U64 (Elite)/U2/U2+/U2+L v3.11 (Core: v1.43) Firmware Update

January 1st, 2024 No comments

A new version of the firmware for the Ultimate-64 (U64/U64E) / U2/ U2+ / U2+L by Gideon is released.

Changes in 3.11, compared to 3.10i/j:

  • This version adds WiFi support for the Ultimate 64 and Ultimate 64 Elite. Please read the manual on how to set up the ESP32 module. https://1541u-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/wifi.html
  • Assembly 64 integration. Many users use the offline version of the great Assembly 64 online database, by running Fredrik’s tool to copy the content into folders onto a USB stick. Now, the Ultimate is the first embedded ever system that integrates access to this online database! You can now simply download and play titles directly from the internet on your Ultimate device. Please read the manual about this here: https://1541u-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/howto/assembly.html
  • The Ultimate now supports a basic http daemon; also known as webserver. This allows some simple files to be served from the Ultimate. This server also implements a ReSTful API, which allows an external device to control the Ultimate with standard web URLs. Read up on the API here: https://1541u-documentation.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api/api_calls.html
  • JiffyDOS support for the built-in SoftwareIEC drive. This is a first step to make the internal drive more usable. More effort needs to be done to make the command set more compatible with CMD.
  • On the Ultimate 64 it is now possible to isolate the serial bus from the computer, which allows the Ultimate 64 to be used as external drives. Look for “Serial Bus Mode” in the “Ultimate 64 Specific Settings”.

Fixes:

  • Various small fixes, such as the telnet session closing upon mount, configuration of the cartrdiges that serve VIC data from external ROM, quite a few fixes in the emulated printer, configurable page margins, … and so on.

AVGCART (Atari SD multicart) v0029 Firmware Update

October 22nd, 2023 No comments

A new version of the firmware for the AVGCART (SD multicart for 8bit Atari) by tmp is released.

The AVGCART is a FPGA based multicart for 8bit Atari computers, extensible with SIO and/or ECI/PBI cables.

  • supports CAR (cartridge dump) files up to 1MB and most bankswitching types
  • supports XEX (executable) files
  • supports ATR (floppy image) files (read/write) – support is limited without an optional SIO or ECI/PBI cable due to Atari cartridge port constraints (e.g. SW that uses RAM under OS does not work)
  • supports ATX (protected floppy image) files (read-only, SIO cable required)
  • supports CAS (cassette) files (SIO cable required)
  • supports AVF (video) files
  • supports PDM (audio) files
  • fast file search, file shortcuts, randomizer and tons of other features
  • when used with optional ECI/PBI cable, it can expand ATARI memory to up to 576kB, it can also provide extra 48kB RAM to stock 16kB 600XL machines (some limitations apply)
  • firmware upgradeable via SD card (no additional hw needed)
  • SIDE2 emulation (compatible with U1MB and SpartaDOS X)
  • ability to stack emulated cart with emulated SpartaDOS X cart, together with SIDE2 emulated HDD
  • unlike some other products, most of the functionality is running inside the cart and not on the host machine’s CPU which makes it faster and more versatile (it can do stuff in parallel with host machine without having to gain 6502 control and doesn’t require soldering extra internal upgrades like Ultimate 1MB for some basic functionality like ATR emulation or memory expansion)
  • compatible with 600XL, 800XL/XE, 65XE, 130XE, XEGS (cartridge shell is too wide for 1200XL, bare pcb will fit, it is also too tall for 800, can be used with cartridge door opened and door switch triggered)

Changelog (v0029):

  • Added type 83 (SIC+ 1MB)
  • 1MB extmem support for ATR files (PBI/ECI)
  • Fix for X in stacked SDX (don’t disable IDE)
  • Some search fixes
  • XEX loader fix (Getris)
