PiStorm firmware upgrade.
« on: September 10, 2023, 12:36:01 AM »
Hi, I guess it’s fairly obvious that no one on here needs more help than I do.
So I can easily find where to update most of the software for my PiStorm32 lite.
But I can not find where to get a firmware update. Can someone help me with
that?
Thank you,
Brad Hansen

Gentleman Thank you for this good information. I upgraded the file you pointed out.  But that is not
the file I am looking for. The file I am looking to update is the only file that does not come with the package.
The "firmware.bin" file. My issue with my PiStorm32.lite is that the HDMI function on my Pi has stopped working.
When I first set it up the HDMI output was working fine. Then I decide to just use VGA and so disconnected it.
Later when I went back to the HDMI I only get the EMU 68 grey screen. So I updated all the software, but I could
not find that "firmware.bin." Just hoping that this will fix my issue. Any information on where this file is and what
it exactly does.
Thank you,
Brad Hansen

Hello Andy, Chris Edward’s video “Amiga 1200 Pistorm32,” at the 31 minute mark. He identifies
the file “PS32-lite.gz,” and says to rename it to “firmware.bin.gz.” Can’t find any other place where
he talks about it.

HI, the only problem with the wiki is it assumes everyone is using Windows and I am not. And I have been
struggling mightily to figure out how to Partition the SD card on a Mac and I am not finding that answer.
Bummer...

Andy, No, that is not all I want to do. I want to create a P76 hard drive portion on my SD card so I can load my
WorkBench on there. And then setup a wifi connection and hopefully get my HDMI working from there. because
it is not working from where is is now. And I can only find instructions on how to do that on a Windows machine,
which I do not have.
Thanks
Brad Hansen

Any answer to this question. I have my Picasso96 setup exactly like the PIStorm in instructions explain how to .
But when I go into P96 Preferences why do I get this as my Board and not Emu64-VC4?
