Im doing the best I can... Until now VHDL is still a bit strange to me. In time and practice it will become easier. (as writing in english ;-) )

@alexh
you DONT need to remind me, I've already released a new core firmware with (comment) source code.
Also I was unhappy myself due to previous release with binary only.
In fact PAL60 is unnecessary to myself, its all for you who need it.

@alexh

In my understanding VHDL is Verilog. There is also a HDL programming language. Xilinx Webpack can do both.

If you take a closer look to the .zip file, you will find this directory structure:

Minimig-29-05-2008
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 4,0K 29. Mai 02:24 build
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0  35K 22. Jul 2007  gpl.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0  18K 29. Mai 14:03 Jumper.jpg
-rwxr-xr-x 1 0 0  320 29. Mai 14:34 readme_29-05-2008.txt
drwxr-xr-x 2 0 0 4,0K 29. Mai 14:30 source

So you can find the full FPGA sources AND binary inside the zip file.

Sorry, there was an error in zip file! Linux zip could unpack it but Winzip or Windows internal function had problems.
Now I fixed it!

Not by me, sorry. This compiler is too strange for me or I just don“t know the right steps.
Perhaps anyone else did some progress in this matter, it would be fine :-)

Is this a question or a statement?
The new PIC from ACube do have tiny-bootloader. If the timing you mentioned is right, this message will appear:
Code: [Select]

Connected to COM1 at 115200
 Searching for PIC ...
 Found: 18F 252o/452o

Flashing the PIC is already working here.
Handling this HITECH C-Compiler is my problem ;-) But I will not try further because C is really too strange for me.

Thank you, here is the error message:
Code: [Select]

(500) undefined symbols:
        _sprintf (main.obj)_printf (main.obj)
(908) exit status = 1

Right now I don't have the time to learn C. To me it is not as simple as 68k assembly. Verilog is also more like C but more logical to me :-)
