Raven. A homemade Atari-like computer

[Atarian Computing]

It seems your service is down but it was more to get it working (network). Not really going to use it for surfing :D

Looks like the docker container crashed. Gotta keep an eye on it.

Hi All,

Apologies if this question seems naive or even lazy, I'm just really confused with what JLPCBs system is doing? Are the ROM and RAM sticks really 4 layers or could this be the system misinterpreting the gerbers?

It's quoting me $200 to make the ROM and RAM sticks. :shock:

Thanks so much

Stuart

Oops wrong thread. Please move to my build. So sorry :oops:

With Gnuboy and Links awakening I have some issues. Sometimes the tiles are a bid messed up on screens and the game freezes sometimes Gnuboy is still running then. The freezing seems to block me from progressing in the first dungeon beyond a certain point:

Edit:

The GBC version of the game does work OK. So no freezing.

I start my RAVEN and i have issues.
It's hanging often my proc is 68060 rev.6.
I also have a question, at what frequencies does your processor run and what partition sizes do you use to make it run stably?

I can't really help with any of your questions, but I will point out your program counter on that crash screen is the first four bytes of TOS 2.06 ergo at some point your OS is likely tying to jump to a null pointer.

Are you using the correct OS?

Welcome to the Raven 060 club.

Do you have J106 jumpered? It also looks like you have the Front LEDs header jumpered. I have J106 jumpered and nothing on the Front LEDs header.

In terms of the frequency, I have a 48mhz OSC https://au.mouser.com/ProductDetail/815-ACHL-48-EK This means x2 the CPU is running at 96mhz. My CF card has a boot partition of 256mb

Jumper J106 ? To me it appears reserved and I left it open... what should it command ? :)

I have J106 jumpered on both my Raven boards. It is noted as reserved in the docs but not sure what is does and why I have it jumpered. @agranlund might be able to confirm which is correct.

My question was what devices do you use as HDD in Raven and how do you partition the disk, what partitions do you use, are they fat 16 or tos partitions and what are the allowable partition sizes in Raven. Of course I am attaching a photo of my motherboard, I hope it is clear.
I run today 68060 rev5 (generator is 28mhz) and comp is still unstable, the tos.bin is newest and screen from tos info is on the photo.
