— command lines can be recalled from the history buffer with a VT52/VT102 up
arrow/down arrow command. Requires VT emulation to be enabled on the
terminal emulator program.
— command lines can be edited with VTxx sequences: left and right arrows move
left and right in the command line; DEL deletes to the end of the line
A.2
Version 13.0
November 1, 2002
1. Extensive rewrite to all commands to use the interactive shell and the command line
parser it provides.
The parser and tokenizer toolbox is gone (arg_tb.*, rfs_tb.*, tok.*, tok_tb.*, help.*);
adding and modifying commands is vastly simpler.
2. Networking support for the RealTek 8239 is added.
TELNET to DINK supported
TFTP downloads supported.
3. Default baud rate of 115200 changed.
4. Most IO is channeled through “iolib.c”, facilitating IO redirection for VDINK and
other platforms.
5. Similarly, most commands use “gme.c” drivers for memory and IO access,
allowing VDINK to emulate them. EDINK may also.
6. ENV is now case-insensitive; “VERBOSE” and “verbose” are equivalent.
7. RESET_BASE is no longer needed; the reset base is detected via a ‘blr next’
sequence, and is globally saved.
8. More information is made available for Linux via the DINK_TRANSFER table.
9. IDE track-level drivers are added. A tiny filesystem is also provided allowing
booting from disk (however, this filesystem is not compatible with anything).
10.More flexible boot options, including disk and network booting.
11.MPC8245-based systems set the secondary flash to 8-bit mode, and the flash
algorithms detect and use this. MPC8240 is still 64-bit, though.
12.Upon startup, the PCI bus is enumerated and enabled.
13.Flash programming for MVP and PMCs updated with blank check skips, overwrite
skips, etc.
14.Support for MVP X3 including background tasks, easier memory optimization.
15.Register display (‘rd’) can display FPRs and VPRs using various floating point
and/or byte/word/long sizes.
16.The RTC clock setting syntax is free-form and works from the command line,
instead of prompting.
