WhichAmiga Update for the AC68080page  1 2

Hello folks,
 
  I've updated WhichAmiga so that it can detects the Apollo AC68080.
 
  This mod is based on the free to use and modify sources of WhichAmiga 1.3.23 by Harry "Piru" Sintonen.
 
 
 
  Revision note (public name: WhichAmiga 1.3.23b) :
 
  ;  800    6th Jul 2019: APOLLO-Team modification proposal
  ;        Added AC68080 CPU Detection code
  ;        Added Picasso96 CardName display
 
  It comes with 2 features, AC68080 CPU and FPU detection, and the display of the P96 driver (.card) name, when found.
 
 
 
  Screenshot :
 
 
 
 
 
  Remark:
  Latest WhichAmiga is version 1.3.25 but sources are not public, not as i know, at least.

What's different :

CPU: can detect and display the 080, and the 080 revision id.

FPU: can detect and display the 080fpu.

Graphics system: can display the .card name

Other custom chip(s) : not an update, only a remark, Paula (rev 1) stands for Pamela chip.

As the Vampire is not recognized by Exec, I guess Exec is being patched early for whichAmiga to work.

Such as the 68060.library does, the 080 support library does.
 
Exec does not know the MC68060, and the AC68080.
 
 
 
Look at the "(ATTN: 0x847f)" in the VControl output in the screenshot below :
 
 
 
 
 
  Execbase->AttnFlags
  $847f = %00000000000000001000010001111111 = 010,020,030,040,881,882,040FPU,080
 
 
 
  Note:
The AttnFlags does not expose the 060 bit (7) on purpose.

When the 060 bit is set some stuff could eventually assumes that the CPU could not supports some 68040 features such as the DIV64 or MUL64 instructions which the 080 supports. Just as examples, there are others too.

Isn’t 3.1.4 we’ll aware of the 060?

Cant tell i do not use 3.1.4 but that changes nothing.

The Vampire handles cleanly the AttnFlags.

where do we acquire the 68080.library ?

you don't need cpu library for the missing instructions with 080. It covers all from 000 to 080.

INFORMATION NOTE

Link of the archive has been delete/removed.

The proposal of the update is currentely being discussed with the author of WhichAmiga. More informations to come.

So 080 support will become official?

Way to go!

From what we've seen, it's in a good way, indeed ;-)

I'm following up on this to see if there is any result of discussions. From what I've seen I haven't found any new copy of WhichAmiga

Piru did remove all WhichAmiga binaries around, even on Aminet.

That's depressing then.
I'd love to grab the spatch again for the WhichAmiga again cause I lost that to time.

Maybe because it is based on the CBM code as a basis?

I have the latest version of WhichAmiga 1.4 extended which was uploaded to Aminet.
I managed to get hold of the archive before it's removal.
 
Any requests please email me: acegent2907@optusnet.com.au 
Short:        ShowConfig kind of tool. V1.4
Author:      Harry "Piru" Sintonen and Wrangler
Uploader:    wrangler491@gmail.com  Type:        util/moni
Version:      1.4
Architecture: m68k-amigaos >= 1.1

This is an extended version of the excellent WhichAmiga program by Harry
"Piru" Sintonen which adds to the features of WhichAmiga and corrects some
bugs.  All credit to Piru for creating such a great program!

The base source code is from WhichAmiga 1.3.23.  The changes are:

    * Detects DMAC and its revision in all A3000 class machines
    * Detects a DSP3210 chip
    * Identifies the AA3000 and AA3000+
    * New CPU speed measurement, which should work on ACA cards now.
    * Correctly measures the speed of heavily upgraded Phase 5 PPC cards which
      WarpOS understates
    * Correctly identifies PCI PPC CPUs
    * Calculates speed of 750FX CPU even if under-/over-clocked
    * Correctly calculates 68k CPU speed when PCI PPC is running
    * Shows the local PPC memory size on PCI PPC cards
    * Identifies KS and Workbench 3.1.4, 3.2 and 3.2.1
    * Avoids writing a value to the RTC chip register and then immediately
      reading back again, which can lead to undefined behaviour
    * Traps and defuses an illegal instruction exception on some machines
      when running WhichAmiga a second time
    * Corrected a bug in the bus error exception code that created an
      infinite loop sometimes.
    * Fixed a bug that caused a hang on machines with 68030 + MMU
    * Some other small tweaks

Additional/changed code is Copyright © 2022 Wrangler, all v1.3.23 code
remains Copyright © 1995-2001 PitPlane Productions

Note that WhichAmiga does some pretty edgy things for its tests.  This means
that it will crash or hang some machines - there are too many hardware
combinations to make sure WhichAmiga is crash-free on all of them.  It is
always a good idea to reset your Amiga after running WhichAmiga.

November 2022

Below is the original readme from WhichAmiga 1.3.23:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

WhichAmiga is yet another ShowConfig like tool, except it's highly
sophisticated and is capable of determining which Amiga model you're
running.

This is a public source code release. See WhichAmiga.guide/history.

  Known bugs:

- has some PAL/NTSC timing problems, can give wrong CPU/FPU MHz.
- does only detect 8372b/8375 if 2mb chip mem.
- random crashes on some systems have been reported. be sure you have
  saved all your work saved before your run WhichAmiga!
- always report 68EC030 if 68030mmu is not in use.
- give too low CPU MHz for overclocked 68000 and 68010 systems.

  WhichAmiga main features include:

- Recognizes following Amiga models: Amiga 1000, old Amiga 500, Amiga 500,
  Amiga 500+, Amiga 600, Amiga 1200, Amiga 1400, Amiga 2000, Amiga 2500,
  Amiga 3000, Amiga 3000UX, Amiga 3000 Tower, Amiga 4000, Amiga 4000 Tower,
  CD³², CDTV and MacroSystems' DraCo (Amiga-clone). They aren't all tested,
  though... ;)
· Amiga 1500(+) isn't really separate Amiga model, it's Amiga 2000 with two
  floppy drives. Amiga 1500(+)'s were sold in GB.

- Recognizes UAE emulated Amiga.

- Recognizes MorphOS m68k emulation.

- Recognizes following 68k CPU models: 68000, 68010, 68EC020, 68020,

- Calculates clock frequency for 68k CPU. Should now always work on
  040 and 060 (1.3.x).

- Recognizes following PowerPC CPU models: 602, 603, 604, 603e, 603p and
  604e. Also shows PowerPC processor clock speed, revision and bus clock
  speed (on both PowerUP and WarpUP).

  0-2/3-4), OCS Denise, ECS Denise, AGA Lisa, AAA Lisa, Paula 8364,
  Akiko, Ramsey, Gary and Gayle.  Chips' revision information is
  displayed if available.
