Trying to get the second serial port of the Z80 DART/SIO chip working I have made a .FID file which adds the device 'WIFI' (second port is connected to an ESP8266).
I filled the jump table with the right values and the device is added to the list when I check with DEVICE command.Alas it should be possible to set the baudrate of the selected device but it seems the extra options are not recognized.
If I type in:
DEVICE WIFI [NOXON,1200]
The answer is:
Error at the '^'; invalid delimiter.The up arrow points at the space between WIFI and the [
If I try with
DEVICE AUXOUT:=WIFI [NOXON,1200]
The answer is:
Error at the '^'; Invalid physical device.The up arrow points at the opening [
BTW it does react the same if I fill in SIO instead of WIFI
According to the info I found FID_C_INIT is (also) called after changing the baudrate or mode with DEVICE.It looks like this is not supported ? (maybe that is why there is a SETSIO.COM program?)
SETSIO is necessary because the SIO has more options (eg stop bits and interrupt mode) which DEVICE doesn't support.
To set the speed of a device in DEVICE you need to have the device name up against the speed with no spaces. So
DEVICE SIO[2400]
not
DEVICE SIO [2400]
.

Hmm, I thought I had tried all kinds of combinations, and according to my CPM3_CMD_ref manual there are spaces but indeed, with no spaces it accepts the options :) Modified the init code so I can set some baudrates and it looks like I have connection to the ESP alas, it is in the wrong mode: it just echoes my typed in characters (which is already quite a result) but the preprogrammed Wifi virtual modem software does not run. But that has nothing to do with the PCW :D
