+Vorticon Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 My board is the combo 32K/TIPI board. No chips on the underside. There is a large SMD chip in the middle and a small SMD one to the right of it, as well as a socketed EEPROM. It powers on and responds to CALL TIPI but fails to load the config screen. When I do a SIZE command in XB, I'm only seeing 13K or program space and 8K of assembly space per RXB. My Rpi 0W is brand new so I doubt that is the problem. I don't see any visible issues with the chips upon cursory inspection. I reseated the EEPROM without effect. I'll have to see if I can test the board on my main system with PEB. But even if it's just a bad 32K, I doubt I would be able to replace the SMD without damaging the board, but might give it a shot anyway just to test my heat gun Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277635-tipi-usage-and-support/page/111/#findComment-5560485 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can take a PEB and remove all but the 32k carding interface card, then plug it into the side of the installed tipi, and make sure a jumper is installed on the tipi to disable the onboard 32k, you should get it to load. If it does not then you have a CLPD issue. I have some tipi that have exhibited the same trouble. My were put together in China. Maybe fake clpd's?

+jedimatt42 Posted November 5 Author Share Posted November 5 RickyDean mentioned making sure the 32k disable jumper is set when testing with an alternative 32k on the bus. But you might want to test that it is not set while standalone. Originally the jumper was labeled for CRUBASE. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277635-tipi-usage-and-support/page/111/#findComment-5560854 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chti99 Spy Posted November 9 Share Posted November 9 Hi everyone, My interest in using TIPI is mainly great and hopefully developing assembly language programming. However, I was unable to save the object code in TIPI. It seems that the source code is read, but the assembler hangs (null file) and the listing is correct. I've tried all disk aliases, naming conventions, etc. Everything is fine on my system and I can assemble with other drive not on TIPI ... but I found a solution! (I use E/A PHM 3055, MAXIMEM or FG99) I changed the DSR version 2024 to version 2023-08-04 and it's ok the TI assembler (ASSM1..2) assembles again on tipi ... (Usually I use another assembler ...so I just saw the problem today...but it seems old and may be the result of a compilation error ...) I hope this contribution can advance this awesome and useful product ... Denis Sorry for my English, I live in Paris and have been using the TI99/4A since 1986 with a big hibernation until 2011. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277635-tipi-usage-and-support/page/111/#findComment-5562981 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafael1138 Posted November 29 Share Posted November 29 (edited) I have a quick question. I want to get Realms of Antiquity, but I need the SAM. I have a tipi 32k, If i get the sam from Arcadeshopper, how do I connect the sam to my Tipi 32k? The SAMS has the extension to be connected with the Speech Synth and the Tipi 32K? I can't figure it out in the pictures. I understand I need to disable the 32k in the Tipi, how I do that? Thanks.

Somewhere ( https://github.com/jgparker/tipi/wiki/FAQ#q-does-the-tipi-32k-work-with-the-1mb-sams-card-or-sidecar-32k-ram-expansion ) in the TIPI/32k documentation it says which jumper on the board disables the 32k RAM. Then you plug the sideport SAMS on the end of your expansion series... Like speech, TIPI/32k, then SAMS.

Rafael1138 Posted November 30 Share Posted November 30 Thank you both. The one I have is the one from Gregg, I spot pins there so that should be the disable option. @arcadeshopper I saw you have the SAMS in pre-order, will get one tomorrow. Do you have any 3d printed case that works with it? Thanks.

varmfskii Posted 16 hours ago Share Posted 16 hours ago I have a speech synth TIPI/32k that has an unprogrammed FPGA (The EPROM was also blank, but that has been addressed). How do I go about programming the FPGA? I have a JTAG SMT2 JTAG Programming Cable USB, but am unsure how to go about using it to program the personality onto the FPGA.

There are some things to consider. xc3sprog relies on a gpio interface which is deprecated and no longer present in bookworm. As such one need to bring up an earlier (legacy) version of raspberrypios which still has the interface. Thank You. I did manage to get it working based on these instructions and a bit of fiddling about. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forums.atariage.com/topic/277635-tipi-usage-and-support/page/111/#findComment-5582047 Share on other sites More sharing options...
