I'm working on a project using a Parallax Basic Stamp and would like to
have it display the results on the GBA as basic text. I don't know if I
can use the output of the stamp to program the GBA using multi-boot
system. I would like to be able to transfer the program without using a
flash linker module to load a communication program. The stamp gives me
full control over the method of the serial communication so I believe
they can communicate. I need to find out the specifics of the protocol
used without having to reverse engineer the MBV2 cable and software. To
sum up, every time I supply power to the GBA and Stamp I want the stamp
to load the program into the GBA using the serial interface and display
my data. I have the HAM compiler so I'm able to test the program in the
emulator. Does anybody know if this can be done or another simple
method that will produce similar results?

I just tried it a few more times.  It's still as flaky as ever with
version 1.21.  If you're getting a "No response from GBA" message and
absolutely no activity on the GameBoy, there's likely some software
conflict preventing access to the port correctly.

Quick check:  Make sure you're letting the "GameBoy" logo finish
bouncing and sparkling before trying to send data.

Try hitting "Stop" on UserPort while Xboo Communicator is doing
nothing.  If things are OK on the software side, Xboo Communicator
should close immediately when the UserPort service stops.  If it
continues to sit there, you have a software problem.  A fresh reboot
usually fixes this.  If (heaven forbid) it's a startup program causing
the problem, supress some startup programs by holding down shift from
the time that the Welcome screen appears to the time the hard disk stops
chattering and you can use Windows.  If that doesn't help, do safe mode.

If Xboo Communicator closes when UserPort stops, but there's no activity
at all on the GBA, there's no problem with Xboo Comm. reaching
UserPort.  If possible, test other (old) parallel port peripherals using
UserPort to see if UserPort is malfunctioning.  If data written to the
port addresses opened by UserPort reach the parallel port and
vise-versa, you either have a hardware problem or a timing problem.
(Or, of course, you might have the wrong port address range.)

If you get any activity at all from the GBA (corrupted logo, good logo
then fail, logo then freezeup, etc.), you have some sort of timing problem.

Hardware:  Double-check the cable.  Make sure the GBA can link to other
GBAs properly.  Play with BIOS settings for the port.

Timing:  Start with a fresh boot, play with the delay settings, close
non-essential processes in Task Manager, try setting the UserPort driver
and Xboo Communicator to "Above Normal" priority level, mess with BIOS
settings.  (Don't use "Realtime" priority; a frozen process on realtime
will completely freeze the entire system.  Use "High" with caution;
you'll still be able to kill a runaway process with Task Manager, but
it'll be goshawful slow.)

I also made an XBOO cable.  Sometimes it seems sort of random whether or
not it works, because the CPU has to try to handle timing while
multitasking under Windows.  It also seems to vary greatly from one
computer's port to another's.  A few tips I've found to help, in no
particular order:
-Play around with the delay settings.
-Reboot.
-What version of Xboo Communicator are you using?  I used to use 1.19,
which sometimes worked, sometimes gave data errors.  Now I have 1.21
(labelled as 1.20 on Devkitpro.org, states itself as 1.21 when started),
and it seems to work 100% of the time, even when I send a 160 KB
multiboot image.  The version history doesn't say anothing about
changing timings, but maybe it's just the particular build...?
-Try changing your parallel port's mode in BIOS setup.  My Toshiba
laptop seems to do best on ECP mode.
-Change XP's driver for the parallel port.  There seems to be a "Printer
Port" driver and an "ECP Printer Port" driver.  Either driver seems to
be compatible in either mode from BIOS setup, but it might have some effect.
-Close as many excess processes as you can.  Try running it in Safe
Mode.  The less multitasking your machine's doing, the better chance
your data will transmit properly.
-Try a DOS boot disk with nocash's original XBOO.COM.  Remember to try
the different speed modes and delay settings.  (I haven't tried it with
the ME-version DOS you get from telling XP to make a system disk.  I use
real MS-DOS 6.22 for all DOS-mode stuff.)  Also note that XBOO.COM does
NOT fix the header data, like Xboo Communicator does.  Your multiboot
image MUST have the proper Nintendo logo data.
-Try a different computer.  It's weird -- my Toshiba P4 laptop works
fine, but the family PII sends the logo and then fails, and my old 486
doesn't seem to be able to do it at all.
-Maybe try the Linux version of Xboo Communicator, using a Linux "live
CD" like PuppyLinux or Knoppix.

