DIY-A586 v1.6 by piotr_go

Is it possible to use both cores at the same time?

Yes, but you have to edit (with some hexedit) the name of the * .A586 ROM if they require other versions.

Wouldn't you make patha to 3.2.1?

I made an a586 -auto and can't enter the menu.
Can it be avoided somehow?

Hold down reset while turning on.

Thanks a lot.


Was it possible to fix something with PFS?
FFS often has validation problems.

It will come down with it yet.

I noticed a bug in your CORE.
Sometimes the FDD doesn't work after the reset (I have gotek from Zaxon).
He does not see it, the reset does not help, you need to reload the cora.

The CIA must be too fast, check this out:
https://github.com/piotr-go/FPGA/blob/master/DIY-A586/cores/amiga/mikan/mikan_v0.1.1.a586

Mikan 0.1.2:
- audio fixes (again )
- Copper fixed
- image crop fixes (PrintScrn)

... and news 2.0:

Not yet well tested.
At the moment I do not plan to share.

Way to go. This 2.0 looks great when it comes to memory.

When it comes to FAST, in 1.6 it would probably be able to increase, the paths are there. CHIP is another matter, the extra DMA logic in Spartan does not fit.
Any ideas on how to use 8MB CHIP?

Can you make a video on YT of the mikan core and of board rev2.0? Regards

What are the improvements of rev2.0?

Can you make a YT movie with mikan core and rev2.0 disc?

When I finish the AGA core. It will come down with it yet.
In days I will release version v1.9 (I skipped a few numbers ).

Larger FPGA, 32MB RAM, USB, Audio DAC.

Mikan v0.1.4:
I added the "auto switch" function. If a floppy disk is inserted into DF1 during reset, DF1 swaps with DF0.

For the switch to work properly, both stations must generate the _RDY signal. LEDs for stations that do not generate _RDY.
To DF0 we connect a regular station, to DF1 we connect an emulator (something that does not require a _MTR signal, v1.6 does not have _MTR1).

MAIN v0.4.4 beta:
I speeded up the boot.

@piotr_go Is there any possibility to remap your project to the Digilent ZedBoard Zynq-7000 ARM evaluation board (XC7Z020)?

No way. I already have these plates coming out sideways, I probably fired it on 9 or 10. different of their own

Hey, I finally managed to buy a chip for amiga_floppy_splitter. I therefore have two questions:
1. You also need to solder two capacitors 100nf and 10uF on the board. Which is which ? There are no markings on the plates.

2. How do you program this pic? I have a programmer for them, but are there outputs for mclr, pgd, pgc, gnd on any of the pins or do you have to solder the legs?

1. closer to pica give 100nF
2. all pins are connected

Thanks for the info on how to solder. Unfortunately, I'm lazy in programming. I'm using a PicKIT3 programmer, I hope it's ok, if not which one should I use? Photo of my programmer below. So far, I've used it without any problems programming a chip of another project according to the instructions https://speccy.pl/wiki/index.php?title=AmiPS2#Podpiecie_Programatora. Project also built on PIC processor, but bigger.
Below are photos of my programmer and how I connected the cables. I suggested the scheme, but I don't know if I deciphered everything correctly.




After connecting the wires of the cables, I get the message device not found.
Can you suggest something? Maybe there is a better, more adequate instruction for flashing such a pica somewhere?

ICSPDAT - _SEL1
ICSPCLK - _MTR
Vpp - _SEL0
Programmer power supply and high voltage programming.

For this project you use KiCad?
Thank you.

How often does RAM run in version 1.6?
I am asking because now TME does not have 5 ns, there are only 6 ns at 166 MHz.

And by the way: will any of the memory currently available at TME be compatible with version 1.9?

BTW great job!

Amiga ~56 MHz, PC up to 133 MHz, CL2

It's mainly about CL2 at 133 MHz.
