Mike, what is the connector for beside the DVI output (the one which looks to be some kind of plugin option for a videocard) ?

Also, can you post some status on the current core. Like what is can perform today (cpu type, MHz equivalent, IO thruput etc) and what the roadmap is for the softcore ?

In case you also have some nifty bits of info about the daughterboard to share, that'd be cool too. E.g. the specifications for ports, options, cpu-type options, speed and last but not least: what one can gain from adding the board.

Well, I can answer one of the questions.
The connector is a second daughter board expansion connector which has joystick IO, audio and video on it. It allows a very small expansion board for the JAMMA output card etc. It most cases, only the big expansion connector would be used unless you want to do some funky video or audio stuff.

The CPU daughterboard is still in design, I'll comment more on that when I am sure what is possible.

I will be focusing on the softcore again soon and will update you then.

Best,
Mike

Hey, we always wants funky stuff...cool to hear the IO is available there. Nice to have for the future.

Ps! A pic of the daughterboard is here: http://www.minimig.net/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=36&p=4347#p4347 if someone wants to take a look.


Thanks to both you, Mike, and Yaqube for following these threads and answering questions and keeping us updated. It's a real boost to get news. Keep it up. :-)

Are there any cores apart from the amiga core that we can test ? Like arcade cores etc ? Could be cool to try out if they are available.

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..

Is usage of the board completly dependent on binary (AGA) releases by yaqube? (or someone else)

Well, I am building both the ARM firmware and FPGA core as well.
I am working to tidy it up, and there will be a full release which everybody can
contribute to as soon as I get there.

I have a wrapper release which contains building blocks for your own use as well.

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...
