+Stephen Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Sweet - now I have an excuse to try my new USB Xilinx programmer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roydea6 Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Candle, Is this intended for all Incognito users or only those having problems with the Cartridge support. The previous bios-upgrade worked for mine so should I do it again.. TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 no, just those having cartridge problems I'm planning some features to add to the BIOS, but this will require a lot more work than this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 I'm planning some features to add to the BIOS, but this will require a lot more work than this +1 for dedicated Hard Disk page, including boot-drive (recorded in NVRAM), etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 we will have to discuss such features Jon I was hoping for VBXE corer selector, maybe time/date set page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Britishcar Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 So run this XEX from the internal SIDE loader? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 here is internal fat32 loader updater side loader update for incognito boards this one uses newer version of flash ultility, thus the file size (data is compressed) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roydea6 Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 Via Fat32 I get a line of text CPLD upgrade needed .... use SIO. This is not the exact wording but as close as I can remember. SIO worked okay.. So do I need to flash the CPLD with the latest .jed file?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted October 7, 2013 Author Share Posted October 7, 2013 if you want to be able to use flashers with internal fat loader - yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariGeezer Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Updated both Incognito's CPLD tonight and all is good Carts still load as before I was waiting on another user to send his, but he never sent it, so I just did mine. That PC now goes back to it's hiding place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Forgive my ignorance, but how exactly do I get this XEX file to run on my system? I can't run it from SIDE (says I need to update the CPLD), and my SIO2PC program only does ATR images not XEX files. What program should I use to do this? I think the last time I used Spartados somehow, but someone else did it for me so I don't remember how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candle Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 Tempest, use AspeQT instead of sio2pc program you're using Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Tempest, use AspeQT instead of sio2pc program you're using Ok I will try that tonight. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Tempest, use AspeQT instead of sio2pc program you're using Ok I tried to transfer the file, but it dumps me out in to SparataDOS and I can't seem to do anything after that. Is there a command I need to run then? I'm getting status like this: Serial port speed set to 57600. [AutoBoot] Read sector 1 (128 bytes). [AutoBoot] Read sector 360 (128 bytes). [AutoBoot] Get status. [AutoBoot] command: $4e, aux: $0001 NAKed. [x16] Serial port speed set to 19200. [AutoBoot] command: $4e, aux: $0001 NAKed. [x14] Serial port speed set to 57600.

flashjazzcat Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 That's the Atari trying to read an ATR. I thought you were trying to boot an XEX??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 I did. I chose Boot Atari Execuatable. Maybe the program got messed up? BTW is there a Linux version of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Just tried it again and got the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashjazzcat Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 You'll need to disable SDX to boot anything, if it's enabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roydea6 Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 ASPEQT 8.8 My boot Atari executable looks like this.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 ASPEQT 8.8 My boot Atari executable looks like this.. Yep that's what mine looks like. It seems to work. You'll need to disable SDX to boot anything, if it's enabled. Ok, now it says "Not able to switch into SDX rom. Check BIOS Settings!" Which is the whole reason I turned SDX on in the first place.

flashjazzcat Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Did you boot the XEX by typing COLD /N at the SDX prompt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Oookay and this time it totally worked. I didn't do ANYTHING different (didn't even get to type anything in at the SDX prompt). Weird! It says it flashed successfully, but how do I tell? Is there a version number command or anything? Off topic, but for some reason the date command seems to think today is Sunday even though I put in the correct date (18-11-2013). Any way to fix that?

flashjazzcat Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Is that a "no" to the previous question? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 Is that a "no" to the previous question? Yes, that would be a no. I never got to the SDX prompt. I just booted it like I did the last few times, but this time the flash utility said it found the chip, did a neat little color show, and said it flashed successfully.
