uip-tool

[sqward]

It's even worse. Not only you have to register for download, in the end it's useless. You need jqwidgets 3.2.0 (maybe some other 3.x will work too but definitely not the latest one) which is quite tricky to find / download.

Fortunately, as I have gone that whole path, you can download it from my fork: https://bitbucket.org/mikro_sk/uip-tools/src/master/

That's unfortunate. Last time I checked it was free for non-commercial usage. Any volunteers to rewrite the UI to get rid of this dependency?

Do you remember the reason for this particular change? https://bitbucket.org/sqward/uip-tools/ ... split.cT69

I found this while debugging my USB2LAN port of uip-tool and I think the code was correct before that change. What this code now does is to transmit 54 bytes (why 54?) more than determined by len1. However, the when preparing the next packet (line 101 and below), the code won't know that and it will retransmit those 54 bytes. Due to TCP handshaking this does not cause corrupted data, but it's of course superfluous.

[sqward]

I don't really remember. Could be a bug. I have no time to look into it but I'd be happy to receive a pull request with a fix

[czietz]

TBH I have no idea how to create a pull request containing just a single commit from my repository of uip-tool. But you can see the (one line!) change to uip-split.c here:

Just to let you know I've just run this tool and I love it. It's very fast on my mste. BTW, how do you measure speed? It doesn't show it anywhere.

going by the network tab on firefox, I get:48kb/s on 8-Mhz and 73Kb/s on 16MHz + cache.

[sqward]

I usually use curl on a terminal for this.

Hi Folks!
Need to reopen the topic... Is there any known issue on the 1040STE (Italian)?
A tried on my two STEs and unfortunately both uip.tos and uipv43.tos are not working.
The task closes just after the launch.

Any thoughts? How Can I debug?

P.S.: I have this implementation of NetUSBee: https://lotharek.pl/productdetail.php?id=46

Thanks in advance!
Francesco

You might need more then 1MB of ram.

[fbaldassarri]

Ah Gosh!
I saw it worked on a 512FTM... I though it could work without problem even on my 1040STE... :"(
Any workaround?

Thanks you Mariusz for the quick reply...

[sqward]

I develop it on Falcon so I never paid any attention to the memory usage.

Are you sure that 520 wasn't extended?

[fbaldassarri]

I need to double check...
For example in this youtube video https://youtu.be/m3Lk96knpI0 of James Mackenzie, he is using a 1040STFM. I'll message him to ask if he upgraded the RAM.
Maybe is the "STE(nchanted)" to have some issue with uip-tool... because online I can't find any issue related to uip on 1MB RAM-based models.

[sqward]

It should work fine with STE. Maybe you have a lot of resident programs? We're planning new version of uip to be released some soon which should also lower the amount of required memory.

[fbaldassarri]

Amazing to hear that!
Happy to help in future testing!

BTW, no... all my tests were run without any resident software.
Just TOS 1.62 (Italian), AES 1.40, BLiTTER enabled, GEMDOS 0.17, CPU 68000, FPU not present, NVDI not present.

[ThorstenOtto]

a bit offtopic, but...

Just TOS 1.62 (Italian)

Is that an original ROM, or some self-patched version? If original, would you be able to dump it to a file?

[fbaldassarri]

Original ROM, my 1040STE still factory sealed after 30 years and it has Italian keyboard layout (with Italian translated keys)
To dump it I should have the necessary tools I currently haven't :/

[Timnaber]

Good news about a new version UIP. I love it, but it does need a little love to make things better.

Thank you!

[fbaldassarri]

I love it, but it does need a little love to make things better.

Ciao Timnaber,
Are you able to try uip-tool v43 on one of your machines with 1Mb RAM? Just to understand if uip-tool need more than 1Mb RAM to run...

Thanks in advance!

[Timnaber]

I would except here is what I have
falcon 14 megs
1 Mega Ste at 4 megs
3 mega 4s 4 megs each
2 1040 STfs 4 megs each, no switch to lower it to 1 meg
1 1040 STf where half of the memory is not working so 512k

I would not be able to test it quickly without repairing that last one. I will take a look at that last one this weekend and see if I can get the half of the memory working.

[fbaldassarri]

1 1040 STf where half of the memory is not working so 512k.

As a first test, could be valuable even to understand if uip-tool could work with 512Kb on a STF. (The problem could be something in the STE itself.)
If you'll have a little bit time to try I'll appreciate a lot!

[Timnaber]

I will test tonight.

[Timnaber]

I tried to load it on my 1040STf where only half the memory is working. It immediately drops back to the desktop. I would take that with a grain of salt cause it could be my memory issue causing it.

[fbaldassarri]

It immediately drops back to the desktop.

It's the same symptom I verified on my 1040STE, so surely as sqward said: uip-tool may need more than 1Mb ram available. :/
That strange because a lot of people is using NetUSBee on their machines and I can't find any similar issue reported. All of them have upgraded ST, Mega or Falcon?! :/
BTW, thanks a lot Timnaber for the time spent on that!

Code: Select all

$ file uipV43.tos 
uipV43.tos: Atari ST M68K contiguous executable (txt=300632, dat=6796, bss=1249264, sym=0)

1,2MB BSS segment, this needs 2MB to run

[fbaldassarri]

1,2MB BSS segment, this needs 2MB to run

Got it! Thanks for the check!
