Re: First Amiga 600 FPGA Accelerator
EveN with an 030 , my 600 needs more speed. Interested!

Re: First Amiga 600 FPGA Accelerator
Neat! I don't have an A600, but I think this is a very cool idea. I hope to see it spread to other classic accelerators. What speeds do you think you can achieve with which FPGA?
At the risk of feature creep, perhaps once things are working well you can add an SODIMM slot as well and some other ports to be made use of later if there's room left in FPGA for their controllers? (IDE, USB, whatever)

Re: First Amiga 600 FPGA Accelerator
if you get stuck with anything im sure Yaqube maybe helpful. He is building accelerator for fpga arcade.

Could a DIP socket version be made ?

Re: First Amiga 600 FPGA Accelerator
The desing should work now but without memory... I stuck with sdram controller. As i can see there are some works implementing minimig to de1 and de2 boards but this cant help me. Is there any examples of connecting tg68 to memory controller. Is there anyone who can help.

Re: First Amiga 600 FPGA Accelerator
    And here is video where led use clock from motherboard over clock buffer, clock multiplier to internal pll of the cyclone... Concept proven... http://youtu.be/33A-p8NTznk Ok here is the situation, all money I colected to start and finish this project is gone. I don't have money to finish it. I need money to buy some equipment like hot air gun, logic analyzer and need money to buy some more parts and more amiga 600 boards. So I send some suggestion to kickstarter but is there any way someone can help donating A600 board or something, or is there someone who can give me some kind of financial support. Can you point me where to go to find help regarding to this because as I can see there was number of project who are finished with help of amiga comunity. Idea is as you know to have open hardware and software website... Can someone point me what to do next. |

Re: First Amiga 600 FPGA Accelerator
You may have better luck finding someone who has the equipment you need and convincing them to let you use it

Personally I think you could probably get by without hot air for the prototype development, though you may risk junking a few assembled PCB prototypes in the process  Here's a recent pre-production prototype I've done using the drag soldering method with a normal iron and an optical magnifier for inspection.Regards Valentin

Re: First Amiga 600 FPGA Accelerator
I didn't write on this forum about the progress. I just want to inform that I m sill working on this project. It is hard and very slow but then again most important thing is that I m still working. It is not easy but definitely I m making some progress. Board now called Vampire 600.
So here it goes. http://youtu.be/Jf9zlNHBMp8 Performing reset using Accelerator board http://youtu.be/NT2oxErVZAU Vampire 600 starting BOOT ROM http://youtu.be/wXArv0G66oc Disabling onboard MC68K( bus takeover) and writing to Amiga color register with simple VHDL softcore http://youtu.be/XVnHosGFiU8 Controlling Amiga display with mouse using just FPGA(MC68K disabled) Those videos was the last stage of proving hardware concept and one step to the softcore integration. And one more video about using Accelerator board as logic analyzer for repairing Amiga motherboards. http://youtu.be/vVRQirToxAQ |
