General Performance with the current use of Musashi as the 68k CPU emulator is somewhere around a 100-125MHz 68030. It does work to some extend in a CDTV, but the lack of bus arbitration signal handling in the CPLD firmware will mean that the CD-ROM drive either does not work at all, or only works sporadically when the timing stars align. While the PiStorm should work with any DIP socket 16-bit 68000-powered system, the FC lines are currently not properly handled and no guarantees can be made for it working on anything except an Amiga 500, 500+, 10.
There is now an experimental bitstream available for the MAX V EPM240 part that can be flashed using the flash.sh script, but please note that this is not yet thoroughly tested and since not all silicon is created equal and this firmware requires overclocking the CPLD itself, it may not or may not work properly. There are currently some speed grade issues with the newer MAX V counterparts that prevent them from functioning as a replacement. Please note that the EPM240 and EPM570 used on the PiStorm board must be an Altera MAX II CPLD. Please note that just because it says "RevB_EPM240" does NOT mean that all Rev B boards are EPM240s. Joining the Discord and checking for the latest revision/BoM for the PiStorm adapter board is recommended. Hardware files are available in PiStorm_RevB_EPM240_74LVC16373.zip, but they may be out of date. It goes in the DIP socket on and acts in place of the CPU, but functionality can be extended beyond simple CPU emulation. The PiStorm itself is an adapter board intended to be paired with a Raspberry Pi Model 3A+. This is not meant to discourage you from making PiStorm boards for others to enjoy, but for instance selling the product as a commercial item and then pawning off support to the community if something doesn't work is absolutely not good™. The PiStorm is not a project for making money, it is meant to be an affordable way to replace and extend the functionality of EOL Motorola 68000 processors and have fun in the process. IMPORTANT NOTE: Selling blank or complete PCBs or derivatives on eBay or elsewhere for excessive profit is frowned upon and may lead to forthcoming related projects being closed source.Įven with the current global chip shortage (October 2021), components are not so expensive that you should pay up to a hundred dollars or Euros for a board. #PiStorm-Amiga bridged with #software-amiga, #PiStorm-pi, brigded with #software-pi and #PiStorm-chat, bridged with #ot-and-chitchat.
