First aid for problems with WarpOS
----------------------------------
- Problem:
Every demo which opens the powerpc.library, crashes.
- Solution:
- On systems without PPC board, the env variable 'noPPC' must
absolutely be set to a value unequal zero. After that, all
demos which are able to run without PPC (but which try to
open the powerpc.library) should run.
- If the 68060.library of the PowerUp distribution of Phase5
was not installed of if this library causes problems, the
problem can be solved with the env variable 'boardtype'.
Owner of a CyberStormPPC board should set the variable to 2,
owner of a developer board to 1.
- Problem:
If a demo is started several times in the shell, crashes occur.
- Solution:
The problem can occur in conjunction with the WShell, which frees
signals that were not allocated by itself. The problem can be
solved with the env variable 'earlyterm'. If this variable is set
to 1, the problems should be solved. Restrictions: no global settings
can be made in the shell, which could affect the PPC, so the tools
'stackppc' and 'changemmu' don't work anymore. To set the PPC stack
size, you have to use the command 'stack' (the PPC stack is about
double the stack size of the 68K stack).
- Problem:
Since version 1.6 the voxelspace demo doesn't work with Picasso96
anymore.
- Solution:
The voxelspace supports the OS3.0 multibuffering for Picasso96
since V1.6 to achieve a better display quality. Therefore it is
required that an appropriate new version of Picasso96 is installed.
