I've just released SweetAda 0.6. SweetAda is a lightweight development framework to create Ada systems on a wide range of machines. Please refer to https://www.sweetada.org. Downloads available @ https://sourceforge.net/projects/sweetada. Release notes ------------- - spurious entry core/last_chance_directory was not removed in the configuration.in for the core complex, and this causes a build failure in GPRbuild mode, corrected - Makefile.tc.in: new ADAC_SWITCHES_WARNING switches: -gnatw.q - (Activate warnings on questionable layout of record types) -gnatw_r - (Activate warnings for out-of-order record representation clauses) (unused) - Makefile.tc.in: added DISABLE_STACK_USAGE flag (some targets do not support stack usage computation, can be set from platform-level configuration.in) - menu-dialog.sh remains in menu until you exit explicitly (e.g., by pressing double-ESC), so you can perform various actions sequentially; if instead you specify an action as an argument in the command line then the behaviour is unchanged, exiting at once after execution - qemu-ifup.sh/qemu-ifdown.sh are now a single common copy in libutils directory; Dreamcast makeip.tcl/scramble.tcl are now merged in makecdrom.tcl; pc-x86-bootX.tcl moved as a single copy in share directory - package Definitions is now placed in modules directory - more error checking in various Tcl scripts - initial cleanup of cpus branch file layout, removed duplicated files - new target: SiFive HiFive1 Rev B, only able to blink the on-board RGB LEDs (needs OpenOCD to download the executable) - Synergy-S5D9: bsp.ads got accidentally deleted, corrected - Synergy-S5D9: added SCI definitions so that it can output something on SCI (UART mode, very primitive) - partial rewriting of the NE2000 driver, more register definitions - removed all ugly, unpleasant, ill-designed temporary code from exceptions.adb in PC-x86 interrupt handling (which now processes, e.g., raw TCP/IP traffic from applications.adb); the same in Amiga-FS-UAE - some changes in Ethernet FIFO queue to make it more efficient - ATmega328P (ArduinoUno): more register definitions, timers and general purpose registers; added some low-level templates; deleted unuseful subprogram in proprietary core unit and its dependency on console - drivers/pc: - revised 8254 PIT; PIT_Counter0_Init now uses MODE 2 (rate generator) instead of MODE 3 (square wave generator) as a system timer - simple stub for RTC handling - IrqX renamed to PIC_IrqX - Irq0 aliased to PIT_Interrupt - Irq8 aliased to RTC_Interrupt - added -mno-red-zone to GCC switches in x86-64 - use rounding instead of floor integer division when computing timing counts, where appropriate There is also a new release of QEMU emulator -- 20210517 -- providing QEMU 6.0.0 for Linux and Windows platforms, and QEMU 5.2.0 for OS X. The OS X version should work on El Capitan (tested on a VM, someone reported problems on later versions ). Quick notes ----------- As usual, download the three packages core, RTS and LibGCC (since many changes are system-wide), and please save your work before overwrite the filesystem. G
