Serial I/O to # com1 (port 0x3f8) will all go to the other window. # In socket* and pipe* (win32 only) modes Bochs becomes either socket/named pipe # client or server. In client mode it connects to an already running server (if # connection fails Bochs treats com port as not connected). In server mode it # opens socket/named pipe and waits until a client application connects to it # before starting simulation. This mode is useful for remote debugging (e.g. # with gdb's "target remote host:port" command or windbg's command line option # -k com:pipe,port=\\.\pipe\pipename). Note: 'socket' is a shorthand for # 'socket-client' and 'pipe' for 'pipe-client'. Socket modes use simple TCP # communication, pipe modes use duplex byte mode pipes. # Other serial modes are 'null' (no input/output), 'file' (output to a file # specified as the 'dev' parameter), 'raw' (use the real serial port - under # construction for win32), 'mouse' (standard serial mouse - requires # mouse option setting 'type=serial', 'type=serial_wheel' or 'type=serial_msys'). # # Examples: # com1: enabled=1, mode=null # com1: enabled=1, mode=mouse # com2: enabled=1, mode=file, dev=serial.out # com3: enabled=1, mode=raw, dev=com1 # com3: enabled=1, mode=socket-client, dev=localhost:8888 # com3: enabled=1, mode=socket-server, dev=localhost:8888 # com4: enabled=1, mode=pipe-client, dev=\\.\pipe\mypipe # com4: enabled=1, mode=pipe-server, dev=\\.\pipe\mypipe #======================================================================= #com1: enabled=1, mode=term, dev=/dev/ttyp9 #======================================================================= # PARPORT1, PARPORT2: # This defines a parallel (printer) port. When turned on and an output file is # defined the emulated printer port sends characters printed by the guest OS # into the output file. On some platforms a device filename can be used to # send the data to the real parallel port (e.g. "/dev/lp0" on Linux, "lpt1" on # win32 platforms). # # Examples: # parport1: enabled=1, file="parport.out" # parport2: enabled=1, file="/dev/lp0" # parport1: enabled=0 #======================================================================= parport1: enabled=1, file="parport.out" #======================================================================= # SB16: # This defines the SB16 sound emulation. It can have several of the # following properties. # All properties are in the format sb16: property=value # enabled: # This optional property controls the presence of the SB16 emulation. # The emulation is turned on unless this property is used and set to 0. # midi: The filename is where the midi data is sent. This can be a # device or just a file if you want to record the midi data. # midimode: # 0=no data # 1=output to device (system dependent. midi denotes the device driver) # 2=SMF file output, including headers # 3=output the midi data stream to the file (no midi headers and no # delta times, just command and data bytes) # wave: This is the device/file where wave output is stored # wavemode: # 0=no data # 1=output to device (system dependent. wave denotes the device driver) # 2=VOC file output, incl. headers # 3=output the raw wave stream to the file # log: The file to write the sb16 emulator messages to. # loglevel: # 0=no log # 1=resource changes, midi program and bank changes # 2=severe errors # 3=all errors # 4=all errors plus all port accesses # 5=all errors and port accesses plus a lot of extra info # dmatimer: # microseconds per second for a DMA cycle. Make it smaller to fix # non-continuous sound. 750000 is usually a good value. This needs a # reasonably correct setting for the IPS parameter of the CPU option. # # Examples for output devices: # sb16: midimode=1, midi="", wavemode=1, wave="" # win32 # sb16: midimode=1, midi=alsa:128:0, wavemode=1, wave=alsa # Linux with ALSA #======================================================================= #sb16: midimode=1, midi=/dev/midi00, wavemode=1, wave=/dev/dsp, loglevel=2, log=sb16.log, dmatimer=600000 #======================================================================= # ES1370: # This defines the ES1370 sound emulation. The parameter 'enabled' controls the # presence of the device. In addition to this, it must be