Had to add check to get cur_buff status and wait to send payload until
it's empty. Still need to add timeout check as it'll spin forever if
there is a problem and it's never empty...
device should be able to handle buffer sizes smaller than usb transfer
but this probably isn't true if the first two bytes are stuffed into setup
packet. Currently relies on end of (upto) 8 byte transfer to fill buffer.
MAKECHECKS would verify we don't overflow buffer.. Still kind of a half
thought out idea unfortunately.
Not sure how I thought flash operations were previously working as there
were many bugs I had to correct to support flash operations properly.
Operations module appears to be working so far, still need to pass
functions to operation module.
Flash operations verify PRG-ROM 32KB writes working with file comparison.
Currently dependent on extra buffer status reads to delay next buffer.
I think the write operation is taking longer than the usb load operation.
Potentially due to slow code of operation module, but also possible I
had only been testing with slow eeepc linux machine previously. Perhaps
combination of both.
Still need to correct issue so added buff status delays aren't needed.
buffer manager should be able to key off of status==USB_FULL but that
doesn't seem to work. When trying I don't always get the same number of
buffers to get flashed so appear to have a race condition or something
not properly intialized..?
Need sort out sending of USB STALL if buffer isn't ready to be loaded yet.
This commit is mainly for documentation/reference purposes as things are
kind of working, but buggy/unstable.
AVR Memory Usage
----------------
Device: atmega164a
Program: 6486 bytes (39.6% Full)
(.text + .data + .bootloader)
Data: 679 bytes (66.3% Full)
(.data + .bss + .noinit)
Things appear to be working with some early testing. Assumption that oper_info elements
are aligned in SRAM linearly appears to hold true. Researching this I found it probably
was true, but can't be certain esp if gets changed in the future to not be purely 8byte
sized elements.
Still need to provide means to decode function numbers info function pointers.
Need to verify page programmed successfully as it currently just continues even if unable to
flash proper data. Need to make write page utilize variables for bank address based on mapper
and/or memory as currently doesn't flash CHR-ROM due to $5555 $2AAA being above address space
of CHR-ROM
Found bug with setting map_n_part due to >/< instead of >=/<= for setting called_buff...
Was also setting mem_type and part backwards in dump.c
The had issues with usb timing out for more than 1 buffer read back
Problem was due to lack of usbPoll while dumping during double buffering
Adding usbPoll to page read to correct issue
Appears to be issue with dumping first byte of this choplifter cart I'm testing with.
Not so certain it's my bug though.. No matter what I do the first byte reads
back 0x78 and copy I downloaded has 0x00. Setting my first byte to 0x00 also
creates proper CRC32 according to bootgod's database. So need to look into this more
to figure out what's going on.
Detecting mirroring code working and tested
Started working on buffer operations from host
Current code compiles but not yet at point where can start testing
Adding cpu page read to nes.c to have faster dumping operations.
moving enums to shared as gets used quite a bit communicating between device and host.
