eclaire XL P.C.B. aka "Atari on FPGA project"

It looks like Eclaire is not reacting to signals PROCEED and INTERRUPT on SIO pins.

I'm heavily testing it with #FujiNet interface, and I wrote a piece of code that is supposed to wait for interrupts incoming from the device, and it works like a charm on real hardware, but it hangs on Eclaire in the point of waiting for interrupt. I did this test on both pins - no success.

Is it a known issue? Or maybe it just my unit?

The Zucchini!

 

I built one of those back in the late 80s.

 

IIRC, there was some problem with mine where it looked like one of the output pins (I think - it's been over 30 years) was inverted, so it never worked.  I never did fix it, nor debug it enough to figure out if it was a software issue or a hardware issue.  I remember thinking that if i had the source code, I could easily have inverted the signal in the code to make it work.

Is there a how to document on updating the firmware and or Software on the Eclair XL?  I have the single board Eclaire, getting the keyboard lock up after being powered on for awhile also, many times the system does not recognize that a disk change has been made.  I noticed it alot using "the Print Shop" by Broderbund.  Insert Side A and boot,  When it asks for Side B, I would go and change the Atr/x to the side B image but the software keeps asking for side b.  Hit Return 10 times then it proceeds.   

Just want to update to the latest stable release. I love the Eclair XL, so nice and compact!!

This is the initial firmware which I shipped in that.

I just updated to v37 Core, from V24 that the Eclaire XL shipped with, should I also update the Firmware?  What is the latest Firmware and how do I find out what I have?
