# I/O bus
|
|
|
|
The I/O bus is accessed using the `in` and `out` instructions.
|
|
Every access is 32 bits wide; there is no byte-addressing on the I/O bus and
|
|
addresses don't have to be aligned to multiples of four.
|
|
|
|
When a peripheral has multiple instances (e.g. 32 display overlays, 4 disks),
|
|
the lowest bits of the address usually indicate the instance number, while
|
|
higher bits indicate the function to be performed.

## 0x00000000: Serial port
|
|
|
|
### 0x00: Data register
|
|
|
|
Writing to this register outputs the lowest 8 bits as a byte on the debug
|
|
serial port (stdout in case of the fox32 emulator). If necessary, the CPU is
|
|
stalled long enough to ensure that the byte is output rather than discarded.
|
|
|
|
Reading from this register gets a byte of input from the serial port, if
|
|
available, or zero otherwise.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 0x80000000: Display
|
|
|
|
The display controller manages a background framebuffer and 32 overlays,
|
|
and composes them into the picture seen on screen.
|
|
|
|
The background framebuffer is located at the fixed RAM address 0x2000000, or 32 MiB.
|
|
The screen resolution is 640x480 (307200 pixels, 1228800 bytes).
|
|
|
|
The pixel format is RGBA. The alpha channel determines transparency in overlays
|
|
insofar that a non-zero alpha value causes a pixel to be fully opaque and a
|
|
zero alpha value causes it to be fully transparent.
|
|
|
|
When multiple overlays are active at a specific pixel position, the highest
|
|
numbered overlay that provides an opaque pixel "wins": Its pixel RGB value is
|
|
output on screen.
|
|
|

### 0x200-0x21f: Overlay buffer pointer
|
|
|
|
RAM address of the framebuffer for this overlay.
|
|
|
|
### 0x300-0x31f: Overlay enable
|
|
|
|
- Write non-zero to enable this overlay, zero to disable
|
|
- Read 1 if enabled, 0 of disabled
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 0x80000400: Mouse
|
|
|
|
The mouse position and button states can be read and written, but hardware may
|
|
change them on incoming mouse events.
|
|
|
|
### 0x00: Button states

### 0x00: Get key event (read-only)
|
|
|
|
Read this register to get a key event from the key event queue, or 0 if none is
|
|
currently available.

|
## 0x80001000: Disk
|
|
|
|
The disk controller supports four disk ports. Each of them may be connected to
|
|
a disk (or not) at any time.
|
|
|
|
Disks are organized in sectors of 512 bytes each.
|
|
|
|
### 0x80001000-0x80001003: Disk size (read-only)
|
|
|
|
Read this register to get the disk size in bytes.
|
|
|
|
### 0x80002000-0x80002003: Buffer pointer
|
|
|
|
Address of RAM buffer to be used for read/write transfers.
|
|
|
|
### 0x80003000-0x80003003: Initiate disk read (write-only)
|
|
|
|
Write a sector number to this register to initate a disk read from the
|
|
specified sector. The CPU is stalled until the read completes.
|
|
|
|
### 0x80004000-0x80004003: Initiate disk write (write-only)
|
|
|
|
Write a sector number to this register to initate a disk write to the specfied
|
|
sector. The CPU is stalled until the write completes.
|
|
|
|
### 0x80005000-0x80005003: Remove disk (write-only)
|
|
|
|
Write any value to this register to remove or eject the specified disk.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## 0x80010000: Power controller
|
|
|
|
### 0x00: Poweroff
|
|
|
|
Write 0 to this register to power the computer off (or terminate the emulator).
|
|
|
|
Poweroff does not take effect immediately, so software should do something safe
|
|
(such as spinning in a loop) after triggering the poweroff.
