+68060 SOFTWARE PACKAGE (Kernel version) SIMPLE TESTS
+-----------------------------------------------------
+
+The files itest.sa and ftest.sa contain simple tests to check
+the state of the 68060ISP and 68060FPSP once they have been installed.
+
+Release file format:
+--------------------
+The release files itest.sa and ftest.sa are essentially
+hexadecimal images of the actual tests. This format is the
+ONLY format that will be supported. The hex images were created
+by assembling the source code and then converting the resulting
+binary output images into ASCII text files. The hexadecimal
+numbers are listed using the Motorola Assembly syntax assembler
+directive "dc.l" (define constant longword). The files can be
+converted to other assembly syntaxes by using any word processor
+with a global search and replace function.
+
+To assist in assembling and linking these modules with other modules,
+the instaler should add symbolic labels to the top of the files.
+This will allow the calling routines to access the entry points
+of these packages.
+
+The source code itest.s and ftest.s have been included but only
+for documentation purposes.
+
+Release file structure:
+-----------------------
+
+(top of module)
+ -----------------
+ | | - 128 byte-sized section
+ (1) | Call-Out | - 4 bytes per entry (user fills these in)
+ | |
+ -----------------
+ | | - 8 bytes per entry
+ (2) | Entry Point | - user does "bsr" or "jsr" to this address
+ | |
+ -----------------
+ | | - code section
+ (3) ~ ~
+ | |
+ -----------------
+(bottom of module)
+
+The first section of this module is the "Call-out" section. This section
+is NOT INCLUDED in {i,f}test.sa (an example "Call-out" section is provided at
+the end of this file). The purpose of this section is to allow the test
+routines to reference external printing functions that must be provided
+by the host operating system. This section MUST be exactly 128 bytes in
+size. There are 32 fields, each 4 bytes in size. Each field corresponds
+to a function required by the test packages (these functions and their
+location are listed in "68060{ISP,FPSP}-TEST call-outs" below). Each field
+entry should contain the address of the corresponding function RELATIVE to
+the starting address of the "call-out" section. The "Call-out" section must
+sit adjacent to the {i,f}test.sa image in memory. Since itest.sa and ftest.sa
+are individual tests, they each require their own "Call-out" sections.
+
+The second section, the "Entry-point" section, is used by external routines
+to access the test routines. Since the {i,f}test.sa hex files contain
+no symbol names, this section contains function entry points that are fixed
+with respect to the top of the package. The currently defined entry-points
+are listed in section "68060{ISP,FPSP}-TEST entry points" below. A calling
+routine would simply execute a "bsr" or "jsr" that jumped to the selected
+function entry-point.
+
+For example, to run the 060ISP test, write a program that includes the
+itest.sa data and execute something similar to:
+
+ bsr _060ISP_TEST+128+0
+
+(_060ISP_TEST is the starting address of the "Call-out" section; the "Call-out"
+section is 128 bytes long; and the 68060ISP test entry point is located
+0 bytes from the top of the "Entry-point" section.)
+
+The third section is the code section. After entering through an "Entry-point",
+the entry code jumps to the appropriate test code within the code section.
+
+68060ISP-TEST Call-outs:
+------------------------
+0x0: _print_string()
+0x4: _print_number()
+
+68060FPSP-TEST Call-outs:
+-------------------------
+0x0: _print_string()
+0x4: _print_number()
+
+The test packages call _print_string() and _print_number()
+as subroutines and expect the main program to print a string
+or a number to a file or to the screen.
+In "C"-like fashion, the test program calls:
+
+ print_string("Test passed");
+
+ or
+
+ print_number(20);
+
+For _print_string(), the test programs pass a longword address
+of the string on the stack. For _print_number(), the test programs pass
+a longword number to be printed.
+
+For debugging purposes, after the main program performs a "print"
+for a test package, it should flush the output so that it's not
+buffered. In this way, if the test program crashes, at least the previous
+statements printed will be seen.
+
+68060ISP-TEST Entry-points:
+---------------------------
+0x0: integer test
+
+68060FPSP-TEST Entry-points:
+----------------------------
+0x00: main fp test
+0x08: FP unimplemented test
+0x10: FP enabled snan/operr/ovfl/unfl/dz/inex
+
+The floating-point unit test has 3 entry points which will require
+3 different calls to the package if each of the three following tests
+is desired:
+
+main fp test: tests (1) unimp effective address exception
+ (2) unsupported data type exceptions
+ (3) non-maskable overflow/underflow exceptions
+
+FP unimplemented: tests FP unimplemented exception. this one is
+ separate from the previous tests for systems that don't
+ want FP unimplemented instructions.
+
+FP enabled: tests enabled snan/operr/ovfl/unfl/dz/inex.
+ basically, it enables each of these exceptions and forces
+ each using an implemented FP instruction. this process
+ exercizes _fpsp_{snan,operr,ovfl,unfl,dz,inex}() and
+ _real_{snan,operr,ovfl,unfl,dz,inex}(). the test expects
+ _real_XXXX() to do nothing except clear the exception
+ and "rte". if a system's _real_XXXX() handler creates an
+ alternate result, the test will print "failed" but this
+ is acceptable.
+
+Miscellaneous:
+--------------
+Again, itest.sa and ftest.sa are simple tests and do not thoroughly
+test all 68060SP connections. For example, they do not test connections
+to _real_access(), _real_trace(), _real_trap(), etc. because these
+will be system-implemented several different ways and the test packages
+must remain system independent.
+
+Example test package set-up:
+----------------------------
+_print_str:
+ . # provided by system
+ rts
+
+_print_num:
+ . # provided by system
+ rts
+
+ .
+ .
+ bsr _060FPSP_TEST+128+0
+ .
+ .
+ rts
+
+# beginning of "Call-out" section; provided by integrator.
+# MUST be 128 bytes long.
+_060FPSP_TEST:
+ long _print_str - _060FPSP_TEST
+ long _print_num - _060FPSP_TEST
+ space 120
+
+# ftest.sa starts here; start of "Entry-point" section.
+ long 0x60ff0000, 0x00002346
+ long 0x60ff0000, 0x00018766
+ long 0x60ff0000, 0x00023338