loaded with 'plugin_ctrl' # and assigned to a PCI slot. The 'wavedev' parameter is similar to the 'wave' # parameter of the SB16 soundcard. The emulation supports recording and playback # (except DAC1+DAC2 output at the same time). # # Examples: # es1370: enabled=1, wavedev="" # win32 # es1370: enabled=1, wavedev=alsa # Linux with ALSA #======================================================================= #es1370: enabled=1, wavedev=alsa #======================================================================= # KEYBOARD_SERIAL_DELAY: # Approximate time in microseconds that it takes one character to # be transfered from the keyboard to controller over the serial path. # Examples: # keyboard_serial_delay: 200 #======================================================================= keyboard_serial_delay: 250 #======================================================================= # KEYBOARD_PASTE_DELAY: # Approximate time in microseconds between attempts to paste # characters to the keyboard controller. This leaves time for the # guest os to deal with the flow of characters. The ideal setting # depends on how your operating system processes characters. The # default of 100000 usec (.1 seconds) was chosen because it works # consistently in Windows. # # If your OS is losing characters during a paste, increase the paste # delay until it stops losing characters. # # Examples: # keyboard_paste_delay: 100000 #======================================================================= keyboard_paste_delay: 100000 #======================================================================= # MOUSE: # This defines parameters for the emulated mouse type, the initial status # of the mouse capture and the runtime method to toggle it. # # TYPE: # With the mouse type option you can select the type of mouse to emulate. # The default value is 'ps2'. The other choices are 'imps2' (wheel mouse # on PS/2), 'serial', 'serial_wheel' and 'serial_msys' (one com port requires # setting 'mode=mouse'). To connect a mouse to an USB port, see the 'usb_uhci', # 'usb_ohci' or 'usb_xhci' options (requires PCI and USB support). # # ENABLED: # The Bochs gui creates mouse "events" unless the 'enabled' option is # set to 0. The hardware emulation itself is not disabled by this. # Unless you have a particular reason for enabling the mouse by default, # it is recommended that you leave it off. You can also toggle the mouse # usage at runtime (RFB, SDL, Win32, wxWidgets and X11 - see below). # # TOGGLE: # The default method to toggle the mouse capture at runtime is to press the # CTRL key and the middle mouse button ('ctrl+mbutton'). This option allows # to change the method to 'ctrl+f10' (like DOSBox), 'ctrl+alt' (like QEMU) # or 'f12' (replaces win32 'legacyF12' option). # # Examples: # mouse: enabled=1 # mouse: type=imps2, enabled=1 # mouse: type=serial, enabled=1 # mouse: enabled=0, toggle=ctrl+f10 #======================================================================= mouse: enabled=0 #======================================================================= # private_colormap: Request that the GUI create and use it's own # non-shared colormap.

These arguments are ignored when assign the ne2k to a # PCI slot. # # MAC: The MAC address MUST NOT match the address of any machine on the net. # Also, the first byte must be an even number (bit 0 set means a multicast # address), and you cannot use ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff because that's the broadcast # address. For the ethertap module, you must use fe:fd:00:00:00:01. There may # be other restrictions too. To be safe, just use the b0:c4... address. # # ETHDEV: The ethdev value is the name of the network interface on your host # platform. On UNIX machines, you can get the name by running ifconfig. On # Windows machines, you must run niclist to get the name of the ethdev. # Niclist source code is in misc/niclist.c and it is included in Windows # binary releases. # # SCRIPT: The script value is optional, and is the name of a script that # is executed after bochs initialize the network interface. You can use # this script to configure this network interface, or enable masquerading. # This is mainly useful for the tun/tap devices that only exist