RE: [hatari-devel] Re:Microwire register value on Falcon

["Konador, Cyprian" <cyprian.konador@xxxxxx>]

Hi All,

Maybe someone can use my Microwire test (attached) on Falcon.

It writes value $4E2 to Microwire data reg. ( -12db master volume) and writes value $7FF to Microwire mask reg. and then reads 32 words from:
 - Microwire data reg. by cpu;
 - Microwire mask reg. by cpu; 
 - Microwire data reg. by blitter;
 - Microwire mask reg. by blitter.
Every test is done 4 times. Final result is written to file RESULT.BIN

Attached you can find source code, compiled program MCRW.PRG and my results for Hatari, 1040 STE, MegaSTE 8Mhz and MegaSTE 16Mhz+Cache.
There is also small html parser - MCRW.html. It works under Chrome 11, Firefox4 (HTML5 File API and Drag and Drop needed) - Just open that document in a web browser and drag&drop RESULT.BIN on it.

Thanks

BR
Cyprian

Hi,

I think it needs a few more tests here (especially for $ff8924).

For $ff8922, does it still read 0 after a write of a value != 0 in the register ?
I mean does it still read 0 after a MOVE.B #$A5,$FF8922.B (or any value you want instead of $A5).

For $FF8924, according to what I saw in team.prg (a soccer game that is supposed to run on STE and  Falcon), the program loops forever into :

$0397bc : 31fc 07ff 8924                       move.w    #$7ff,$ffff8924.w
$0397c2 : 0c78 07ff 8924                       cmpi.w    #$7ff,$ffff8924.w
$0397c8 : 66f2                                 bne.s     $397bc

I bypassed this by removing the microwire from the ioMemTabFalcon.c, but that's obviously not the good way to fix this (it was just for the test).
Again I would like to be sure that writing a value to $ff8924 should return this value instead of 0.

Could you do these 2 tests please ?

Regards

Laurent

Great, thanks for the test, Roger, I've fixed Hatari now accordingly.
