Will you write the drivers needed?

I would if I could! I obviously love the open source nature of this project and am prepared to tinker but drivers are a bit beyond me! I think it's a case of installing the ports on the back of the A1200 and one day we'll be able to use them all!

@Thread

Such a shame the first batch of PiStorm32 boards manufactured by JLCPCB had paste layer mask issues causing beads of solder to get wedged in the connector holes! Hopefully this will be sorted out and JLCPCB will respect the paste layer masks/paste locations provided rather than produce their own erroneous ones!

Excitedly awaiting a report from Michal regarding the prototype CM4 adapter boards for the PiStorm32! I pray that they work and are ready for production!

Great news! Will you also be stocking the CM4 adapter board and IO cable/port to the back of the A1200 case when that setup leaves prototyping?

Prototype board received 2 days ago and was undergoing testing! Release to GitHub imminent it seemed...although he seems to have fried his first CM4 due to a dodgy PSU! :o

The good news!

And so I have killed my first CM4. The lab power supply gave a voltage peak exceeding 5V significantly :(

The ugly news!

Michal is still working on the driver. WiFi doesn't work yet.

...rising like a phoenix! Only one mistake on the CM4 adapter board which is easily rectified.  8)

so can I still access my onboard IDE drive in my 1200 and also the microSD card when PiStorm-lite is installed with either AmigaOS3.2.1 or Caffeine OS ?

I don't have a PiStorm32 yet but I've done a lot of research. My understanding is that Emu68 will see both the SD card AND the IDE drive (max 1.6MB/s on each) whereas Caffeine will ONLY see the SD card drive as it works with Type 76 HD partitions (whatever they are). The SD card under Caffeine will act as a 21MB/s HD device (compared to 1.6MB/s max on IDE) so it's probably best to copy the IDE file over to the SD card anyway to make use of the speed increase under that environment! See this for more info:

Think you misunderstood. Its the otherway around. RTFM was wrong. The information is incorrect.

No, you misunderstood him! He highlighted "everything" indicating that the rule is to do everything you can BEFORE reading the manual! i.e. RTFM is a last resort in his opinion because presumably he doesn't always find them helpful (or accurate) himself! You both agree with each other! Celebrate good times!  8)
