VS1010 utility programs

[Aleksi]

Greetings!


Here are two small utility programs called "Delete" and "Copy". With these programs you can delete and copy files (NOT folders) directly from terminal.

To use program "Delete" you need to insert delete.dlx file into your SYS folder and to delete some file (lets say test.txt from sys folder) you can give command "delete D:sys/test.txt".

To use program "Copy" you need to insert copy.dlx as well as program ParamSpl.dlx (handles the parameters given to program Copy) to your sys folder. To copy a file you need to give command "copy source destination". For example "copy D:test.txt D:newTest.txt". Note that destination filename can not be longer than 8.3 characters. For example "12345678.123" is fine.

Binaries are provided below as well as solution files for further development.


I hope this is helpful for you. Feedback and questions are welcome!

DiskFree, ported from VS1005 VSOS 3.54 root sources to VS1010D.

Here's a handy way to run DiskFree from your program:

Code: Select all

extern u_int32 scratch;
ioresult main (char *params) {

	RunLib("DISKFREE","-p 1401 D:");
	printf("D: has %ld kB free.\n",scratch);

}

And the result:

VS1010>free
D: has 959968 kB free.

VS1010>

This takes advantage of 5 words of fixed scratch area in VS1010, which is in X address 1401. Make sure you have both DiskFree.dlx and ParamSpl.dlx in your SYS folder.

Here's a small program, GpioCheckPins, which keeps printing the states of all GPIO pins until ESC key is pressed. It's useful for checking which pins your board's buttons are connected to. Pushing the buttons causes the corresponding number to change between 0 and 1.

Here's the printout:

Code: Select all

VS1010>GpioPinCheck
 0.0123456789abcdef 1.0123456789abcdef 2.0123456789abcdef
   0001101110100000   1111000010011100   1111101100001100

Here's the code:

Code: Select all

ioresult main (char *params) {
	int i,j;
	for (j=0; j<3; j++) {
		printf(" %d.",j);
		for (i=0; i<16; i++) {
			printf("%x",i);
		}
	}
	printf("\n");
	while(USEX(1700) != 27) { // Check for UART0 console ESC key in VS1010 without requiring symbols
		printf("\r");
		for (j=0; j<3; j++) {
			printf("   ");
			for (i=0; i<16; i++) {
				printf("%x",GpioReadPin(j*16+i));
			}
		}
	}
}

This program copies a file to a new file and runs RTCREAD to update the system time from RTC hardware so that the target file has a correct date and time, if the RTC has correct date and time. Does not create long file names.

usage:
copy d:fromfile.ext d:tofile.ext

Can you provide a utility to create a new Directory on the SPI drive (S: or D:)? (mkdir or equivalent).

Hello!

About documentation...

Currently there is no VS1010-specific documentation for the utilities that Tero has released (and will release) here. However, they are direct VS1005 ports, so the documentation for them is available in the VS1005 VSOS Shell document Chapter 7.1, Shell Command Programs and VSOS Libraries. I have attached the current release of the document to this message.

When we have ported more utilities, it is our plan to release them in a larger package with documentation, similar to the Root Images and Libraries with Source Code packages we release for VS1005.

Kind regards,
- Henrik
