Re: [minimigtg68] Re: Compiling DE1 version from source
I am happy to let you people know the status of this thread. Yesterday, I could get Minimig running stable on my DE1.
I worked with revision E new, booted with kickstart 1.3, and tried with succes load workbench 1.3, and a couple of games. Could not play, because I need a splitter for the ps2 output (for joystick or mouse).
I am just amazed. Thank you very much Dennis van Weeren !!
Ok, now I am getting something a little bit different, actually, as described by Mark.
Then, I did as suggested by Laptev, and formatted one of my SD using my camera, and then got this:
SPI card found!
FAT16 found!
Loading SPIHOST... Start SpiHost Minimig Controller by Dennis van Weeren Start FDC EMU
The HEX0, HEX1 and HEX2 show "000" HEX3 is not ON.
At this point, I think I have a problem with my LCD. I will not be able to check with a CRT monitor...
too bad.
This project from TobiFlex is sooooo cool, and I hope I can run it soon on my board. You engineers, keep doing this great job, there are lot of people out there really supporting you in some way, as I do trying are reporting the test. That is all I can do, as I am a begginer on FPGAs.
I hope I could do more...
Thanks Tobiflex, good job, and thanks aoo people for all help I got.
With different kickstart version, i get different results for adf loading.
Some adf files which were not recognized with kick 1.2 are recognized
with kick 1.3 and vice versa.
Sometimes one or several resets within the disk selection menu make the
adf readable.
I have tested the DE1 version with 4 sd cards. Two of them absolutely
won´t run, a Kingston 256 MB and a 512 MB CnMemory card. A 2 GB Extreme
Memory SD Card and 32 MB Sandisk MMC works in most cases.
Sometimes an additional reset helps to boot up the kick rom file.
Tested with the file produced by Tobias and self compiled.

Dirk