during # Bochs execution. The network interface name is supplied to the script # as first parameter. # # BOOTROM: The bootrom value is optional, and is the name of the ROM image # to load. Note that this feature is only implemented for the PCI version of # the NE2000. # # If you don't want to make connections to any physical networks, # you can use the following 'ethmod's to simulate a virtual network. # null: All packets are discarded, but logged to a few files. # vde: Virtual Distributed Ethernet # vnet: ARP, ICMP-echo(ping), DHCP and read/write TFTP are simulated. # The virtual host uses 192.168.10.1. # DHCP assigns 192.168.10.2 to the guest. # TFTP uses the 'ethdev' value for the root directory and doesn't # overwrite files. # #======================================================================= # ne2k: ioaddr=0x300, irq=9, mac=fe:fd:00:00:00:01, ethmod=fbsd, ethdev=en0 #macosx # ne2k: ioaddr=0x300, irq=9, mac=b0:c4:20:00:00:00, ethmod=fbsd, ethdev=xl0 # ne2k: ioaddr=0x300, irq=9, mac=b0:c4:20:00:00:00, ethmod=linux, ethdev=eth0 # ne2k: ioaddr=0x300, irq=9, mac=b0:c4:20:00:00:01, ethmod=win32, ethdev=MYCARD # ne2k: ioaddr=0x300, irq=9, mac=fe:fd:00:00:00:01, ethmod=tap, ethdev=tap0 # ne2k: ioaddr=0x300, irq=9, mac=fe:fd:00:00:00:01, ethmod=tuntap, ethdev=/dev/net/tun0, script=./tunconfig # ne2k: ioaddr=0x300, irq=9, mac=b0:c4:20:00:00:01, ethmod=null, ethdev=eth0 # ne2k: ioaddr=0x300, irq=9, mac=b0:c4:20:00:00:01, ethmod=vde, ethdev="/tmp/vde.ctl" # ne2k: ioaddr=0x300, irq=9, mac=b0:c4:20:00:00:01, ethmod=vnet, ethdev="c:/temp" # ne2k: mac=b0:c4:20:00:00:01, ethmod=slirp, script=/usr/local/bin/slirp, bootrom=ne2k_pci.rom #======================================================================= # pnic: Bochs/Etherboot pseudo-NIC # # Format: # pnic: enabled=1, mac=MACADDR, ethmod=MODULE, ethdev=DEVICE, script=SCRIPT, # bootrom=BOOTROM # # The pseudo-NIC accepts the same syntax (for mac, ethmod, ethdev, script, # bootrom) and supports the same networking modules as the NE2000 adapter. # In addition to this, it must be loaded with 'plugin_ctrl' and assigned # to a PCI slot. #======================================================================= #pnic: enabled=1, mac=b0:c4:20:00:00:00, ethmod=vnet #======================================================================= # e1000: Intel(R) 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet adapter # # Format: # e1000: enabled=1, mac=MACADDR, ethmod=MODULE, ethdev=DEVICE, script=SCRIPT # bootrom=BOOTROM # # The E1000 accepts the same syntax (for mac, ethmod, ethdev, script, bootrom) # and supports the same networking modules as the NE2000 adapter.

With the portX parameter you can connect devices # to the hub (currently supported: 'mouse', 'tablet', 'keypad', 'disk', 'cdrom' # 'hub' and 'printer'). NOTE: UHCI must be loaded with 'plugin_ctrl'. # # The optionsX parameter can be used to assign specific options to the device # connected to the corresponding USB port. Currently this feature is only used # to set the speed reported by device and by the 'disk' device to specify # an alternative redolog file of some image modes. # # If you connect the mouse or tablet to one of the ports, Bochs forwards the # mouse movement data to the USB device instead of the selected mouse type. # When connecting the keypad to one of the ports, Bochs forwards the input of # the numeric keypad to the USB device instead of the PS/2 keyboard. # # To connect a 'flat' mode image as an USB hardisk you can use the 'disk' device # with the path to the image separated with a colon. To use other disk image modes # similar to ATA disks the syntax 'disk:mode:filename' must be used (see below). # # To emulate an USB cdrom you can use the 'cdrom' device name and the path to # an ISO image or raw device name also separated with a colon. An option to # insert/eject media is available in the runtime configuration. # # The device name 'hub' connects an external hub with max. 8 ports (default: 4) # to the root hub. To specify the number of ports you have to add the value # separated with a colon. Connecting devices to the external hub ports is only # available in the runtime configuration. # # The device 'printer' emulates the HP Deskjet 920C printer.
