srdx_bench.sg — SRDX latency + bandwidth metrics (sigil-video 902e9be)
SRDXBENCH-PASS is the structural metrics foundation for the 0.7.0 two-Pi measurement milestone. The API answers: for a given frame size, how many fragments, what maximum FPS, what wire latency?
fw×fh pixels. Uses the encoder's partial-edge tile model — if the frame width is not a multiple of the tile width, the right-edge column is a partial tile and still counts as one tile. This matches the encoder exactly, so bench calculations are never off by a tile.32 (packet hdr) + ntiles × 32 (rect hdrs) + fw × fh × 4 (ARGB pixels). This is the worst case — all pixels dirty, no delta compression.ceil(full_pkt_bytes / (MTU - 8)) where MTU=1514 and 8B is the SRDX fragment header. This is the number of raw-NIC frames needed to transmit one full-dirty frame.(link_mbps × 125000) / full_pkt_bytes — frames per second at link_mbps if every frame is full-dirty. 100 Mbit → 12,500,000 B/s ÷ full_pkt_bytes. Delta encoding pushes real-world FPS higher (unchanged tiles not transmitted).(full_pkt_bytes × 8) / link_mbps in microseconds — wire serialization latency for a full frame at the given link speed.Test results (160×120 QEMU verify)
- ntiles = 6
- full_pkt_bytes = 77,024 B
- frags = 52 (77,024 ÷ (1514−8) = 77,024 ÷ 1506 = 51.14 → 52 fragments)
- max_fps ≈ 162 @ 100 Mbit (12,500,000 ÷ 77,024 ≈ 162 fps — theoretical max at full-dirty; real content runs faster)
- delta re-encode of unchanged frame → 0 dirty tiles (SRDX delta encoder only sends changed tiles — an identical frame costs only the 32-byte packet header)
- pixel verify: blue ✓
SRDXBENCH-PASS: ntiles=6 full=77024B frags=52 fps≈162@100Mbit delta=0 pixel=blue.
What this tells us for the two-Pi run
At 100 Mbit Ethernet (standard Pi Ethernet), 160×120 at full-dirty pushes ~12 MB/s — comfortably under the 12.5 MB/s link ceiling. Real-world SRDX sessions use delta encoding — only changed tiles transmit — so a typical desktop workload (small cursor movements, partial-screen updates) will stay well under the link budget. The 0.7.0 two-Pi milestone will measure actual latency (ACPI PM Timer, 3.579545 MHz) against these structural baselines.
pi_bt_hid.sg — Pi BT HID session layer (sigil-drivers f6f979a)
pi_bt_uart.sg (previous commit) handled the UART transport: H4 framing, firmware init, baud bump. pi_bt_hid.sg is the session layer above it — it receives H4 ACL data frames from the UART, extracts the L2CAP HID interrupt channel payload, and dispatches to the existing Xbox One BT HID parser (xbox_bt.sg).
The ACL → L2CAP → HID path
An ACL (Asynchronous Connection-Less) frame in HCI carries L2CAP (Logical Link Control and Adaptation Protocol) segments. The L2CAP layer multiplexes multiple channels (signaling, HID control, HID interrupt) over a single ACL connection. The HID interrupt channel (negotiated during pairing, stored as the HID CID) carries the actual input reports.
H4 UART byte stream
→ [0x02] ACL frame header (handle + boundary bits)
→ L2CAP header [len][cid] — cid = HID interrupt channel
→ HID report [0xA1][report_id][report_data...]
→ xbt_parse_report() ← xbox_bt.sg, already provenPI_BHID_CTL_SET_HANDLE.pi_bt_uart_recv_event. Validates H4 type byte (0x02 = ACL), extracts ACL handle (lower 12 bits), matches against stored conn_handle. Extracts L2CAP CID from bytes 6–7, matches against stored hid_cid.0xA1 (HCI input report), byte 1 = report ID 1 (Xbox One BT report). Dispatches to xbt_parse_report(). Invalid prefix → error.pi_bhid_dispatch directly. Used in the 14-check test suite.14 checks PASS: constants (ACL type byte, L2CAP header offsets), ACL handle math (12-bit extraction + matching), L2CAP CID matching, state (handle-not-set rejects data), inject→parse→xbox_bt round-trip. State at 0x9D8000.
