But it's easy enough once the cable is done. I'm still trying to provide Candle with data which might explain why the new JED causes periodic config reading errors on my 800. Once that's resolved, I guess we're good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 you don't need to remove anything from the board, and i don't belive tl866 will be of any use what you need is xilinx download cable or compatible, and xilinx ise impact tool to preform this update 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the most toweringly talented coders on the scene (such as Avery Lee) have to fix bugs in their stuff. The important thing is finding the issues, which I am extremely good at doing immediately after releasing the update. There's a theorem that every program has at least one bug, and that every program can be optimized by at least one instruction. Therefore, by extrapolation, every program can be reduced to a single instruction that doesn't work! ? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flashjazzcat Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Finally (loosely) installed my PokeyMAX 2 in the Incognito 800 today to test plugins: This needed a fix the other day to get working fully (the released Incognito BIOS was not calling the hardware setup plugin), but since there is a pending update anyway (as previously mentioned), it's an opportune time to roll in fixes for previously untested plugin functionality too. My eyesight completely gave up the ghost yesterday (following a very bad night's sleep on Thursday) while I was soldering wires to the RTC chip to try and get scope readings of failed NVRAM reads for Candle to diagnose, but hopefully we'll get the last quirk ironed out soon enough. I'll try Sophia 2 as well if I can work up the energy to borrow it out of my 1088XEL; I can't install VBXE yet until I get one of the new adapters, although since Incognito has no VB signal, VBXE detection will be purely cosmetic (although you do get the NTSC palette setting).

I like to fix bugs as quickly as possible, but I'm working on the new features previously mentioned (auto-mounting carts, FAT writes, etc). Main BIOS update coming soon as well; this fixes the 'restore defaults' bug which crashes the Incognito setup menu. There seems to be little point in waiting until the new JED is debugged and ready for release. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the stereo plugin or update the core on your PokeyMAX to one which implements software control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here, this is the right type (IDC, 10-pin, double-row, 2.0mm pitch): https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Pcs-Pitch-Double-Headers/dp/B00899WOM6/ref=sr_1_3?dchild=1&keywords=straight+idc+2.0mm+10+pin&qid=1625664328&sr=8-3 (sorry, I ran out and distributed all the ones I had remaining, back then) Preparing programming cable will not be trivial, as you will need to adapt pitch from 2.0mm (Incognito-end) to 2.4mm (programmer's end), and that requires a special type of jumpers (can be bought off the shelf, as well).
