[Ql-Users] SMSQE 3.41

2024-05-23 Thread Wolfgang Lenerz via Ql-Users

Hi,


We can increase the hardware receive FIFO size of the UART if you think
there is a problem. The Qzero FPGA has sufficient resources.

We'd need to find out how long the SMSQ/E SD card driver will disable
the serial interrupt - if it actually does.



Yes it does.

What happens with data trickling in from something like a serial port, 
is that it is put into a buffer, i.e. the slave blocks. When one slave 
block is full (it has the same size as a sector on the card, i.e. 512 
bytes), it is flagged as being ready to be written back to the disk (or 
card). At the next poll interrupt the slave block then gets written out. 
During that time interrupts are disabled (status reg = $2200). If, for 
some reason, several slave blocks can be written out at once, they will 
go in the same interrupt.


Question: I don't use sernet, but I do know that some use it. Has 
anybody ever lost data transferred to the Q68 via sernet?

Hi all,

SMSQE 3.41 is out.

This is a bugfix release for SMSQmulator and Q68 - there are no 
changes for other machines.


The code for the Q68 is also the one users of Qimsi Gold or Qzero (if 
there are any) should use - it is the same code for all three machines.


The files can be found, as usual, on https://wlenerz.com/smsqe/

Have fun!

Wolfgang

Hi Wolfgang,

Downloaded the update  must of been the browser cache.




In case of future problems, when you have the download URL, say 
"https://whatever.org/downloads/someFile.xxx"; then change the link to 
read "https://whatever.org/downloads/someFile.xxx?id=123456"; (added 
"?id=123456" to the URL) and this will cause it to read afresh from the 
URL and not use the cache.


Obviously, if "id=123456" failed, you would need to use a different 
number on the retry to avoid the cache again.


It also doesn't have to be "id" this would also work 
"https://whatever.org/downloads/someFile.xxx?norman=plonker";! ;-)


You just change the parameters after the URL to bypass the cache. I 
wrote a Javascript utility some years ago at work which generated a 
random URL in this manner when people complained about getting the rong 
versions. It worked!



Cheers,
Norm.
