A valable source of informations, thanks for your work !

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 ?

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!

Hi!

Also the whole Occam 2.1 toolset (D7405A) is now online (+1330 pages!).

PS: Some documents are also for the ANSI C Toolset (D7414A)
