apc Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Hi, I put together bundle with couple of bits: launcher utility, fujinet-pc, netsio hub, and custom device file - all necessary pieces to connect emulated Atari (Altirra) with FujiNet. If interested, Fujinet-PC launcher repository is here: https://github.com/a8jan/fujinet-pc-launcher Instructions are here: https://github.com/a8jan/fujinet-pc-launcher/blob/master/Install.md and video instructions: FujiNet-PC-bundle-20220305.1_win-x64.zip It is not perfect. There is only Windows 64 bit version at this moment and plenty of room for improvements - you are welcome to help ? Jan 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfred Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Works well. Unfortunately I don’t know Python, so can’t help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feoh Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 I *do* know Python although I don't know WXPython but could easily learn What are the next tasks that need doing to improve this? Runs great. Super impressive. Thanks for all the hard work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Runs great. Super impressive. Thanks for all the hard work! For the Launcher "GUI" utility, more or less the core functionality is there. The stuff to improve is the build process (automate it), add 32-bit for Windows, prepare Linux binary bundle runnable on most common distros (likely in form of AppImage), prepare macOS bundle. Some cosmetics, GUI window can use better background picture. Current picture (borrowed from fujinet.online, thank you ) is jagged on window edges (limited by transparency support). Maybe 800/XL/XE skins? For the emulator bridge it would be nice to get other Atari emulators pluggable too. Altirra was ready for external peripherals. For other emulators it is likely their code needs to be modified/extended to support such thing. And FujiNet-PC, it needs to work on it to catch with HW FujiNet. ..or to start from opposite end, make some programs which will use FujiNet! ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feoh Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Thanks for putting this together! It looks like the bundle will need an update to handle the latest firmware/fconfig/N driver changes. Right now if you try to boot FUJINET-PC with a fujinet enabled DOS it will fail on FCONFIG saying "Fujinet not responding". I'd be happy to try rebuilding this. Did you happen to put notes together anywhere? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if usable, the "build notes" for bundle are here: https://github.com/a8jan/fujinet-pc-launcher/blob/master/Build.md First, fujinet-pc needs an update for FCONFIG SIO call. If interested, you can check here. https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-pc I will try to get into it during weekend. Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apc Posted August 11, 2023 Author Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) FujiNet-PC 2308.1 Fixed bug on Windows. Appkeys (FujiNet cookies) were corrupted on write. Thanks to Bocianu for finding and reporting that! Improved JSON parser. Fixed few memory leaks. Improved XEX loader (picoboot). Thanks to Fenrok! Included updated CONFIG with new feature to boot Game Lobby directly from it. Project: https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-pc Downloads: https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-pc/releases/tag/release-2308.1 FujiNet-PC Launcher 2308.1 All in one bundle with FujiNet-PC 2308.1, Launcher GUI and all necessary files to connect FujiNet-PC with Altirra emulator. Lightweight "scripts only" package with Launcher GUI script and necessary files to connect with Altirra (FN-PC binary not included). Updated netsio.atdevice file (Altirra custom device). Data sent to Atari is slowed down a bit to allow CONFIG program to work at HSIO index 0.

_The Doctor__ Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 is there a way to constrain the fujinet PC from grabbing extra memory or snagging pages from swap file/cache. It would help the folks programming the firmware and apps as memory leaks etc would become evident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetz Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 The bridge works great, thanks a lot! But is there a way to monitor the debug output of fujinet-pc? I'm running the launcher on MacOS and contrary to running fujinet-pc on the command-line, nothing comes up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freetz Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 May I ask one more question: I asked the question in the FujiNet FB group whether it's possible to use a real FujiNet and then use it with Altirra. One user mentioned that you (@apc) have been able to do so, is that true and could you tell me how to do it? The reason behind it is that I would like to work on the FujiNet firmware without having it connected to an Atari. I'm mostly away from my 8-bit hardware, so if I could just compile the firmware onto an ESP32 and then use that FujiNet instance to work with Alitrra, that would be awesome. So if anyone has any pointers, that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One user mentioned that you (@apc) have been able to do so, is that true and could you tell me how to do it? I was working on it in a past, but was not satisfied with the result, so it was not added into main code. wasn't reliable and I wasn't patient enough to solve the issues in a chain: [FN+NetSIO] <-WiFi/UDP-> [NetSIO hub / Altirra Device Server] <-localhost/TCP-> [netsio.atdev] <-custom device-> [Altirra] That does not mean I will not try again in a future. If you are interested to help with it: https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-emulator-bridge https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/fujinet-platformio/tree/master/lib/bus/sio/siocom and the best part at https://discord.gg/fbpVXhTfuAZ But if you really want some experiment ... there is serial port mode added into NetSIO hub ... then with 1050-2-PC cable one can connect physical SIO device to PC and use it with Altirra. From netsiohub help: --serial SERIAL Switch to serial port mode. Specify serial port (device) to use for communication with peripherals. --command {RTS,DTR} Specify how is COMMAND signal connected, value can be RTS (default) or DTR --proceed {CTS,DSR} Specify how is PROCEED signal connected, value can be CTS (default) or DSR Example: python -m netsiohub --serial /dev/ttyUSB1 --command DTR NetSIO HUB v0.14 Serial port: /dev/ttyUSB1 DTR -> COMMAND CTS <- PROCEED Altirra Custom Device Server v0.8 Waiting for localhost connection from emulator on port 9996 -- Ctrl+Break to stop You may end up with something like this on you desk: - SIO port using 1050-2-PC/USB for communication with Altirra - USB port for firmware upload and debug console Here is the netsiohub with serial mode in action with 1050 floppy: (video has very low audio, you need volume up, sorry) Disclaimer: Just for fun not for serious use, don't use to make backup of your floppies! -Jan Edited January 13 by apc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freetz Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 (edited) Thank you for this detailed answer, Jan! I was hoping for a simpler solution like this: I have gotten FujiNet PC to work with Altirra and the AltirraBridge via NetSIO. So I was thinking if I run FujiNet on a standalone ESP32 and use that one's IP address for NetSIO, then Alirra would talk to the "real" ESP32. I would not need the Atari because the functions that I plan to work on are only on the ESP32 side (adding printer and e-mail functionality). I have so far bought a ESP32 S3 (because it was the only one I could find with 16 MB of flash and 8 MB of PSRAM), but compiling/flashing fails unfortunately, so I'm at a dead end here... EDIT: I'm sorry, I didn't make the connection between you, the Fujinet Emulator Bridge you mentioned and that this was exactly what I was using ;). So that means I kind of got it working the "right" way, I just need to get the ESP32 running "proper" Fujinet rather than just Fujinet PC...
