Alr will take care of the software dependencies for you, but +you will have to read the README and documentation to find the other parts. + +This project is intended to replicate the look and feel of older computers +with the switches and lights. It uses the simulators from bbs_simcpu to +drive the LEDs and act on the switches. Using the Intel 8080 simulator, +I was actually able to toggle a bootstrap program in using the panel and +get it to boot CP/M. If you use the Motorola 68000 simulator, it will +load and run a simple multitasking OS. The example simulator can be used +to flash the lights in a variaty of ways. + +There is a lamp test program in the lamp-test directory that may be useful +for debugging the hardware. + +Note that since each cycle of the simulator involves multiple I2C bus +transactions to read switches and set LEDs, any CPU simulation will run +rather slowly. The intention of this project is more for display than +simulator usage. + +There is also a web server that can be used to select the CPU variant. +This is most useful with the example simulator to select the light pattern. + +This project run on a Raspberry Pi. It will build on most Unix or Unix-like +systems, but unless the hardware interface matches the Raspberry Pi, it +won't run. You are welcome to try porting it to other systems, if you like. +""" + +authors = ["Brent Seidel"] +maintainers = ["Brent Seidel "] +maintainers-logins = ["BrentSeidel"] +licenses = "GPL-3.0-or-later" +website = "https://github.com/BrentSeidel/Pi-Mainframe" +tags = ["embedded", "simulation", "i8080", "m68000", "hardware"] + +executables = ["blinkenlights"] + +[available."case(os)"] +"windows" = false +"..." = true + +[[depends-on]] +bbs = "~0.1.0" + +[[depends-on]] +bbs_embed_common = "~0.1.0" + +[[depends-on]] +bbs_embed_linux = "~0.1.0" + +[[depends-on]] +bbs_webif = "~0.1.0" + +[[depends-on]] +bbs_simcpu = "~0.1.0" + +[origin] +commit = "339e553ee12a1386f68873e311792cb4d2c94045" +url = "git+https://github.com/BrentSeidel/Pi-Mainframe.git" +
