[PATCH 0/2] cbvga text emulation and software cursor
by Kevin O'Connor 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

This is a resend of two previous patches that improve the text emulation of the "coreboot native vga" SeaVGABIOS support. The main difference in this version is that the support requires both a compile time define (CONFIG_VGA_EMULATE_TEXT) as well as runtime enablement. The net effect of this is that the code wont try to blink the cursor if a bootloader explicitly switches into graphics mode.

[PATCH 00/11] USB interface cleanup and simplification
by Kevin O'Connor 27 Oct '14

27 Oct '14

The first six patches in this series make the internal usb naming convention a little more standard. (Use a "usb_" prefix on all exported functions and don't use camel case on exported functions.) The remaining five patches convert the USB controller drivers to a single pipe "realloc" function for managing pipe allocations and freeing. This should make it easier for xhci to implement pipe freeing (not implemented in this series). -Kevin Kevin O'Connor (11): usb: Rename ?hci_control() to ?hci_send_control() usb: Rename usb_getFrameExp() to usb_get_period() usb: Rename findEndPointDesc() to usb_find_desc() usb: Rename send_default_control() to usb_send_default_control() usb: Rename free_pipe() to usb_free_pipe() usb: Clarify usb freelist manipulations xhci: Change xhci_update_pipe() to xhci_realloc_pipe() and use for alloc too uhci: Export uhci_realloc_pipe() instead of uhci_alloc_pipe() ohci: Export ohci_realloc_pipe() instead of ohci_alloc_pipe() ehci: Export ehci_realloc_pipe() instead of ehci_alloc_pipe() usb: Use usb_realloc_pipe for pipe alloc, update, and free. src/hw/usb-ehci.c | 17 +++++---- src/hw/usb-ehci.h | 9 +++-- src/hw/usb-hid.c | 6 +-- src/hw/usb-hub.c | 8 ++-- src/hw/usb-msc.c | 10 ++--- src/hw/usb-ohci.c | 17 +++++---- src/hw/usb-ohci.h | 9 +++-- src/hw/usb-uas.c | 8 ++-- src/hw/usb-uhci.c | 17 +++++---- src/hw/usb-uhci.h | 9 +++-- src/hw/usb-xhci.c | 18 ++++++--- src/hw/usb-xhci.h | 12 +++--- src/hw/usb.c | 109 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------- src/hw/usb.h | 22 ++++++----- 14 files changed, 149 insertions(+), 122 deletions(-) -- 1.9.3

[PATCH] vgabios: Add software cursor capability
by Kevin O'Connor 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

Add mechanism for drawing a cursor to the framebuffer to implement a cursor in software. The timer interrupt is "hooked" so that the cursor can blink. This can be useful for "coreboot native vga". Signed-off-by: Kevin O'Connor <kevin(a)koconnor.net> --- This is similar to the software cursor patches I sent earlier in the week. This time I've used the timer interrupt to both improve the drawing speed and to enable cursor blinking. This version of the patch also creates a small underline cursor instead of inverting the entire character cell.

[PATCH 1/2] vgabios: Set cursor shape fixes
by Kevin O'Connor 23 Oct '14

23 Oct '14

The "cursor scaling" mode is determined by the first bit of the video_ctl bda value, not the modeset_ctl value. Also, on a set_scan_lines() call, the shape should be set to lines-3/lines-2 and the shape must be set after char_height has been updated. The existing cursor shape code matches the legacy "lgpl vgabios", but the behavior doesn't match bios documentation nor observations with an ati vga bios.

[PATCH] Use 32bit memcpy in int1587 when applicable
by Kevin O'Connor 21 Oct '14

21 Oct '14

If the amount of data to be copied is an even number of four, then copy the data in four byte chunks. This 32bit copy is more efficient, in particular when copying to/from memory mapped io. This should improve the performance of framebuffer draws in cbvga SeaVGABIOS.

[PATCH 0/2] Software cursor for cbvga
by Kevin O'Connor 18 Oct '14

18 Oct '14

These two patches implement a software based cursor for the "coreboot native vga" seavgabios implementation. It implements the cursor by inverting the pixels in the framebuffer at the character cell that contains the cursor. This is a bit of a failed experiment - I do not intend to commit it to the main git repo as is. The feature works, but it seems to slow down screen writing significantly. I'm posting this here in case anyone is interested in playing with it. I've also put this up at: https://github.com/KevinOConnor/seabios/tree/testing-cbvga I suspect the reason for the slow down is that the majority of character writes to the screen end up moving the cursor, and on each cursor move it's required to remove the inverse in the old position and then add the inverse in the new position. The inverse is implemented as an xor which requires a cell read followed by a cell write. Thus, a typical character write used to require writing one cell's worth of data to the framebuffer, but with this patch takes 5 times more IO (a read/write, a write, a read/write). If I get time I may play with other approaches. (One I was thinking of is hooking the BIOS timer irq and only enabling the cursor from that irq - which should dramatically reduce the amount of cursor updates when lots of characters are being rendered in bulk.) -Kevin Kevin O'Connor (2): vgabios: Add stubs for software cursor enable/disable vgabios: Add software cursor capability vgasrc/Kconfig | 5 +++++ vgasrc/vgabios.c | 40 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------ vgasrc/vgabios.h | 2 ++ vgasrc/vgafb.c | 49 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 90 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) -- 1.9.3
