<h1>Peripheral displays</h1>
<p>There are text based, interactive user intarfaces for simulated
peripherals, which are called <b>peripheral displays</b>. They
can be usefull for peripherals which can generate input data for
the microcontroller, such as ports (GPIO), uarts. Some displays
are used to show information in non-interactive way, for example <a href="#register_display">dreg</a> register display.</p>
<p>Peripheral display can be turned on using <a href="cmd_general.html#set_console_hw">set console hw</a> command where <i>hw</i> is the name of the peripheral.</p>

<h2>Control simulator with peripheral display</h2>
<p>Each peripheral display interpret some control keys (a key
pressed while CTRL is hold). They can be used to control the
simulator, or the display itself.</p>
<dl>
<dt><b>CTRL-s</b>, <b>CTRL-r</b>, <b>CTRL-g</b></dt>
<dd>Change run state of the simulator: start/stop
simulation. Actual state is displayed at the right side of the
first line.</dd>
<dt><b>CTRL-t</b></dt>
<dd>Reset CPU.</dd>
<dt><b>CTRL-q</b></dt>
<dd>Quit simulator, it is the same as the <a href="cmd_general.html#kill">kill</a> command.</dd>
<dt><b>CTRL-o</b></dt>
<dd>Close the display and return to the command console.</dd>
<dt><b>CTRL-l</b></dt>
<dd>Redraw the content of the display.</dd>
<dt><b>CTRL-n</b></dt>
<dd>Switch display to the next hardware element (peripheral) of
the microcontroller which has display feature implemented.</dd>
</dl>
<p>Please note, that uart peripheral use a different display (<a href="#uart_display">see
below</a>) where control keys are not available by default, you
have to press a hot-key first to display the simulator control
menu.</p>
<p>Some peripherals can not be used to input external data into
the system and do not have special display implemented. When you
open display of them you will see the same information what you
can check using <a href="">info hw</a> command.</p>

<a name="uart_display"><h2>Uart display</h2></a>
<p>Display of any uart peripheral is spcial because it acts like a
terminal emulator, connected to simulated uart. It doesn't have
control menu like other displays, but you can show it by
pressing a special <i>escape</i> key. This
escape key is CTRL-x by default, but you can configure it. </p>

uart[0] terminal display, press ^x to access control menu
</pre>
<img src="uart_s51.png" border="0">
<p>If the simulated uart sends a character (byte), it will be
printed on the screen, so that how non-ascii charaters are shown
is up to your terminal where the program was started.</p>
<p>Local echo is off, which means that key presses are not
printed, they will be received by the simulated uart.</p>
<p>If you press the escape key, you will see the control menu, as
shown on the above screenshot. Keys of the menu can be pressed
alone or by holding CTRL down.</p>
<h3>Configure uart display escape charater</h3>
<p>There is a variable which holds ascii code of the escape
charater, to configure it you can set the appropriate
variable. The variable is called</p>
<p><tt>uartX_esc_char</tt></p>
<p>where X is id number of the uart (there can be more than one
uarts in the controller, distinguised by their id numbers).</p>
<p>CTRL ascii codes are between 0 and 31, so for example, if you
are going to use CTRL-u, the easiest way to set it is:</p>
<pre>
0> <font color="#118811">expr uart0_esc_char='U'-'A'+1</font>
21
0> <font color="#118811">set con uart[0]</font>
Converting console to display of uart[0]...
uart[0] terminal display, press ^u to access control menu
</pre>
<p>Some CTRL combinations can be recognized by the operating
system's terminal driver (for example ^z and ^c on linux), these
combinations are not recommended to use.</p>
<p>It is also not recommended to use characters (either alone or
with CTRL) used on control menu, such
as <b>s</b>, <b>r</b>, <b>g</b>, <b>p</b>, <b>T</b>, <b>q</b>, <b>o</b>, <b>e</b>,
<b>n</b>.</p>
<h3>Configure new line sequuence</h3>
<p>It is possible to configure the character sequence which will
be sent to UART when you press the ENTER key. The configuration is
stored in a variable, called:</p>
<p><tt>uartX_nl</tt></p>
<p>where X is ID number of the UART. Sequence is stored in bytes
of this 32 bit variable, where lowest byte is the first character
of the sequence. Last byte must be zero, so the max length of the
sequence is 3 characters.</p>
<p>Examples of different settings:</p>
<p><tt><pre>
expr uart0_nl='\r' ; CR only
expr uart0_nl=10 ; LF only
expr uart0_nl=0xa0d ; CRLF
</pre></tt></p>
<a name="register_display"><h2>Register display</h2></a>
<p>Register set of the CPU is not a peripheral but could be
usefull to show that as a display. To accomplish this, all
simulators include a special "virtual" peripheral,
called <b>dreg</b>, which, when displayed, shows the registers,
the same way as
the <a href="cmd_general.html#info_registers">info registers</a>
command.</p>
