09:21 PM v18: I've been trying out some other parts of the hardware in advance of the new boards. The clock generator and the i2c v... foft
09:09 PM Bug #47 (Closed): CORE 13 - Paddle, Touchtablet issues: foft
09:08 PM Bug #47: CORE 13 - Paddle, Touchtablet issues: In the next run of boards we are added a variable resistor to allow adjusting the level the paddle detector uses.

09:06 PM Feature #24 (Closed): A board with Atari SOUL!!!! (ROM in block ram support): Added basic support, see related issue.
I still plan to do the flash reading later. foft
07:56 PM Feature #24 (In Progress): A board with Atari SOUL!!!! (ROM in block ram support): foft
09:05 PM Feature #37: SD card insertion support: Confirmed that SD detect works.
Added primitive insert/eject support. Its kind of crap, but it works...
Boot wi... foft
07:57 PM Feature #37: SD card insertion support: Another place we need to check hardware before new boards... foft
07:56 PM Feature #37 (In Progress): SD card insertion support: foft
07:55 PM Feature #14 (Closed): Svideo core for first prototype: I don't see composite and svideo as core outputs, much worse quality even when perfectly done. I'm pretty happy with ... foft
07:53 PM Bug #56 (Closed): Galaxian Cartridge crash: Working fine on recent cores foft

09:14 PM Feature #12 (Closed): Set up redmine backups!: foft
09:14 PM Feature #12: Set up redmine backups!: My second disk died before I moved it to the NAS. Never mind though, recovered the data. Now backup is to my nas sinc... foft
09:13 PM Bug #17 (Closed): NTSC crashing on some builds: On second thoughts... closing until we see it again. foft
09:11 PM Bug #17: NTSC crashing on some builds: Not seen this for months, think it was an issue around this time that has been fixed. Marking as normal priority for ... foft
08:51 PM Feature #7: Implement I2C vga/hdmi support: Added to the video settings 'VGA connected' and 'HDMI connected' which look for the start of the DDC sequence '00FF' foft
08:25 PM Feature #7: Implement I2C vga/hdmi support: Setting back to normal since the hardware side is working fine. foft
08:25 PM Feature #7: Implement I2C vga/hdmi support: HDMI is working too... “00 FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 10 AC … foft
08:23 PM Feature #7: Implement I2C vga/hdmi support: VGA is working... receiving “00 FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 10 AC …"
Now for HDMI foft
08:00 PM Feature #7: Implement I2C vga/hdmi support: I had the pin assignments backwards. I can now write 4/5 to the control register and read it back. This should be cha... foft

09:38 PM Feature #7: Implement I2C vga/hdmi support: Looking on signaltap looks like slave reads of the control register are not working. Hmmm. foft
09:36 PM Feature #7: Implement I2C vga/hdmi support: Picoscope has i2c debugging and linux drivers:-) Installed them and will connect that up and take a look tomorrow. foft
09:28 PM Feature #7: Implement I2C vga/hdmi support: Writing some code to say:
select channel1
read selected channel
write to random slave on channel1
select chan... foft

08:49 PM Feature #15: Implement programmable PLL: OK, confirmed this chip is working. I programmed it over i2c and am now getting two different clocks output on CLK0 a... foft

09:58 PM Feature #15: Implement programmable PLL: Been adding i2c to the zpu. Mostly working I think, a few timing issues to solve. foft

09:59 PM Feature #15: Implement programmable PLL: To do this I need to add i2c support to the ZPU. I'm out of ROM space without easy fixes. There is actually quite a l... foft
09:24 PM Feature #15: Implement programmable PLL: Going to power this up urgently before new boards made, to check hardware side is fine. admin
09:23 PM Feature #15: Implement programmable PLL: Attached the note on how to program manually (without clock builder help) foft
09:22 PM Feature #15: Implement programmable PLL: Attached header file for programming clk0->10MHz and clk1->30MHz.
These are generated with clock builder pro, down... foft
09:25 PM Feature #7: Implement I2C vga/hdmi support: Going to at least check this chip is wired properly before the new boards are ordered admin
09:24 PM Bug #18 (Closed): Power on Switch: Panos fixed this for the next run admin

10:30 PM v17 out and new boards: The high-res antic work is still ongoing but I think this is now stable enough for general use.
* High res antic s... foft

11:12 AM Feature #3: High resolution antic support: So antic output looks near perfect. Some blue blobs on the left which I need to investiate. The shift register is cle... foft
11:11 AM Feature #3: High resolution antic support: Still not onto GTIA! Doing some debugging on the non display parts of antic output. Improved my visualation tools to ... foft
