    Hello Guillaume,

    I know, it comes belated, but at least many thanks to you for your great website!

    But of course, a question follows. :)
    Did you really compile your RayTracer with
    unsigned char img[800*600];
    in the common.c file on a 1MB AVM card?

    The highest value I can apply with 1MB is
    unsigned char img[400*150];

    Or did you apply some special tricks? :)

    Best regards
    Matsche

    Hi Mike,
    thanks for sharing your new acquisitions. :)

    And once more again, many thanks to Øyvind!

    Mike, I've problems to compile the Flight Simulator.
    I always get
    "...
    Compiling (T8,HALT) "ring.occ" to "ring.tco"
    ...
    Read 3628 lines of source, syntax tree occupies 460440 bytes
    Fatal-oc- Not enough memory to compile this program
    make: *** [Makefile:42: ring.tco] Fehler 1"

    How much memory is nessecary to compile the Flight Sim?
    I tried it with
    OCCAM=iskip -i 1; oc
    because my root transputer has only 1MB and the 2nd one is a B419 with 4MB .
    Is this method even possible for compiling?
    I've Nothing found about this way.
    Is there a way to define the Memspace for the 2nd Transputer?

    Best regards
    Matsche

    Yes, it works with 800x600 = 480.000 bytes, and it fits in 1MB.
    Strange that you can only use 400×150 = 60.000 bytes...

    Do we compile using the same C compiler ?

    Guillaume.

    Yes, thats the question.
    Sorry for the lacking infos.

    I use D7214c Ansi C tools under linux.
    Hmmm, do you use the D713A with the exe cross compiler?
    Maybe then I could understand why.

    Hi Matsche.

    How much memory is nessecary to compile the Flight Sim?

    I don't now exact values but 2M ram is sufficient.

    I tried it with
    OCCAM=iskip -i 1; oc
    because my root transputer has only 1MB and the 2nd one is a B419 with 4MB . Is this method even possible for compiling?

    No. When you call "oc x.occ" you will (highly probably) call in reality "iserver /SR /SE /SS /SC oc.btl x.occ
    So you kick off iskip with your reset :-)

    This sequence works well on my side with the following setup:

    C:\Transputer\Projects\fs\fs.occ>rspy -m
    # Part rt Link0 Link1 Link2 Link3 RAM@cycle
    0 T425A 20 HOST 1-2 2-1 0-3 4K@1,128K@3;
    1 T2 20 ... ... 0-1 ... 2K@1.
    2 T425A 20 ... 0-2 ... ... 4K@1,28K@3,2016K@4,4K@3;

    set IBOARDSIZE=#201000

    iserver /SR
    iskip 2
    timex iserver /SE /SS /SC C:\Transputer\d72uni\itools\oc.btl ring.occ /O bin\ring.tco /T8 /Y /N /A /U
    Elapsed time: 36.524 seconds

    Is there a way to define the Memspace for the 2nd Transputer?

    The IBOARDSIZE is the value queried by oc.btl. As it now runs on the transputer Nr 2 you have to specify the amount of ram on this module.

    Kind regards
    Mike

    Hi Mike,

    thanks a lot for your answer.
    Will try it ASAP.

    Thanks for being such an enthusiastic group out there! I guess I didn't know the real value of it all. It all started at https://groups.google.com/g/comp.sys.transputer/c/SN9O-02dQkU. I know this leaves most of the work to you!

    @Mike
    Yes the
    "Fatal-oc- Not enough memory to compile this program" error has gone.
    But now there is a new one...
    But this is another tale. More later. :)


    @Øyvind
    With our gifts you have sweetened our lockdown time. :)

    Once more, many thanks!
