Update PIC on Minimig

[alexh]

When I suggested ACube look into (if they hadnt already) "Tiny Bootloader" many months ago, their response was "We'll evaluate it" which, to me, meant they didnt use it yet. The MiniMig they loaned me is still in it's box (because I dont have a shaver adapter yet) I'll try and get one this week and test it.

I was wondering if people could use their old Elvis smart card programmer to program these PIC's?

Edit: Doesnt look good :-(

ACube users: If you are based in the UK I can reprogram (or make you an alternative) PIC for the cost of postage (Send me a PIC + Stamps + return address).

The pic on our (ACube) Minimigs can't be flashed with new firmwares using serial/pc, is this correct?

It would appear so, but I've not confirmed it yet.

Also which firmwares are we talking about?

PIC & FPGA updates from Dennis

Have new firmwares been released?

Where have you been?

If so what's new and where are they?

New in this release is support for 256KB kickstart files as well as Amiga Forever encrypted Kickstart files. Improved error debug.

Have compatibility issues and writing to ADF been solved?

No and no.

@boing4000

Remember you HAVE to release the source code with every release ... or dont do any releases.

VHDL?? I thought MiniMig was written in Verilog?

My previous comment about releasing source was in response to the link to this ZIP file which has just a binary.

Nice to see active people... if I can just get round to getting a shaver power adapter for my MiniMig...
