Also, bootable RAD drive would also be nice on a separate memory.
I think there are RAM controllers freely available, to be programmed on FPGAs. |
I think that’s only possible if you write kernel module that is loaded first. The kernel module most then creates a SWAP partition at cold boot, it’s a bit tricky.

Ok. After I've done the HW I call frieden brothers.
Other than that: Learning FPGA programming would not be too stupid hobby. I just do the Helloworld first.

| update, added "simple GFX output to a LCD screen (no need for GFX card in the very lowend)"
It can be done on xcore but most likely also by the lattice.
(example of GFX (+audio+demo) done without any display card, with 8kt ROM and 1kt RAM and 20Mhz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sNCqrylNY-0 ) _________________ - KimmoK // For freedom, for honor, for AMIGA // // Thing that I should find more time for: CC64 - 64bit Community Computer? |

If it could be programmed to be a floppy disk controller to read off old Amiga floppy disks then I would be a lot more interested in the Sam than I am now. |
Anyone starting a bounty for this? I would consider donating. _________________ Men who have girlies in their avatars are Girliemen! |

| Well I might in the future need some sort of gate/entrance controller. And I would love to use amiga as a base for that. I guess the FPGA would be perfect for that, since I would not need a lot of CPU power.
The price of the main board does not really matter, since a total gate cost a lot..
I might know more later this year. _________________

Note that SAM 460 board has similar implementation
Lattice XP2 FPGA with 80 I/O pins expansion connector (connector is optional) And there is FPGA Resource for OS4 http://www.acube-systems.biz/download/fpga_res-53.1.lha _________________ Future Acube and MOS supporter, fi di good, nothing fi di unprofessionals. Learn it harder way! |

Contact E3B as to whether he would be interested in filling a bounty where the Catweasel controller is retrofitted into the Sam440/Sam460 Lattice XP2 FPGA... since this would also work towards some parts of the Classic Chipset being retrofitted to the newer machines as well.
I would certainly be interested in hooking up an older External Amiga Floppy drive to be used with a sam440ep and reading any older Amiga or non-Amiga disks with that.
or update the Catweasal controller for "gary" style trackdisk.device functionality and provide access up to 4GB using an SDcard or micro-SD card slot (no need for anything fancy to do this)
it would really help with Classic compatability as well as future access as well. |
