The hardware of the emulated system is defined in the emulator configuration file. Charon-PAR comes with a number of template files that are stored in /opt/charon/cfg. Each template file contains the settings for a particular historic HP3000 ( Charon-PAR/PA3 ) or HP9000 ( Charon-PAR/PA9 ) hardware model or model family. The files also contain important descriptions for all parameters listed.

Parameter license_key_id 

Optional parameter. There can be several license_key_id parameters in this section. They define a prioritized list of license keys. The first entry has the highest priority. If no key with this ID is available, the next key in the list will be tried. If a higher priority key becomes available, the emulator will switch to this license at the next periodic license check.

Syntax:

license_key_id "key-id-prio1"

...

Optional parameter. There can be several license_id parameters in this section. They define a prioritized list of product license IDs. The first entry has the highest priority. If no key with this product license ID is available, the next product license ID in the list will be attempted. If a higher priority license becomes available, the emulator will switch to this license at the next periodic license check.

Syntax:

license_id "lic-id-prio1"

...

The system model configuration section contains one parameter defining the emulated historic HP3000 or HP9000 PA-RISC model.

Syntax:

model "model-name"

...

This parameter is optional. It can be used to specify a terminal emulation program that is started automatically when the emulated system is started. Charon-PAR provides preconfigured profiles for PuTTY (HPAPAR-Socket HPA, PAR-Telnet HPA, PAR-Telnet-VT100) that can be used to connect to the emulated system via a serial line.

...

To start the xhpterm emulator (HP3000Charon-PAR/PA3), the following setting should be used:

...

The SuperIO module is included in the Astro chipset and emulates a historic HP9000 PCI board with PC style peripherals used in historic 64-bit PA-RISC systems:

  • parallel port
  • 2 serial ports
  • dual-channel IDE controller
  • floppy disk controller
  • USB controller
  • timer
  • PIC interrupt controller
