stuff. (which will have to be |
44 |
|
extended soon to support stuff like "2*x + symbol + y" etc. cool |
45 |
|
stuff) |
46 |
|
|
47 |
|
Sprite (guest OS for DECstation emulation) |
48 |
|
x) Timing problems during bootup? |
49 |
|
|
50 |
|
The Device subsystem: |
51 |
|
x) allow devices to be moved and/or changed in size (down to a |
52 |
|
minimum size, etc, or up to a max size) |
53 |
|
x) keep track of interrupts and busses? actually, allowing any device |
54 |
|
to be a bus might be a nice idea |
55 |
|
x) refactor various clocks/nvram/cmos into one device? |
56 |
|
|
57 |
|
ARM: |
58 |
|
o) add ID for "i80321 600MHz rev 2 (XScale core)" |
59 |
|
o) make the ata controller usable for FreeBSD! |
60 |
|
x) zaurus for openbsd... |
61 |
|
|
62 |
|
PCI: |
63 |
|
x) add support for address fixups |
64 |
|
x) generalize the interrupt routing stuff (lines etc). this should |
65 |
|
be per machine? or per bus, that's better |
66 |
|
|
67 |
|
MacPPC: |
68 |
|
x) dev_zs / interrupts? |
69 |
|
x) adb controller; keyboard |
70 |
|
x) make OpenBSD/macppc work (PCI controller stuff) |
71 |
|
|
72 |
|
Network layer: |
73 |
|
o) DHCP (for Debian and BSD installers :-) |
74 |
|
o) increase performance |
75 |
|
o) don't rely on NetBSD-ish usage |
76 |
|
o) Multiple networks per emulation, and let different |
77 |
|
NICs in machines connect to different networks. |
78 |
|
o) many other issues: see src/net.c |
79 |
|
|
80 |
|
Busses: |
81 |
|
o) Redesign the entire "mainbus" concept! |
82 |
|
o) Busses should be placed in a hierarchical tree! |
83 |
|
o) Easily configurable interrupt routing in SMP systems. |
84 |
|
o) Specific clock/bus speeds, cpu speeds etc. |
85 |
|
o) Synchronization over network? or at least in dyntrans within |
86 |
|
one emulated machine |
87 |
|
o) dev->bus: TurboChannel, PCMCIA, ADB? |
88 |
|
|
89 |
|
Config file parser: |
90 |
|
o) Refresh/rewrite it :) |
91 |
|
o) Usage of any expression available through the debugger |
92 |
|
o) Expressions such as "add device" would be nice to be able |
93 |
|
to do on the command line manually. |
94 |
|
o) Allow machine() entries even if there is no emul() entry (but |
95 |
|
then don't allow any emul() entries at all). |
96 |
|
o) Support for running debugger commands (like the -c |
97 |
|
command line option) |
98 |
|
|
99 |
|
Floating point layer: |
100 |
|
o) make it common enough to be used by _all_ emulation modes |
101 |
|
o) non-IEEE modes (i.e. x86)? |
102 |
|
|
103 |
Userland emulation: |
Userland emulation: |
104 |
x) Lots of stuff. |
x) Lots of stuff; freebsd and netbsd (and linux?) syscalls. |
105 |
x) Dynamic linking? Hm. |
x) Dynamic linking? Hm. |
106 |

Misc: |
Sound: |
108 |

109 |
o) Easily configurable interrupt routing in SMP systems. |
x) add one or more sound cards as devices |
110 |
o) Specific clock/bus speeds, cpu speeds etc. |
