Bassano del Grappa (Italy) - 24 March 2012

ACube Systems is happy to release a package to explore and enhance the capabilities of the LatticeXP FPGA available on the Sam440ep mini-itx and flex-atx boards.

With the manual, examples and tools of the package it's possible to implement new functionalities into the FPGA, to further strengthen your AmigaOS experience on your Sam440ep board.


The package contains:

- VHDL source code (released under GPL) of the firmware currently used on Sam440ep boards
- the original bitstream installed at the factory (to restore the original firmware)
- a porting of the VME12 utility which can reprogram, via the JTAG interface, the FPGA on the fly under AmigaOS 4.1 (*)

(*) a simple hardware modification and a cable are required

Download the Sam440ep_LatticeXP package here or from OS4Depot.

I am surprised but pleased to see there is partial OS4 support for programming the FPGA, even if I probably won't ever use it. (Of course it would likely be too difficult to port the whole FPGA toolchain, but it at least means you don't have to install Linux to "flash" the FPGA.)

@Templario
Sound drivers are irrelevant to this news item. I am sure that ACube will announce new drivers once they have them working.

This news item is about the FPGA on the Sam board, there is no mention of sound cards or drivers.

Let this be your first official warning for seriously off-topic posts in this thread.
