Preliminary List of Code to develop

Hey guys!

I was contacted by gentleman who was asking if there was any list of things to code (a tasks list) for the computer. At least for its early development and functioning and it occurred to me that it could actually be a good idea to post one and start looking into it.

I understand that till we have actual hardware, it is going to be a bit of pain... But, actually, from the time there is a board (Somewhere in August) things could get moving pretty quickly.

At this point, for anybody interested... Anything to do with the SuperIO chip could actually be implemented ahead of time, since the documentation abound for it and since it is register level is 100% compatible with a PC, it ought to be even better.

So, here the preliminary list, I probably forgot a lot of things, but let's get started:

KERNEL:

--SUPER IO

PS2 Keyboard Interrupt Management

PS2 Keyboard Low-Level API

PS2 Mouse Interrupt Management

PS2 Mouse Interrupt Low-Level API

3.5" Floppy Low Level Controller - Init

3.5" Floppy Low-Level API

Serial Port Initialization

Serial Port Low-Level API

Parallel Port Initialization

Parallel Port Low-Level API

(CIA0)

(C64) Keyboard Layout Interrupt Management

Timer1/2 Low-Level API (This is Tied up the Interrupt Controller)

(CIA1)

IEC Controller (1541/1571/1581) Support

Timer3/4 Low-Level API (This is Tied up to the Interrupt Controller)

(RTC)

Real-Time Clock Interrupt Management (This is Tied up to the Interrupt Controller)

--GAVIN

Memory Manager Low-Level API DMA Controller Low-Level API

--VICKY

Graphic Engine Init

Graphic Engine Low-Level API Interrupt Controller Init

Interrupt Controller Low-Level API

--BEATRIX

Sequencer Init

Sequencer Low-Level API

SID Init

SID Low-Level API

YM3812 Init

YM3812 Low-Level API

Disk Operating System

(IEC Connector) CBM Disk Support Command

(Local Floppy)

CBM Disk Support Command + Extended Command

FAT32 Disk Support Command + Extended Command

Monitor/Text Editor

Tom seems to be on top of that one...

BASIC Interpreter...

Well this is a big chunk that would need to be divided, but Tom is the one to kind of leading the effort (or will be I am sure) ;o) Sorry Tom to put so much pressure on you!