What this completes
The Pi BT stack is now full-path: GPIO reset → firmware seam → baud bump (pi_bt_uart.sg) → ACL receive → L2CAP demux → HID dispatch → Xbox One BT report parse (pi_bt_hid.sg). Connecting an Xbox One S controller to a Pi3b/4b via Bluetooth will now deliver a parsed input report through the same xbt_parse_report() path that the USB HID and BT stub drivers use.
rom_scan.sg — ROM scanner rewrite in Sigil (sigil-retropie 121547d)
The tools/rom_scan.py Python ROM scanner was a build-tools-in-Sigil policy violation. tools/rom_scan.sg (684 lines) replaces it entirely — a pure-Sigil CRC32 scanner that walks /roms/<system>/ via syscall 21 (fs_readdir), CRC32s each ROM with a pure-Sigil IEEE 802.3 implementation, and writes the catalog directly to the sigil-os filesystem.
Key implementation details
The Sigil compiler limits locals per function, so the system dir→id dispatch is split into 6 prefix functions (each <16 locals). The CRC32 polynomial init samples the bit before modifying c to avoid a double-condition bug. The rtrim (strip trailing whitespace from filename stems) uses a done-flag pattern to avoid a double-check on the decremented index. Per-system start/count tables are computed in rs_emit_sys_tables after the full scan is complete.
Memory map (above emulator regions, no conflicts)
| Address | Contents |
|---|---|
0x3E000000 | CRC32 lookup table (256 × 4 B = 1024 B) |
0x3E030000 | catalog entries (title/path/system_id/year/crc32/verified/publisher per entry) |
0x3E040000 | string pool |
0x3F000000 | output text buffer (rom_catalog_gen.sg source) |
The scanner's output is lib/rom_catalog_gen.sg — the same Sigil compile-time catalog as before, now generated by a Sigil tool instead of a Python tool. The output format and API are unchanged; ui/launcher_app.sg required only a one-line update.
Why this matters beyond policy compliance
rom_scan.sg runs as a sigilOS EL0 process, not a host tool. This means the ROM scanner can run on a Pi without needing Python installed — it's part of the sigilOS image and can self-scan the /roms/ directory at boot. The Python version required running on the host to generate the catalog before flashing; the Sigil version can regenerate the catalog on the device itself.
SRDX connection log (sigil-fs cd5b158)
srdx_persist.sg gains an append-only connection event log at /<pfx>/srdx/conn.log. The log records JOIN and LEAVE events — who connected, when (via sequence number), on which port.
Entry format (8 bytes each, crash-safe)
| Bytes | Field | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 0–3 | sequence number (LE uint32) | Derived from file size on reload, not stored separately. If the file is 24 bytes, there are 3 entries; the next seq is 3. Crash-safe: a partial write (fewer than 8 bytes) is detected by file_size % 8 ≠ 0 and the truncated entry is ignored. |
| 4 | event type | EVT_JOIN=1, EVT_LEAVE=2 |
| 5 | sess_id | Session ID, 0–7 |
| 6–7 | port (LE uint16) | e.g., 7722 for SRDX_PORT |
fs_append (syscall — atomic append).fs_stat(conn.log).size ÷ 8. If size is not a multiple of 8 (partial-write crash), returns size ÷ 8 (floor — the partial entry is effectively dropped).7-step test (ABCDEFG): init → join(sess=0, port=7722) → join(sess=1, port=7722) → leave(sess=0) → count check (3 entries) → byte-exact entry-0 verify (seq=0, EVT_JOIN, sess=0, port=7722) → entry-2 verify (seq=2, EVT_LEAVE, sess=0, port=0). PASS.
Why append-only + seq-from-size
This design avoids a write-ahead log or CSPRNG for sequence numbering. The file itself is the sequence counter — its size encodes the commit point. A crash that truncates the last entry is detected by the size-mod-8 check and the entry is dropped. This gives crash-safety without any external state — the log is self-describing.
