Re: [hatari-devel] Hatari Falcon 060 emulation observations

Hi all,

After a few investigations on the CT60 TOS, I manage to go further easily :

Booting hatari in 060 mode with CT60 TOS without changing anything always stops with the message "no SDRAM"

If I add a Breakpoint here (in the ct60_configure_sdram function)

00e9adb2 : 6a00 00b8                          bpl       $e9ae6c

and I change PC like this :

r pc=$e9ae6c

Hatari goes much much far :

SDRAM 64 MB detected          (((which is the default value when all I/O registers $F2xx0000 are set to 0)))

Boot V1.03c 2005 July

keyboard OK
wait 30 seconds for the floppy A
SCSI 0.1 ... no answer
SCSI 1.1 ... no answer
SCSI 2.1 ... no answer
SCSI 3.1 ... no answer
SCSI 4.1 ... no answer
SCSI 5.1 ... no answer
SCSI 6.1 ... no answer
SCSI 7.1 ... no answer

IDE 0.0
And here I got : EXCEPTION PROCESSING 2: Access Fault and a debugger message appears with the registers.


To bypass the SDram I2C protocol detection without patching the TOS itself, it seems we can just patch one instruction directly in hatari's rom by changing the instruction "bpl $e9ae6c"  to  "bra  $e9ae6c".

If we want to get the correct memory size, we'll have to feed the correct values to $f2xx0000 adresses (memory size, memory bank organisation, ...). We can set these values when hatari boots in 060 mode and TTram is > 0.

I continue to have a look at it and see if I can understand the Exception.

Regards
Laurent

a TOS version that emulates the FPU opcodes missing from 060...

Are you planning on looking into that?

for thoses interested in patching tos ct60 (to change sdram check for example), note that the sources are here : https://github.com/mikrosk/ct60tos this can give better insigth on which tests are done instead of just disassembking the ct60 tos.
