Hello all,

I am looking for a copy of "Chet Simpson's HD63B09EP Technical Reference Guide".

I believe copies are posted to Delphi, GEnie or Compuserve.  As I dont have

I don't have exactly what you are looking for, but there is my 32 bit
transputer assembler.  It is available for free as C sources and
compiles on Linux and Suns.  You can get it from ftp.thp.uni-koeln.de,
path pub/linux/transputer/sirius.tar.Z

Warning: I never cared about 16 bit transputers, so I am pretty sure
that some modifications have to be made.  I don't know about
instructions, but the startup code (rt0.sm4) and the default code address
have to be changed for sure.

Subject: Old Compiler Version
Date: Tue, 29 Dec 92 00:34:44 MEZ
Organization: ACF - Augsburger Computer-Freunde e.V.

Three years ago I bought the small OCS (Occam Compiler Set) from INMOS.
(BTW: Does it still exist?) This was a rather cheap tool for me to get
into the wonderful world of transputers.
Since this time I've never heard anything from eMedia (who sold them),
no update, nothing!

I just tested the versions:
- AFSERVER:  V1.3 (10-14-1987)
- OCCAM2 stand alone compiler:  V0.88 (3-25-1987)
- LINKT stand alone library linker:  V1.4 (12-8-1987)

This version is so old, it won't even accept the binaries produced by
the 3L-C compiler of my friend!

The OCS is only the compiler/linker without IDE or something like that!

Does anyone of you (perhaps one of the INMOS folks) know about the
version/existence of the OCS or an update? I tried to contact someone at
INMOS, but haven't got any response yet.

Please be so kind and don't support only the people with >128
transputers but even the small ones!

Thank you very much,

Yes, if all your sizes are even close:

struct _foo {
	char foo_tag;		/* union tag */
	union {			/* I forget if INMOS C has unnamed unions */
		struct foo1 foo1;
		struct foo2 foo2;
		etc...
	};
};

Seems to be a fair point to me. MS windows and other OO systems
are based on asynchronous communications. An event happening does
not require an immediate response, only that the message is queued
for processing. Occam has strong synchronisation in that if a
communication occurs, both parties to the communication implicitly
know when that communictation has occurred. These synchronisation
*events* control the execution flow, and hence drive the exection.

Therefore, I would consider 'event-driven' to be a suitable
term describing the execution of an occam process and by implication
an occam program.

Comments?

Hi,

how does one implement discriminated protocols using INMOS ANSI C?

Eg in Occam:

	PROTOCOL NUMBER IS
	  CASE
	    whole; INT64
	    floating; REAL64
	    complex; REAL64; REAL64
	:

then when inputing:

	c ? CASE
	  whole; n
	    ...
	  floating; r
	    ...
	  complex; r; theta
	    ...

I need to use two varying length messages; one of 39 integers and one of
simply two integers.

Can this be done somehow using INMOS ANSI C?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Khalid

In C (ANY transputer C), you can simply use a union and send that with
a single channel input/output pair (be they function calls or language
constructs or whatever).  Unless one member of the union is very much
larger than the other, and not sent very often, the overhead of sending
a larger message is usually compensated by the single input/output.

If you find you're transferring too much data this way, you can explicitly
input/output the union tag first, followed by the right body for the
tag.

Note that ANSI C does not support or allow unnamed unions, so a compiler that
accepts them is not ANSI conforming.  I'm not sure about Inmos C, but I do
know that PACT Parallel C does not have unnamed unions.

You should get an update of Hearsay from Beebug (whatever they call
themselves now). It's up to v.2.16 or so now (I think 2.12 was when it
became RO3-aware). I am now using RO3.1 with an ARM3 in an old A310 and
Hearsay works just fine (latest version). I think the serial handling
changed in RO3, so it is probably the OS upgrade which is causing you
problems.

It works fine for me... but under RO3.1 the serial port is treated differently,
so you may need a new cable (I think you can now use a normal 9-25 pin IBM
PC type cable on all machines, though this might only apply to A5000's and
later machines?)

It's possible that your version has a problem with 3.10, though it was developed
on 3.00 so that seems like a less-likely problem than you havinng an
'incorrectly wired' serial cable...

Maybe you should write to RISC developments...?
