I have updated openFPGALoader's @AlteraFPGA_ MAX10 support.
It's already possible to use a POF instead of svf.
Now it's possible to update UFM's sectors using a arbitrary binary file (no ihex or MIF convert).
A softcore's firmware may be updated like done for hardcore. 🎆
The 1942 core is now working on #Xilinx#FPGA s on the #MiSTeX#retrogaming platform.
I wrote a shell script which automates most of the gruntwork.
This is the first one ported with that script.
Thanks to the great work of @SeguraEng, it only took a couple of hours!
@SeguraEng (@somhi on GitHub) just got Toki, the second core of the @topapate jtcores working on MiSTeX! It already runs on Cyclone IV, and we still need to port it to Xilinx, but this is great news!
@hansfbaier@RetroDriven@topapate@JLCPCB Many retro sellers have vga to SCART cables that will be compatible as you leaved I think that jumper to give 5V at pin 9 of DB15.
Everything works so far! The #MiSTeX#FPGA console is already playable. Tested: FPGA, RP2040-JTAG, VGA output, OrangePi-Zero2W communication. Untested: HDMI, audio, SDCARD.
Many thanks to @SeguraEng for his great suggestions for the schematic.
#retrogames#retrogamer
Haven't forgot #Chameleon96 FPGA I bought at Arrow for 40€ three years ago. Has similar cyclone V as DE10 nano. Has some flaws like GPIO at 1V8, no direct clock signal, most GPIOs on HPS ARM side,...
Here I attached an FPGA Mezzanine to level shift the audio/video signals.
@kbeckmann Not much familiarised with Litex/mingen, but I don't see in the code any I2C register configuration. Is it somewhere else that part or it just works without configuration at all? Also were you using stock SD card or have you modified preloader/uboot?
@kbeckmann Where I can get your souce code for looking on how to initialise TDA chip?
I have ported Pooyan arcade core but using vga output at the moment
@nand2mario Pin 30 on MiSTer sdram modules is GND, so maybe better not to connect that pin on Sipeed dock.
Are the PMOD spacings according to Digilent's double PMOD specs? (should be 4x2.54 from pin to pin)
Synthesized @topapate's JTKIWI binaries for MiST & SiDi. I don't have either of those but have been tested on both platforms. Just removed credits macros and
