MiSTer FPGA Forum

Hi, just installed my Ironclad Plus daughter board (5th batch).

It's works mostly fine but there are a few things I would like to check with owners:

• If you don't use GPIO to keep 2nd ram stick => you cannot use the power switch features (double click for reset). Tried the "Alt Power LED" connector, no luck.
• Digital out, doesn't work with SPIF cable.

I don't how to make this work, it's the same cable I used with my previous Mr FPGA board without any issue.

How do you guys output the sound from the Ironclad Plus?

While it's great to have a clean home for my Mr FPGA, I am not sure I would bought this if above trade off are normal.. I am sure I am doing something wrong, if someone has a solution I would be grateful.

Thanks!

One of my setups uses an Ironclad Plus and I can't say I experience either issue.

• If you don't use GPIO to keep 2nd ram stick => you cannot use the power switch features (double click for reset). Tried the "Alt Power LED" connector, no luck.

I'm not sure what you mean by this. I do not use a second SDRAM module and my power switch functions fine?

• Digital out, doesn't work with SPIF cable.

My digital out also works fine with a SPDIF cable?

Have you gone through the setup process again and double-checked your wiring? Would you like to post an image if you'd like us to check?

Thank you for your answer.
Got confirmation from builder that you cannot have a second stick of ram and enjoy power switch functionality. It turns off or on but no double/triple click unless you put GPIO (and lose 2nd stick).

For the digital out, I see the light 2-3 seconds at start and then it's gone. Not sure why, you confirm you always see the light?

Found the issue! All the switches needed to be on same direction on the DE-10 board, working great now!

Great to hear, that was going to be my next suggestion. Have fun!
