Clock emulation in virtual board

Alexander Wagner — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 06:20:25 -0000

Hi!

The virtual board should have an option to announce the availability of the clock on connection of an interface. Unfortunately this presence is only announced once a time is set which can only happen after the connection of the frontend to the virtual board.

Fixed in dgtdrv by introduction of checkforclock command but I guess a real board with a real clock will announce the presence of the clock upon startup as well.

Error in board rotation handling

Alexander Wagner — Mon, 05 Feb 2007 16:12:49 -0000

If the board is used "upside down" (aka clock to white's right) the routines _dumpBoard() and dgtnixGetBoard() do not return the square names in their logical order but in the physical order. That is what logically shoud be A1 is returned as H8. In the initial setup the black pieces are placed on the first rank, the pawns on the second whereas the white pieces and pawns occupy the 7th and 8th rank.

dgtnix should return the logical board layout like it does for adding and removing pieces already.

x86_64 compilation error

Felipe Bergo — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 18:24:43 -0000

dgtnix lacks the -fPIC flag for compiling its shared library. On 32-bit machines this is harmless, but in x86_64 (amd64) the compilation fails with

/usr/bin/ld: dgtnix.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

adding -fPIC to the end of CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and to the start of LFLAGS in the Makefile fixes it.

Address mispelled in constant name

Felipe Bergo — Tue, 23 Jan 2007 18:22:51 -0000

the constant DGTNIX_BUSADRESS_STRING in dgtnix.h should be DGTNIX_BUSADDRESS_STRING

(the old should also be kept for backwards-compatility purposes, of course)
