TF1260 New Firmware Alpha Released!

[PaulJ_2.0]

You can send back to me to test that way we can eliminate either the Card or your A1200

It's fine, I can troubleshoot the issue have spare cplds and ram.
It's probably not the card as I have had issues with firmware revisions on the TF1230 too on this 2B.
I will plug away, but thanks for the offer.

Looking forward to trying this tomorrow!

Ok, finally got my account activated. Just wanted to say that the new alpha FW works fine on my TF1260. Good job! :)

With no boot device on the A1200 does it go to the insert floppy rom screen ?

LED power stays dim.

It doesn't even start to initialise.
Even Diagrom wont start.

Make sure your PCB edge is super clean - I found I had to clean mine every single time I updated the fw, maybe its due to higher current pulled by this card? Also, disconnect and reconnect your power connector then try again. Also check you are using the correct .jed for the ram. If you have the 6nS one use that, but if its like mine you will probably have the 10nS chip.

Some interesting results with full rev6 cpu, 1D4, KS3.1.4, Mediator tower:

50Mhz-66.667Mhz fine
75Mhz crash reboot
78Mhz-82.5Mhz instant freeze
93.75Mhz causes graphical corruption, freezes after doing cpuspeed again.
100Mhz completely stable

Superb work Mr TerribleFire!

And the all important AmiQuake Timedemo demo1 score is 17.3fps.

The fastest I ever saw for a Blizzard 1260 80mhz is 16.3fps, so TF1260 takes the crown easily!

I dont think its possible to make a real amiga using original CPU go faster than this without a cryo cooler. I'll fix 75Mhz in time and work on some stability things.