It seems the XBOO simply won't work with some computers no matter what.
It probably has to do with the parallel port controller on your
motherboard.  If this proves to be the case for you, consider making an
"Intelligent Cable" (PIC-controlled) or buying one of the commercial
multiboot cables.  Those are far more reliable since they do the timings
themselves instead of relying on your motherboard.

It seems that the cable doesn't work on some
computers, some time ago I made one that didn't work
on my computer but worked perfectly on a friend's,
recently I updated and changed the motherboard and
works now.

I have tried every posible configuration both with the
application and the bios, I really dont know why it
didn't work.

My advice: try it on another computer, it may work.

Hello All,

I am starting to use the IAR Embedded Workbench 4.11 for ARM with the
Gameboy Advance.
Does anybody have a Linker Command File and Startup file that I can
use with the Gameboy Advance?

Thanks in Advance,
Vital

He probably would want to use UART mode.  The only issue would be
making sure the voltages match up.

He could do it general purpose mode, but it requires way too much CPU
time.  The UART mode could trigger an interrupt when something was
ready to be read.

Mike,

  I found this website to be very helpful.
http://www.robmeerman.co.uk/project.  Download the report disc content, and
look for the source code for the serial interface.  It tells you how to put
the serial port into multi-purpose mode, and set each of the 4 digital lines
to the values you want.  You'll need to write a function that reads the
states of the digital lines.

I am very new to GBA programming, but would like to build an
application that links a GBA to a Garmin GPS that I have.

I have found a couple of sites that present this type of application,
but none of them share the C code segments required for the GBA to
receive the NMEA packets into variables in the code.

Can anyone help me with some example code?

Thanks in advance for any help...

Mike

Thanks for all who replied.

I remembered that I had the book "MicroC/OS-II", so I selected
uC/OS-II, from Micrium. My application is not commercial (so far), so
I can use the version that comes with the book.

I tried to use eCos but it almost drove me crazy to configure those
endless parameters. It is not for mere mortals, even the Charmed Labs
version.

Maybe he doesn't need to.  Maybe what he wants is an HTML browser that
derives its URL data from a file database encoded into ROM.

Has any one tried to make a intenet browser for the gba

Hello,

I don't know if that will suit your needs (it's not exactly a kernel)
but you may find it useful:

http://www.sics.se/~adam/pt/

It's basically very light-weight stackless threads, and it is released
under a BSD-style license.

Hope this helps!

Nicolas.

Hello,

Does anybody know a free multi-tasking kernel for the GBA?
It can be either preemptive or collaborative but must be light weight
and fast.

thanks in advance,
Vital

I am not the author of Xboo, but I did reverse-engineer it with the
help of a disassembler (more than 2 years ago !), and for
a time I dabbled with the possibilities of the cable beyond
just cart transfer. I've regrouped the results of my work
in the attached zip file. I hope it goes through the mailing list,
otherwise just ask and I'll send it directly.

Cheers,
--Jonathan

Hello,

I found an old message in this list asking for the source code of the
Xboo program, but the link mentioned in the answer is no longer active.
Does anybody have the source code to kindly provide me?

thanks,
Vital

It's very very easy to install:
1. Download devkitarm
2. Decompress somewhere (mine is in /home/davidr/devkitarm/ )
3. add devkitarm/bin to your path

That's it for installing! From then on, most gba tutorials will work,
as long as they use makefiles (and not the cursed .bat files).

Here are some GBA Tutorials:

Tile Quantizer converts 24 bit images in to 8 bit (256 colour) images
that contain 16 colour tiles (16 palettes of 16 colours each).

This resulting 256 colour image can then be used to grab 16 colour
tiles from.

Ah!
And where can I find a good tutorial to install devkitproARM in a
Linux Desktop?

http://devkitpro.sf.net/ might be a better way to go. devkitAdv is a bit
out of date.

Hi guys,
I'm looking for a good docs that explain how to install devkitadv (any
version) in a Linux desktop.
tnx

Hi guys,
I would like to know how I can build a gba project.
Yesterday I did try to do that but I didn't build anything, at first
because the KDevelop
didn't find the right compiler (I wrote the complete path in the
project and, after that, KDevelop found the compiler) and after that
because it didn't find the file crt0.s (even if I did write the
complete path)
Can anybody  help me, please?
Tnx

Hello,

I am working on a personal project that may or may not become
commercial, so I am trying to spend as little money as possible on it.
I am using the EPM570T100 CPLD from altera, and I would like to use
boundary scan to test the board and the firmware.

Does anybody know a free software for boundary scan? any help will be
greatly appreciated.

thanks in advance,
Vital
