TF1260 New Firmware Alpha Released!

[Cego]

I have a Rev 6 and would love to run the card at 66MHz. It is the best compromise between power and cooling. Running an 060 at 100MHz is 100% above recommended specs. The hardware is not getting produced anymore, so there's no need to push it to its limits. The ability to OC it via software is just perfect for the occasional instances where you would want 90 or 100MHz.

btw, running an 060 at 50MHz won't need any cooling at all, in fact its even cooler than an 030 at 50MHz.

I used to run my CSMKII XC68060RC50 at 75MHz. It even worked at 80MHz with RAM clocked at half speed. I never had any issues running it that fast. It was cooled by a simple Pentium cooler, and never got hot.
I'm not sure it would run at the same high clock with a TF card though. The TF's faster RAM makes it a completely different system.

My personal goal for my own TF360 with a Rev 6 CPU will be over 100MHz. I'll not ask Steve or anyone else for help if I cannot reach that goal. I'll learn Verilog and try to tune it myself.
The official FW cannot be well tuned for every CPLD/SDRAM/CPU configuration out there.

I'm currently running my TF330 at 66MHz, and have not reached any HW limit yet. These are well designed boards that will let you tune and tweak if you are into that kind of thing. Just don't expect anyone else to do it for you.

I'm looking forward to the TF360 release so I can play with the big boys. I just got myself a 060 Rev 6...

Tf360 is my next goal + the CD DMA code from the TF4060...

I think my use case is similar - I would run at 60-66 say normally to have a nice snappy workbench etc but most of the games I play wouldn't benefit at all from any overclocking - but then this great ability to overclock on the fly via software for those that would need/benefit is fantastic.
Mine is housed in a checkmate case and even with my currently poor cable management it should get more airflow than in a normal case, but still I would only push to the card above say 66 when I needed it.

I have updated the setspeed scripted icon set done by 32Bits to reflect the new speeds , and I have not altered the icon graphic too lazy :)

I could bundle them in the next fw release if that makes things easy for people?

Yes please, that would be brilliant.

Also reporting that my Rev 5 will upclock to 67mhz and thats it.
I agree with AlenPPC, not in favour of trimming 10-15% off just to get higher speeds for Rev 6's.

I also read that some set ups won't boot after a reset or power on? They get stuck in a reset? I think I have had this on one occasion in the past few days. After a reset, just got a black/dark-grey screen, and hitting CTRL-A-A wouldn't get it out. I had to shut the machine off for a few mins to get it to boot. I'm using a standard A500 power supply, I haven't tested voltages, it was a one off, I'm not too worried.

I'm 99% sure this is because the low voltage detectors on some older Amigas is crapping out at 4.5v instead of 4.3v. The give away is that CTRL Amiga Amiga isnt working because the LVD works by basically holding CTRL-A-A down until its happy.

Yes Steve the Voltage Detector on CD32 is a known problem sometimes, see link below for info

I'm at a total loss as to why my amiga isn't booting with the new firmware(s). Hanging reset line doesn't seem to be the issue. Probably something wrong with my setup, as it seems I'm the only one with a reAmiga board and this issue.

Back to beta for now. Will investigate further once I have another Amiga and/or other PSU to test with.
