MiSTer FPGA Forum

It looks like with a very simple hardware design from the reference implementation I should be able to generate a simple RBF that exposes an 8-bit memory mapped register of the LED's on the board, which I can then access through a memory mapped area of /dev/mem. I think that will be a good first step to have some simple user feedback. After that I ...

Good suggestion, thank you. I will try that approach, because if it works it will immediately get me what I want: graphics output through HDMI. Very beneficial to the end user, for sure. But if I run into too much unknown territory too quicky, I may take a step back and start by adapting a simple ghrd example like in this tutorial (which I am curre...

Thanks! Good idea, I definitely want to add video output. I only implemented the bootloader and kernel from scratch because I wanted to learn the entire process from the basics. Perhaps it is possible to use the u-boot and kernel from MiSTer and have video output already integrated? Or is the necessary rootfs contents for a simple MiSTer with video...

Sorg, Rysha told me to ping you if you want to talk about adding this to MiSTer-devel. Feel free to contact me anytime. I can't send private messages through this board yet, only receive (no permissions).

Hi all, I think I managed to come up with a solution to have a minimal MiSTer SD card image that will resize itself and install MiSTer on the DE10-nano. It can be flashed with any general purpose SD card flashing utility on any platform. I believe it's ready for beta testing by anyone who's interested: https://github.com/michaelshmitty/mr-fusion. I...

Locutus73, thanks! Sorgelig, thanks. I wanted to temporarily increase the memory for an experiment I was doing copying something to /tmp tmpfs. But it turned out the problem I was having was not caused by insufficient memory. I have been experimenting to get live setup / resize working on the mister instead of through the sd installer app on window...

I'm trying to temporarily make more ram available to Linux on the HPS. From what I've found in various documentation sources this should be possible through u-boot. And it should be possible to set extra u-boot args in u-boot.txt. So I set mem=1000M in u-boot.txt but it makes no difference. Does anyone have any idea? Edit: I'm doing the assignment ...
