This is becuase DebugStub (DS) # MUST be: # - As simple as possible # - Interact as minimal as possible wtih normal Cosmos code because # the debugstub must *always* work even if the normal code is fubarred # # The serial port that is used for DS should be 'hidden' from Cosmos main # so that Cosmos main pretends it does not exist. # # IRQs would create a clash/mix of code. # This does make the serial code in DebugStub inefficient, but its well worth # the benefits received by following these rules. # # Baud rate is set to 115200. Likely our code could not exceed this rate # anyways the way it is written and there are compatibility issues on some # hardware above this rate. # # We assume a minimum level of a 16550A, which should be no problem on any # common hardware today. VMWare emulates the 16550A # # We do not handle flow control for outbound data (DS --> DC). # The DebugConnector (DC, the code in the Visual Studio side) however is threaded # and easily should be able to receive data faster than we can send it. # Most things are transactional with data being sent only when asked for, but # with tracing we do send a data directly. # # Currently there is no inbound flow control either (DC --> DS) # For now we assume all commands in bound are 16 bytes or less to ensure # that they fit in the FIFO. Commands in DS must wait for a command ID ACK # before sending another command. # See notes in ProcessCommand. # # http:#www.nondot.org/sabre/os/files/Communication/ser_port.txt # Todo Auto params # Todo ebp frame ptr auto etc # Input - Address on stack as x32 procedure InitSerial2 { # Disable interrupts DX = ESP[4] DX + 1 AL = 0 Port[DX] = AL # Enable DLAB (set baud rate divisor) DX = ESP[4] DX + 3 AL = $80 Port[DX] = AL # 0x01 - 0x00 - 115200 # 0x02 - 0x00 - 57600 # 0x03 - 0x00 - 38400 # # Set divisor (lo byte) DX = ESP[4] AL = $01 Port[DX] = AL # hi byte DX = ESP[4] DX + 1 AL = $00 Port[DX] = AL # 8N1 DX = ESP[4] DX + 3 AL = $03 Port[DX] = AL # Enable FIFO, clear them # Set 14-byte threshold for IRQ. # We dont use IRQ, but you cant set it to 0 # either.
