It should be pressed down so it bottoms (plastic on the pins touching the socket). In case of any error, check that the piStorm adapter is pressed down firmly in the CPU-socket. Initial check – can the piStorm read and write to the CHIP RAM ? Login as ‘pi’ and change directory to ‘pistorm’. Power on the Amiga, the pi will be powered and boot up (the output from the Amiga will be just a black screen (or any other single-colored screen, I usually get a red one before the emulator starts) until the CPU emulator is started). Mount the pi on the adapter with the USB port facing towards you, and the HDMI connector on the right side.Ĭonnect the HDMI output and a keyboard. Align both rows of pins with the CPU socket, then, without any pressure on the board, move the adapter up and down (front and back) on the socket to feel the point in which the pins are centered in the socket.Ĭheck that all pins go into the socket an press it down until it bottoms. Replace the CPU in the Amiga with the adapter board (the Pi connector should be on the left side). Shut down the pi, disconnect everything and separate the adapter from it. Shut down the pi, take a look 20 pixels above :), disconnect power and connect the piStorm adapter to the GPIOĬonnect power and let the pi start, check network connectivity or re-setup if necessary.īuild the program to test access to chip RAM ‘pigpiod’ (for testing the GPIOs) above keeps the pi waiting for 90 sec if not killed before shutdown. This is as far as you get without the piStorm connected, so it’s time to shut down the pi and then stuff it away until you get your piStorm (- shutdown and continue as below if you already have it).
PiStorm – experimental stuff wip-crap Shut down the pi
Balenaetcher blank screen update#
Only build the emulator for use/test later on – skip the CPLD update for now and do that when the wip-crap build is going to be used. Optional step, get and build wip-crap development version
This MUST be run disconnected from the PiStorm, just power up the Pi with USB and do it outside the Amiga entirely.
Balenaetcher blank screen install#
Usually a reboot is recommended here, but in this case not necessary, so continue with the section below and install some packages and test the GPIOs. (everything except the basic installation can be done without network connectivity, but it is easier to do it over SSH than at the terminal) Using raspi-config, set wifi-credentials (System Options) and activate SSH (Interface Options). Use the official Raspberry Pi Imager or a third party tool like BalenaEtcher to write the Lite version of Raspberry Pi OS to a SD-card and start up the pi This is not the only way to do things, and necessarily not the best way, it’s my way 🙂 Pi setup
In this guide, I explain how I set up the piStorm, beginning from a fresh board (with just the pins and pi header soldered onto it) until it starts up the Kickstart “insert disk” screen.
