- BUG LIST FOR CLA v2
- ===================
- additions to craig.graham@newcastle.ac.uk
-
- [18/7/93]
- o The Logic Analyser Window has an intermitent display bug when updating
- as a background window in interactive simulation mode.
- I know what the problem is, but haven't got time to fix it yet.
-
- o There is a bug in the delete component routine but it doesn't show up
- often (but when it does it sh*ts on your design real bad). Haven't
- managed to characterise it yet - anyone who can please get in touch.
-
- [20/7/93]
- o The majority of the logic levels available from the Word Generator do
- nothing (HLZX) - sorry, they're there in readiness for the next release
- (I'm working on a more complex simulator at the moment that supports
- these but is to buggy to release right now).
-
- o Clocks in the word generator don't do anything - these will become the proper
- place for seting up clocked inputs, even for interactive simulation.
-
- [1/9/93]
- o At present the screen is double buffered - this means that if you are
- going to run CLA in a high graphics mode then you need a LOT of
- memory. To get an idea of the scale of this problem, 800*600*8bit mode
- on my 4 Meg Falcon (with NVDI loaded but GDOS turned off) will only
- allow circuits up to 9400 gates to be drawn....this ceases to be a
- problem in lower graphics modes (800*600*1bit, etc).
- The double buffering could be made switchable if anyone wants me to,
- this makes scrolling interactive mode simulation a lot slower but will
- be easy enough to implement.
-
- [14/11/93]
-
- o Only x1,x2 & x4 scalings work at the moment - x.25 & x.5 both display
- as x1. This is because I've used an integer for the scaling factor for speed
- - I'll fix this later.
-
- o CLA doesn't work in Falcon True colour mode - I'm not sure why.....it's a
- problem with the way the blit buffer is calculated I think...vqt_extend
- only returns a valid number of colours up to 32000(ish) & True colour mode
- has more......soloutions on a postcard please.
-
- [25/11/93]
-
- o There is a bug which can result in the system hanging - don't know why yet.
-
- [29/11/93]
-
- o The page size information is not saved with the rest of the block, and it
- doesn't work quite as it should anyway - ignore it for now.
-
- o Indicator bulbs are broken - use the logic analyser window or the active
- probe for now, until I've managed to fix them again.
