Framework for abstracting Amiga debuggers and access to AmigaOS libraries and devices.

Overview

Framework for abstracting Amiga debuggers.

This project provides abstration to control an Amiga remotely using a debugger.

The APIs are not yet stable.

I include an end-user ready GUI tool based on this, amigaXfer, as a preview.

amigaXfer

This is a tool for data transfer between an Amiga and another computer using the serial port. No agent required on Amiga's side, as it uses the kickstart rom's debugger to take control of the Amiga.

There's multiple ways to get into this debugger. A simple one is through Workbench's debug menu, present when wb is loaded using loadwb -debug.

Selecting the Debug, RomWack or SAD menu option in Workbench 1.x/2.x/3.x will then enter the debugger and enable amigaXfer usage.

Alternatively, it is possible to bootstrap an Amiga for which no bootable disks are available.

https://rvalles.net/bootstrapping-an-amiga-without-a-bootable-amiga-floppy.html

amigaXfer runs on multiple platforms. Windows binaries are provided in release binary builds. Python 3.8+, PySerial and wxPython are required if running from sources.

It is able to e.g. read/write/compare floppies, install bootblocks, send/receive files and dump the kickstart rom.

Highlights:

  • Uses the kickstart's serial debugger, and thus it does not require an agent.
  • Supports RomWack (AmigaOS 1.x, 2.x) and SAD (AmigaOS 3.x) builtin debuggers.
  • High speed transfers; 512kbps possible on basic 68000 @ 7MHz A500.
  • Can be used to bootstrap an Amiga for which no bootable disks are available.
  • Checksums (CRC32/ISO-HDLC) used throughout to ensure transfer integrity.

  • Crash with AmigaOS 3.2 / 68060 / Fastmem (I-cache)

    Crash with AmigaOS 3.2 / 68060 / Fastmem (I-cache)

    I'm very impressed with this project. Really marvellous and nicely laid out code.

    I am however seeing a crash when starting this on OS 3.2. I'm not sure if its OS3.2, MMULib or my accelerator card that might be causing the issue. The crash happens randomly transferring and running the snippets.

    OS3.2 has romwack.

    My hardware setup is a full 68060 with MMULib and 128Mb of SDRAM.

    Interestingly I can manually create a script and run AllocMem over and over but no issues. I'm happy to help dig into the whys but some hints might be useful.

    My end goal is to simply have a cross development environment with a serial cable.

    amigaXfer, an easy-to-use GUI tool for lightning fast disk/file transfers on the serial port with the Amiga.

    Binaries should work on Windows 7 or higher, 32bit or 64bit. Any Amiga that has a Serial Port is supported; Kickstart 34/37/39/40/45/46/47 tested.

    Read the README.txt in the archive for multiple methods of entry to the Amiga ROM debugger.

    If doing the floppyless bootstrap process, as a free and open source alternative to Workbench disks, Nico Bendlin's HelloAmi will boot all the way up to Workbench. He kindly enabled the Workbench's debug menu on my request, which involved some research work on his end.

    Changes

    • SetupDialog
      • Open serial in exclusive mode if possible.
      • Support for interrupting the DEL-sending CrashEntry routine.
    • BootblockTool
      • Remove stale code from debug/optdebug bootblocks.
      • New "noboot" bootblock: Amiga won't boot it. DOS can still access.
    • RomTool
      • Fix: Progressbar progress display was not accurate.
    • Fix: Clear icache on code upload (020+). (Thanks to TerribleFire, issue #1)
    • Improved log output.

    For other systems, use source code. The dependencies are python 3.8+, pyserial and wxpython. For the 68000 code, it is possible to just copy the built objects from the Windows archive. Else, vasm or phxass will build them. A makefile is provided.

    Note that this version has changed the assembly files. Re-copy or rebuild.
