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...

Maybe CED v4.2 requires all 020+ instructions and addressing modes?

The FPGA CPU is missing some features, yes?

Yes I think so, that's why i installed the 68000 version of ced.

About trying on a real amiga . I sold my real amiga's after building the minimig's so I can't test it here, sorry about that..

I agree, this sounds like a different scenario from what I had. But since the Core is under development, bugs like these (reproduceable ones) are nice for Mike and Yaqube as this can help fix the Core up.

reproducible bugs are can be easily fixed usually. I have a real a1200 to play with so I can compare the blitter behaviour.
I am starting a log of known bugs, and this will eventually go up on the website, along with hopefully a code repository so everybody can submit fixes.

Yaqube will the daughter board be sold populated with 68060? and if not can a pga one like MOTOROLA (CPU) XC68060RC50A - Mask 01G65V fit it?

It's a bit early to comment on the daughter board but it will be available without the processor.

mikej do you have idea for when you'll be selling a consumer version of your fpgaarcade and is it still going to be like €¡80 to €230?

Will people be buying direct from you? or are you getting a shop/trader like amigakit to sell them for you?

yup, still looking in the 200Euro (+vat) range for the non-composite/svhs version.
Direct from me, although some distributors will also carry stock.
Things have been delayed by the need to respin the board slightly to adjust the DVI - audio spacing. This is done and I should get the PCBs back in a few weeks.

Just as a curiosity, will you be able to provide some sort of servicing if the board bricks ?
I guess you are the only person among the x-kazillion ones on this planet who are certified fpga replay engineer ;-)

The board has a firmware recovery mode where you can re-flash the ARM code - no matter what happens!

The board has a 1 year return to me in case of hardware failure, and will be repaired or replaced at my option. After that I'll deal with returns on a individual basis and will repair at cost if possible.

It's pretty easy to tell if the board has been damaged by abuse, and user inflicted damage is not covered, but will be repaired at cost if possible :)
Best,
Mike

This is excellent. Really looking forward to availability of these with an 060 board (or WHD compatible MMU in the CPU softcore ;)

Is there a preorder list for the replay board? Where?? I have two friends interested, too.

I assume you mean to try the softcore CPU in real Amigas. Check this out:

No I meant exactly what I said, try it on a real Amiga. That is not things being simulated in any manner.
