@kas1e
You also fixed a bug that I hadn't noticed before.
I always copy files with AmigaShell or Mycommander.
Today, when I tried to move the entire program in Workbench (moving the icon to the SHARED disk), I got an error.

After updating to “0.4.0-beta,” the error no longer appears.
I checked on PEG2 Linux and macOS.
Thank you.

The sm501 has the whole vram memory mapped and you can certainly read and write it on both amigaone and pegasos2 so this should fundamentally work. If it doesn't there must be some other reason but I don't understand what.

Memory BARs like the SM501/502 VRAM are something different than MMIO BARs.
But MMIO is working on real AmigaOne as well, several device drivers are using it, and even if it might not work in some rare cases due to Articia-S bugs that's irrelevant for virtio as QEmu doesn't emulate the bugs of the Articia-S.

I don't know virtio but I doubt -virtfs would be legacy. According to the docs smarkusg linked (which seem quite outdated but maybe still there's some truth in it) it should be the same as -device virtio-9p-pci which should support both legacy and modern but maybe the driver need to do something to switch it to modern mode or is that the default?

I don't understand that explanation. Can you explain it or is it just what the AI generated? The sm501 has the whole vram memory mapped and you can certainly read and write it on both amigaone and pegasos2 so this should fundamentally work. If it doesn't there must be some other reason but I don't understand what.

Using legacy virtio devices is not recommended because they may be dropped in next release or soon after. You should really fix the driver to work with modern virtio.

One thing that modern virtio is different from legacy is that it's always little endian so more than byte access may need endian conversion. Is that handled in your driver? But if it works on pegasos2 it probably does. While the Marvell and Articia may have bits to do endian swap they are not emulated, you should get a log message with -d unimp,guest_errors if you try to use it. So the driver needs to handle it.

@kas1e
If you want the virtual machine to appear on your network you still need TAP. If you just want to access a port like ssh into the guest you can use port forwarding with user/slirp. There's also an alternative to slirp called passt which is the modern way with more features but I don't know it. In QEMU the -device is the guest side part and -net is the host side so it works the same on the host side independent if you use -device rtl8139 or -device virtio-net which just sets what card the guest sees. Once the packets reach QEMU it's the -net option that decides where they go.

@derf,balaton
Based on derf's code of the SCSI device were able to create working virtionet.device ! I can now set it as interface in network prefs, can ping to 127.0.0.1 and to my new ip 192.168.100.100 on this device.. now only to understand how correctly to tell qemu now to go outside of qemu to see if whole transfering work, and not just pings.

Before it was some hardcore like i had to setup openvpn to have TAP device, then "-device rtl8139,netdev=net0 -netdev tap,id=net0,ifname=TAP0,script=no,downscript=no" , etc.. Is the same TAP/slirp way need when use virtionet.device as well ?

The Articia S northbridge does not forward CPU memory cycles to PCI. The address decodes fine, the BAR is visible in config space, but when you actually try to read or write the MMIO region, the data never reaches the device.

The Articia S only reliably forwards I/O port (not memory) PCI cycles, which is why AmigaOne needs legacy VirtIO transitional devices (device ID 0x1004) that expose an I/O BAR. The OS InWord()/OutWord() PCI methods work fine for I/O space — it's specifically memory-mapped BAR access that the Articia S doesn't pass through.

If I want to use devices that have no I/O BAR then that is where I hit the issue. I am moving everything to legacy-only for now and will re-visit the issue later.

Why is that? MMIO should work with amigaone too. Isn't it just a memory mapped BAR that should show up in the PCI window? Or does it need something else that pegasos2 has and amigaone lacks?

@kas1e
As you see virtio is a whole family of devices that all use the same primitives to communicate with QEMU so if you make drivers for them you'll end up with duplicated code in these drivers that's best put in a library. Not only to make the drivers smaller but also to avoid having to fix the same bug in multiple drivers or have different bugs in different drivers. So you should really make the common part a virtio.library then base all drivers on that. That way improving the library would also improve all drivers without having to touch them.

@smarkusg
I not sure to be honest if virtio.library is need it us at all for now.. I mean what derfs did is quite cool and very well written, so all we need to have virtio-net.device "today" is update what he did with SANAII. Going another way now can be a bit more time consuming even if future proof.. But that of course up to derfs :)

Btw, now as you can made those devices/libraries/handlers now, and i see on your github you made some https://github.com/derfsss/AmigaBlockDevLibrary, is it possible (if i may ask for), to create our opensource version of the virtuo.library instead of that one from AEON, so we can then make on top of that some network driver which will works fine without needs to use those rtl ones which cause issues ?

@Falke_34 announced on the os4welt forum that he wants to make VirtioVGA.
He seems enthusiastic about it and is making progress. Let's keep our fingers crossed that he succeeds

He is also working on “virtio.library.”
It would be great if anyone wanted to help him.
I don't know enough to say whether he has chosen the right path.
Description: “The project may be distributed, copied, edited, and also puzzling!”
Yesterday he wrote that it is initializing in a certain way: “GPU is recognized -> QEmu also opens a new black screen.”

ps
@Falke_34 also developed QEmu Helper - a program written in Python3 that provides a config interface to make it easier to configure and start QEmu with Amiga OS 4.1. He is still working on it.
It was created before @walkero developed Kyvos.

@Falke_34 has the enthusiasm and desire to do something for AOS4... so if anyone can help him, thank you in advance.

Thank you!

I'm experimenting with a Commodore 16/Plus4 Covox sound card. The unusual sample rate and 4-bit samples requests come from there.

It's good to hear that Rave is developing, even slowly.

I take my words back about needs to create virtuo.library, maybe that one were better at first, but now, when you already create with no problems directly device and handler, then probably following the same "direct" way..
