Unboxing Altera USB Blaster (JTAG)

Altera USB Blaster (JTAG)

Autopsy:

The Altera USB-Blaster adapter interfaces a USB port on a host computer to an Altera FPGA mounted on a printed circuit board. The cable sends configuration data from the PC to a standard 10-pin header connected to the FPGA.

You can use the USB-Blaster adapter to iteratively download configuration data to a system during prototyping or to program data into the system during production.

Sidreloc v1.0 by Kryo/LFT

May 29th, 2012 No comments

Sidreloc is a tool for relocating SID tunes any number of whole pages, using a novel but remarkably simple algorithm. It can also relocate all zero-page variables used by the tune.

Sidreloc is capable of relocating 91% of HVSC #56 out of the box. Many of the remaining tunes can be relocated by tweaking the settings to fit them.

While the tool is SID specific, the fundamental algorithm could easily be adapted to relocate all sorts of 6510/6502 machine code that meets a couple of requirements (see “Observations” below).

Sidreloc is primarily a linux program, but it’s open source (MIT license) and you are encouraged to port it to different operating systems. Good patches will be merged into the official version.

CCS64 is a Commodore 64 Emulator for PC developed by Per Håkan Sundell.

CCS64 is shareware. This means that the program is free to use and to copy, but if you like it and use it regularly I would appreciate that you would register the program.
