SD2Iec Firmware v0.10.0Pre4 Released

26 October 2010 2 commenti

SD2IEC – è un’interfaccia hardware basata sul microcontrollore Atmel ATmega644 (ATmega1284p) che emula il Floppy Drive 1541 del Commodore 64/VIC20 e grazie all’usilio di una normalissima scheda SD possiamo caricare centinaia di giochi/demo e altro ancora al posto di utilizzare gli ormai ‘introvabili’ Floppy da 5¼ pollici.

Hardware e Firmware sono disponibili sotto licenza open source (GPL).

Changelog:

2010-10-26 – release 0.10.0pre4

  • Bugfix: Wheels with SuperCPU timing issue corrected.

1541 Ultimate I / II: New firmware v2.0RCA

E’ stato rilasciato l’aggiornamento firmware v2.0RCA per l’interfaccia 1541 Ultimate I / II di Gideon.

Questa versione del Firmware e’ anche disponibile per l’interfaccia 1541 Ultimate I dove i fix e le nuove implementazioni sono solo per l’MK1 (niente RTC, emulazione TAP, usb …).

Fix di maggiore rilievo:

  • Freezer bug fixed.
  • Cartridge Freezer reactivated after DMA load.
  • MK1 support completed.
  • Tiny fix added for USB (connecting a powered hub caused the C64 to be powered by the hub!!)
  • Updater fixed for older FPGAs that don’t support the capability register.
  • Memory controller for MK1: removed DACK for write cycles.
  • Added dummy I/O clients, for missing modules in MK1 FPGA.
  • Rewritten first bootloader (…)
  • Added second drive support in software.
  • Added audio switch. If second drive is available, it will be available on the right channel.
  • ‘Chars’ linked instead of loaded from Flash. MK1 doesn’t have charset in flash…

      1541 Ultimate II: Rilasciato il nuovo firmware v2.0RC5 e i Sorgenti

      testo tratto dalla Homepage 1541 Ultimate:

      • Last firmware version: 2.0RC5 is now downloadable from the download page.
      • Ultimate-II sources released!

      You can access them through http://svn2.xp-dev.com/svn/1541UltimateII/.

      For those who know how to use SVN, you can do a checkout to create a local working copy by typing:

      svn co http://svn2.xp-dev.com/svn/1541UltimateII/trunk

      in an empty directory. I am working on a short manual, and on access to the tools needed to build the project. This time, the FPGA sources have been released as well. ;-)

      1541 Ultimatetesto tratto dalla Homepage 1541 Ultimate:

      il software per l’interfaccia Ultimate 1541 II è stato completato. Nelle ultime due settimane ho fatto molti progressi implementando tutte queste features:

      • Support for USB devices with multiple LUNs (like card readers)
      • GCR (G64) supported added, including write (the Ultimate-I couldn’t do this)
      • T64 file support re-integrated.
      • Tape support, using TAP files (I needed to test the hardware anyway!)
      • Comprehensible menus.
      • Real time clock functional  (still need a clock widget…)
      • I made a wooden mould, to simplify closing the plastic cases without damaging them.

      Penso di riuscire spedire le prime 40~50 interfacce il prossimo Mercoledì! Le rimanenti interfacce saranno spedite al più presto! Grazie per la vostra pazienza!
