Home-Made TF536 does not boot

Post by Xata »

Hello. This is my first post, and I am usually silent, but I've tried everything I could find here and can't get past rainbow.
What I have:
  • TF536 I've built from scratch
  • 2022 firmware from github programmed with Xilinx Platfrom Cable
  • CPU from a batch that worked for another guy
  • CPU is soldered
  • Tried 100mhz and 80mhz osc's, no difference
  • Soldering checked under microscope and device cleaned in ultrasonic bath
  • Tried with CF card and without
  • Amiga 500 rev6a with licensed copy of K.S. 3.2.2
Observations:
  • I get to K.S. greeting on usual 68k
  • I get rainbow on boot or soft reboot
  • Led gets brighter from dim
  • Black screen after that
  • CPLD gets hot, but touchable
  • OE on SN74CB3T3245PW is always 3v3 HIGH
  • 68k data lines seem to transmit same pattern over and over again
  • Waiting for hour changes nothing
  • Can't find CPU clock pin, but OSCs give 100/80MHz
Can somebody please propose what can I do next to understand the cause of my issue?

Can you try Diagrom?

https://www.diagrom.com/

This should help us a lot. Since you get colourbars you're getting some code running.

I have a few suspicions but diagrom will help me narrow them down

Meanwhile tried different OSC's. With 66 and 50 MHz I get "green screen" after rainbow and a reboot loop. Not sure that makes sense though as I don't quite understand the logic.

The OSC should be 100Mhz.

EDIT: Nothing else will work

Are your SRAMs definitely around the right way?

(guess why I'm asking...)

Here is what I've got:

It boots OK with regular 68k

Edit: BTW OSC is back to 100MHz

Looks like it's trying to access fastmem. Wonder if STERM is shorted or stuck somehow
