@ Yacube
Count me in for a daughterboard ;-)

Frankly speaking there is not much to show right now. Everything has been delayed slightly.

I should get the new revision of the board shortly after Mike has verified the design. The daughter board should be ready in January.

In the meantime Tobias has managed to implement missing bitfield instructions. It has increased the core size to 75% of the FPGA.

We are still working on fixing minor problems. Finally we've got the RNC Copy Lock games to work.


@Yacube can i use my new unused ceramic PGA 060 rev 6 (71E41J) on your daughter board ?

Definitely :)


Sweet, i'm happy that I hold back this CPU then ;-)
Maybe it's possible to overclock the cpu in the future this cpu can run 80 mhz easy..

As soon as I finish testing the DRAM the first 10 will go out to early adopters.
Looking ok now.
I'll immediately kick off the assembly of another 50 or so early Feb.

/MikeJ


Looking good, NICE.. !!

I'm still in China but I have got almost enough parts now to build another 50 boards. Jakub has his up and running. I'll post some vids when I get home early this week.
/Mike


Where are the vids :-) ???

Nice vids, looking good Mike.
Also the benchmark looks nice 19.20 x A600 are good speeds indeed.
I hope Yacube is also getting along with his daugtherboard, it's a bit quiet.

@Yacube is there some new info to share please ;-)

@MikeJ Looks like it's up and running, is there any new production indication for the remaining boards ?
I'm I corect to say the the production round will be for 90 boards (you have been collecting parts again)

keep up the good work

@Yacube,

Whoa yacube, now that looks very nice.
I'm happy to see you have indeed put a RTC on it :-)
What I Want to know is how you are going to get it connected to the revB boards,
Because the connectors (joy,mouse,keyboard ect.) are all dubble stacked on the revB boards.
So the connection to the expansion connector have to be very long, or are you ussing some mini cable ?
But a big hand for your disign again looks very nice.

You can buy an 060 for about $40.


I have a 68060 MASK E41J on my desk here, so I hope that Yacube will put a socket on the board so I can drop in this sucker... :-)

Why make 2 variants when you only need one?  If you don't want the 68060 then you buy the main board with the soft CPU (ideal for most uses and gaming) and then buy the daughterboard if you fancy more power, USB, Ethernet, etc.

Mike's idea of having just one main board makes more economic sense.  Two or more options is just going to add to the base cost.


I have my own MC68060RC50 with the Mask 1E41J special for this board.
I think 2 variants are better 1 with and 1 without CPU just the socket, all happy.

You don't want USB, Ethernet, extra RAM and the RTC?


Sure I want one, I have the 060 on my desk for the daughterboard :-)
So two variations of the daughterboard will be fine one with and one without cpu
Why buy a other CPU when you have them @home on the shelf

And more RAM?  Yes please !! But I want to know much RAM is on the daughterboard :-)

Trying hard not to be jealous.... Any first impressions?


I also recived my FPGAArcade board yesterday (first batch).
We have no firmware yet (.bin), because MikeJ is to China in a hurry for work last friday.
He dropted the boards off @ the airport.
He will upload the needed files to us soon.
So all we can do for now looking live at it without any action LOL ;-)
We realy need the files !!!!!!!!!! hahaha....

How many fpgaarcade boards has been sold so far?


I know there are 10 promo boards (First batch).
espskog have one
Stefan have one
I have purchased one
So I know 3 persons the others i don't know.

I'm Running WB3.1 Filesystem PFS3 v5.1 with Magic Icons/Newicons right now.
For some reason the turbo/cache mode is not working yet (it gives red screens and reboots) So the speed for now is 6.03 times A600.
The AGA Firmware is from yacube and I hope there will be a update soon so I can use this @ full speed.
A other strange thing is when I use Cygnused, my textfiles get corupted when I use the editor.
When I use the .HDF in UAE Cygnused is working without trouble/errors.

The board is a nice build so small, yet so powerfull ;-) a real gem if u ask me !!
I'm very happy with this FPGAReplay board..

Regarding CynusED and corrupted text, this is not a Replay board issue. It is just a screen mode issue.  Had this on my Amiga 4000 awell. Just put it to use "Workbench Screen" instead of its own screen. Then it's ok :-)


Sorry I have to disagree.
I'm using Workbench screen.
Cygnused V4.2
1. Load s:startup-sequence into ced
2. delete first line.
3. now use the cursor down key to go to the bottom of the text.
4. text is corupted.

Don't save the file ;-)

When I put this .HDF image on WINUAE (so my workbench .HDF), I do NOT have this problem.
All is fine in WINUAE without coruptions.. same HD same settings.
You also have a FPGA Replay just try it out...

Maybe CED v4.2 requires all 020+ instructions and addressing modes?

The FPGA CPU is missing some features, yes?


Yes I think so, that's why i installed the 68000 version of ced.

About trying on a real amiga . I sold my real amiga's after building the minimig's so I can't test it here, sorry about that..
