Hognose Alpha2
Hognose Alpha2:
Changes since Hogose Alpha1:
- 6275cc5: Native ARM Co Pro: Fix regression in OS_Args SWI (broke DOOM and BQUAKE)
Hognose Alpha1
This is an alpha release of the PiTubeDirect Hognose version.
There are two main new features in Hognose:
- A JIT-based implementation of the 65C02 Co Processor that is upto 4x faster:
- Pi 0: Speedup is 1.45x
- Co Pro 0: 282.60MHz
- Co Pro 24: 409.09MHz
- Pi 3A+: Speedup is 3.16x
- Co Pro 0: 339.10MHz
- Co Pro 24: 1072.33MHz
- Pi 4:: Speedup is 4.30x
- Co Pro 0: 366.79MHz
- Co Pro 24: 1576.67MHz
(measured using the BASIC 2 version of CLOCKSP)
The JIT 6502 (Co Pro 24) is now the default Co Processor; this can be changed by editing cmdline.txt.
Thanks for Dominic (dp11) for creating the new JIT 6502 Co Pro!
- A BBC compatible VDU driver that allows use of the Pi's HDMI port as a secondary display:
