This is a vt100 emulator written for devices with under 4kb of ram (for example the ATMega microcontroller). The emulator also uses ili9340 display by default, but can be compiled to use another display with only a few changes to the source code.

Note that because of the small size of the available memory and the slow speed of the microcontroller, it is a little tricky to implement all the escape sequences that are supported in vt100.

VT100 Emulator Demo

Examples

  • see demo.cpp for code that tests the terminal
  • Note: since vt100 is 80x24 lines, and our terminal only supports 40x40 lines, you need to run "stty cols 40 rows 40" command to tell terminal programs that only 40 columns are available.

Compiling

Don't be put off by cmake. The CMakeLists.txt file is provided for convenience only. You can basically just compile using:

  • avr-gcc -O3 -std=c99 -mmcu=atmega328p -DF_CPU=16000000UL -c ili9340.c uart.c vt100.c
  • avr-g++ -O3 -std=c++11 -mmcu=atmega328p -DF_CPU=16000000UL -o demo.elf demo.cpp ili9340.o uart.o vt100.o

Compatibility

The aim of this project is to be a vt100 compliant terminal. However, at the moment it can not really be called a vt100 terminal because it is far from complete in terms of supporting all of the vt100 terminal sequences. But I do support a few and doing normal shell stuff works fine. But some functions require some more hacking to implement with only 2kb of ram (such as cursor blink and character deletion, to name a few).

Nonetheless, I'm proud to have come this far with it.

The driver currently supports the following escape sequences:

				 /======================================================\
				 |  VT100 Escape sequences supported by the this driver |
				 \======================================================/

- ESC is the escape character "\e" or "\x1b"
- (yes) - the driver supports the sequence
- (no) - the driver currently does not support the sequence
- (?) - do we really need this function? Or: what does this do exactly?
