  • Added changes so that the Console DELQA diagnostic (>>>TEST 82) will succeed.
  • Added DELQA-T (aka DELQA Plus) device emulation support.
  • Added dropped frame statistics to record when the receiver discards received packets due to the receiver being disabled, or due to the XQ device’s packet receive queue being full.
  • Fixed bug in receive processing when we’re not polling. This could cause receive processing to never be activated again if we don’t read all available packets via eth_read each time we get the opportunity.
  • Added the ability to Coalesce received packet interrupts. This is enabled by SET XQ POLL=DELAY=nnn where nnn is a number of microseconds to delay the triggering of an interrupt when a packet is received.
  • Added SET XQ POLL=DISABLE (aka SET XQ POLL=0) to operate without polling for packet read completion.
  • Changed the sanity and id timer mechanisms to use a separate timer unit so that transmit and recieve activities can be dealt with by the normal xq_svc routine.
  • Dynamically determine the timer polling rate based on the calibrated tmr_poll and clk_tps values of the simulator.
  • Enabled the SET XQ POLL to be meaningful if the simulator currently doesn’t support idling.
  • Changed xq_debug_setup to use sim_debug instead of printf so that all debug output goes to the same place.
  • Restored the call to xq_svc after all successful calls to eth_write to allow receive processing to happen before the next event service time. This must have been inadvertently commented out while other things were being tested.

  • Corrected SELFTEST command, enabling use by VMS 3.7, VMS 4.7, and Ultrix 1.1 (Dave Hittner)
