If you want to use a Pi3/Pi2z and/or a PiStorm with 373 latches the you are on your own.

Seems somewhat less optimistic than the notes on the main page of your repo :

Experience always trumps early optimism. ;)

But well spotted.

Does anyone have the PiStorm PCB schematic in KiCad format?

I'm looking at rolling my own board design.

[exxos]

Thought it was in kicad format ? Though I don't remember offhand where the repo was.

Edit:
Can't see any PCB files other than @Badwolf repo for the ste https://github.com/dh219/pistorm/tree/w ... istorm-ste

I recreated the schematic for PiStormSTE from the PDF.

It's only got a few things added (and the second regulator for the other CPLD type removed). You should be able to use it as a basis for a refactored DIP PiStorm too.

Thanks. I've got it open. I just have to work out how your wires work as you seem to have used nets rather than labels.

Labels assign nets in KiCAD, I thought. ie. there's no distinction AFAICT.

https://docs.kicad.org/8.0/en/eeschema/ ... tml#labels

I've not used global labels, if that's what you mean. It's a single sheet design.

Oh I see! I usually use global labels as they're global (on the one sheet :-) ).

So many ways to skin a cat.

Does anyone have a pi4 SD card image they would be willing to share?

I've followed the GitHub instructions but it fails to load pistorm flash.

@PhilC Somewhere along the lines, the program that flashes the pistorm changed (or a part of it changed) People have hit this snag numerous times in Discord and have managed to work around it. But sorry I don't remember off the top of my head the details. There is an #atari channel in the official Pistorm discord if you feel like joining (it's probably the only place to find support)
