Minimig Won't Boot..
« on: July 26, 2011, 04:43:14 AM »
Hey guys,

I dusted off the minimig, and it wont boot. I made sure the SD card is Fat16, included a 1.3 KS ROM and a minimig1.bin file on the SD card. I get 6 flashes which means card is not recognized/found. This SD card worked before, any ideas?

Try downloading the SD/CF formatting tool "SDFormatter.exe" and use that to format your card instead of Wind0ws.

Ok.. Now I am getting a bluescreen.

Bootloader and FPGA versions. What the heck? I downloaded a bootloader from the google code site "Minimig1.bin". What do I do now? Is my FPGA version not matching my bootloader?

Update: I tried flashing the PIC with the YQ090421 release. My MiniMig is stock with no mods. Now I get a black screen after following the instructions. I tried to reflash with TinyBootloader, but all I get now is: "Connected to \\.\COM1 at 115200
  Searching for PIC ...
    "*K" not found, instead found:"ÁÁ". Abort.
      ERROR!"

What the heck did I do?

It really looks like you have a mismatch between the PIC and the core on the SD Card.

Look on Minimig.net for the last PIC release and flash the PIC first and then copy your core over onto the SD Card.  You may want to delete your prefs file too and let the Minimig create a new one.

I can't get Tiny Bootloader recognize the Minimig anymore. Even if I put the jumper on FPGA I get no flashing disk LED even with SD Card out. Is it time for someone to reprogram the PIC, or do I need a new PIC?

I have a spare PIC if you can't sort it out.
