...I suspect I know what's happened here. During testing, I connected an LED directly between pins 1+2 of the External LED connector. With no current limiting resistor. I presume that's then drawn too much current (or actually attempted to sink too much current) into the GPIO, which is GPIO_1_D4, connected to bank 4 of the Cyclone V SOC. The maximu...

Out of desperation, I've even reimaged a new SD card with Mr Fusion... Same result, LEDs working on the DE10, nothing on the IO board. I've even checked with an LED (and resistor) on the LED header for the Power LED. Still nothing.

ByteMavericks

Hi all, weird one this... The POWER LED on my analogue IO Board 6.1 has stopped working completely, but USER and DISK are working fine. The LEDs on the nano are dancing nicely. Same result using the header, even if I remove the P5 (led power) jumper. I've checked switches on the nano are in the right place just in case that had an impact I've had a...

Many thanks for all of these - they're exceptionally cool! I took a plunge and ordered an ACR122 from Aliexpress, an ACR122U-A9 and... it doesn't work with Mister. Works perfectly on my laptop with nfc tools, but fails on MisterFPGA: opens connection to ACS / ACR122U PICC interface acr122_usb:001:009 (I've tried on a powered USB hub, too) polling f...

Do it, prove me/Sorgelig/everyone wrong! You’ve claimed it’s “very easy”. I’ll be the first to buy you a beer/beverage of your choice.

ByteMavericks

Oh awesome! Full colour marquees! Will get some bits together and try this

Kudos, great work

someone have to buy one

Well volunteered! Good luck with the code that’s already identified as non synthesisable

ByteMavericks

Ha! Brilliant! To be fair the vast majority was the work of others

- credits are listed in the GitHub . I just tried to create a sane mapping

ByteMavericks

Marvellous! Yes, I created a version of the common audio code to interface, but optimised for mister, here: https://github.com/ByteMavericks/MiMimiKB

I could write a script to download and build that into an hdf…

ByteMavericks

Mine's arrived, wonderful bit of kit and it is making my arduino based kb interface feel very inferior...

Would you be up for adding to the keymap at all?

ByteMavericks

This is awesome, thank you! Will check docs for how to run things - always wanted an einstein

ByteMavericks

That’s really neat, and a much tidier solution than mine, which is a few wedges and an Arduino handling the keyboard, plus a couple of transistors to drive the LEDs

ByteMavericks

Awesome! Will check this out later, thank you!

That’s what I’ve got on my dell monitor, works well

ByteMavericks

There is no better 68k implementation available: there’s long discussions around this. The 68080 core from vampire isn’t available, it’s closed. There might be an option from Mike’s fpgaarcade work when that’s complete and people are working on offloading cpu to the arm side. All of these things are seriously non trivial amounts of work. The 68060 ...

ByteMavericks

Right. Dang.

ByteMavericks

Ah. That’s quite fundamental. I assume it supports sdl though? might that give some acceleration?

ByteMavericks

OK, if I understand it correctly, RTG right now is merely writing directly into the frame buffer directly via the HPS: is that correct? The way PiStorm handles this is that there's a full accelerated RTG implementation on the Amiga. This interfaces to the RPI side via a shared memory interface which writes commands and data to a certain address. On...

ByteMavericks

The PiStorm team have been busy implementing RTG using Raylib and the performance is excellent. It looks like the Minimig RTG driver is simply writing to the framebuffer through shared memory - would it be possible to take the same approach as PiStorm here as the difference does seem to be big...

ByteMavericks

Just a thought: what happens to the LEDs when no sd card is present? That might help diagnose whether it could be sd card/socket related or not

ByteMavericks

Networking can be a bit of a trial sometimes, however strong recommendation here for Roadshow. Works perfectly with very minimal hassle.
Make sure your mister config uart mode is set to use PPP too:-)

ByteMavericks

This would require significant changes to the arm side of things, the minimig side of things, and the interface. Right now the minimig requests a track of data from the arm side, and ipf deals with flux… to support ipf (or real disk drives) this interface would need to change and pass raw flux data to Paula within minimig. I think

ByteMavericks

I’ve compiled the share file system for workbench 1.3 too which might be useful…

Would there be any interest in a script that automatically patches kickstart to include the correct driver?

ByteMavericks

Any ideas how keys will be distributed to patrons? Couldn’t see anything about it on patreon. Looks a good idea to me, but I do see a lot of people asking why core x doesn’t allow them to play it

ByteMavericks

I think the interface between fpga and arm would need a complete rethink… not impossible, but definitely not trivial

ByteMavericks

This is great, however it’s very tightly coupled to winuae from what I can see. The minimig core floppy interface seems to request and pass sectors. I assume winuae and the new code are between them emulating and passing flux to the Paula/floppy module of winuae… there’s definite advantages to adding to the minimig to arm interface - not least incl...

ByteMavericks

I’ve automated downloading and installing the extensions for rtg (and networking): https://github.com/ByteMavericks/MinimigMiSTer

ByteMavericks

Robinsonb5, I should pick this up separately, but is it possible to port the blitter (etc) from fpgaarcade for performance?
