FO 09:44 PM Bug #67: Pokey two tone timing problem

I found if I pokey 53775,11+128 on the Atari then it matches the Eclaire output. Unfortunately forcing the serious output on eclaire to 1 or 0 does not change anything. Still its something to go on! foft

So, errr identical then! Going to have to think about this one...
B is Atari, A is EclaireXL.

Nope, seems to be some interaction with the noise filtering. I wonder if the delay also needs applying to the pulse from the timer, that then hits the noise filter. foft

A 2 cycle delay on the reset fixes both the 4 cycle and the 9 cycle case.
Now to check this specific example! foft

I was concerned that my clocks were off at first since I was running in VGA mode, but that changes vsync slightly (50Hz vs 4.86Hz) which of course also impacts audio frequency:-) Debugging in RGB mode gives a perfect match. foft

Been measuring cases on the scope...
Confirmed the extra cycle delays described in that forum post on my 600XL. Confirmed missing on the EclaireXL implementation. foft

FO 09:09 PM Feature #65: Implement ATA to SPI bridge

What is used in set features?
0xef set features, then set feature 1 + lba mode?
Think this can probably be ignored. foft

FO 09:04 PM Feature #65: Implement ATA to SPI bridge

Identify:0xec
0->SCNT,SNUM,CYLL,CYLH
0xa0->HEAD
0xec >STAT
read stat -> if 0 then does not exist! Then wait for BSY to clear and RDQ to set.
read data -> 512 bytes
See above for the interesting bytes from this. foft

Probably want at least DRQ(3/ 1=ready), RDY(6 /1=good) and BSY(7/ 0=not busy) in the status reg foft

Simple read seems to be:
sector address-> 4 lba regs with $e0 in high part
scnt-> 1
stat-> cmd

FO 08:24 PM Feature #71 (New): Add support for user firmware updates

Add support to load new firmware from sd card. Then it can be applied immediately for testing or flashed.
I'd like this to make it easier to build/test new firmware. foft
