15-Jan-15 MP Initial implementation
01-Apr-15 MP Added register indirect, mem_examine and mem_deposit
03-Apr-15 MP Added logic to pass simulator startup messages in
panel error text if the connection to the simulator
shuts down while it is starting.
04-Apr-15 MP Added mount and dismount routines to connect and
disconnect removable media
This module defines interface between a front panel application and a simh
simulator. Facilities provide ways to gather information from and to
observe and control the state of a simulator.
Any application which wants to use this API needs to:
1) include this file in the application code
2) compile sim_frontpanel.c and sim_sock.c from the top level directory
of the simh source.
3) link the sim_frontpanel and sim_sock object modules and libpthreads
into the application.
4) Use a simh simulator built from the same version of simh that the
sim_frontpanel and sim_sock modules came from.

- The simulator binary must be built from the same version

(the API and the simh framework must speak the same language)
Note 2: - Configuration file specified should contain device setup
statements (enable, disable, CPU types and attach commands).

simulator.

access to are described by the application by calling:
sim_panel_add_register
sim_panel_add_register_array

sim_panel_add_register_indirect

device_name the device this register is part of. Defaults to
the device of the panel (in a device panel) or the
default device in the simulator (usually the CPU).

A panel application has a choice of two different methods of getting
the values contained in the set of registers it has declared interest in via
the sim_panel_add_register API.
1) The values can be polled (when ever it is desired) by calling
sim_panel_get_registers().
2) The panel can call sim_panel_set_display_callback() to specify a
callback routine and a periodic rate that the callback routine
should be called. The panel API will make a best effort to deliver
the current register state at the desired rate.
Note 1: The buffers described in a panel's register set will be
dynamically revised as soon as data is available from the
simulator. The callback routine merely serves as a notification
that a complete register set has arrived.
Note 2: The callback routine should, in general, not run for a long time
or frontpanel interactions with the simulator may be disrupted.
Setting a flag, signaling an event or posting a message are
reasonable activities to perform in a callback routine.
