Overview

Package savekey implements the SaveKey external memory card. It contains 32KB of non-volatile memory. Suitable for saving high scores, game settings, etc.

The SaveKey type implements the ports.Peripheral interface and can be inserted into a VCS port like any other peripheral.

Functions

func NewSaveKey

func NewSaveKey(env *environment.Environment, port plugging.PortID, bus ports.PeripheralBus) ports.Peripheral

NewSaveKey is the preferred method of initialisation for the SaveKey type.

Types

type DataDirection

type DataDirection int

DataDirection indicates the direction of data flow between the VCS and the SaveKey.

const (
	Reading DataDirection = iota
	Writing
)

Valid DataDirection values.

type EEPROM

type EEPROM struct {

	// the next address an i2c read/write operation will access
	Address uint16

	// amend Data only through put() and Poke()
	Data []uint8

	// the data as it is on disk. data is mutable and we need a way of
	// comparing what's on disk with what's in memory.
	DiskData []uint8
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

EEPROM represents the non-volatile memory in the SaveKey peripheral.

func (*EEPROM) Poke

func (ee *EEPROM) Poke(address uint16, data uint8)

Poke a value into EEPROM.

func (*EEPROM) Read

func (ee *EEPROM) Read()

Read EEPROM data from disk.

func (*EEPROM) Write

func (ee *EEPROM) Write()

Write EEPROM data to disk.

type SaveKey

type SaveKey struct {

	// only two bits of the SWCHA value is of interest to the i2c protocol.
	// from the perspective of the second player (in which port the SaveKey is
	// usually inserted) pin 2 is the data signal (SDA) and pin 3 is the
	// clock signal (SCL)
	SDA i2c.Trace
	SCL i2c.Trace

	// incoming data is interpreted depending on the state of the i2c protocol.
	// we also need to know the direction of data flow at any given time and
	// whether the next bit should be acknowledged (the Ack bool)
	State SaveKeyState
	Dir   DataDirection
	Ack   bool

	// Data is sent by the VCS one bit at a time. see pushBits(), popBits() and
	// resetBits() for
	Bits   uint8
	BitsCt int

	// the core of the SaveKey is an EEPROM.
	EEPROM *EEPROM
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

SaveKey represents the SaveKey peripheral. It implements the Peripheral interface.

func (*SaveKey) Plumb

func (sk *SaveKey) Plumb(bus ports.PeripheralBus)

Plumb implements the ports.Peripheral interface.

func (*SaveKey) PortID

func (sk *SaveKey) PortID() plugging.PortID

PortID implements the ports.Peripheral interface.

func (*SaveKey) Reset

func (sk *SaveKey) Reset()

Reset implements the ports.Peripheral interface.

func (*SaveKey) Snapshot

func (sk *SaveKey) Snapshot() ports.Peripheral

Snapshot implements the Peripheral interface.

func (*SaveKey) Step

func (sk *SaveKey) Step()

Step implements the ports.Peripheral interface.

func (*SaveKey) String

func (sk *SaveKey) String() string

func (*SaveKey) Unplug

func (sk *SaveKey) Unplug()

Unplug implements the Peripheral interface.

func (*SaveKey) Update

func (sk *SaveKey) Update(data chipbus.ChangedRegister) bool

Update implements the ports.Peripheral interface.

type SaveKeyState

type SaveKeyState int

SaveKeyState records how incoming signals to the SaveKey will be interpreted.

const (
	SaveKeyStopped SaveKeyState = iota
	SaveKeyStarting
	SaveKeyAddressHi
	SaveKeyAddressLo
	SaveKeyData
)

List of valid SaveKeyState values.
