MEGA65 Wiki
Here's an initial attempt to wiki-fy existing knowledge on the Mega65 system garnered from the user forums and Paul Gardner-Stephen's blog.
It's intended as a draft effort, to demonstrate how this information would look when presented in this form.
For now, I'll just add pages into a linear list below. Later on, as content grows, I'll try provide more hierarchical/tree structuring.
Introduction
Walkthroughs
-
- Steps for how to get your Nexys board up and running with the MEGA65 bitstream
-
- For windows users that don't want to jump ship completely to Linux
-
- Guides you through the installation of the Xilinx ISE WebPack software and its usage
-
- Search these github docs via the 2nd search-bar above
- A few github *.md doc files presently accumulating in the official github repo.
- They cover some common ground as the existing wiki walkthroughs, with more dev-related details
- They also have a more linux-centric approach, if that's your preferred path (over windows-cygwin)
Documentation
-
- Existing community-driven documentation of the MEGA65 architecture and internal details
-
- See Chapter 2 and this post for VIC III specs
- See iomap.txt and viciv.vhdl for VIC IV specs
- See Chapter 3.1 for BASIC v10 reference
-
- (just a few text files accumulating in the github repo for now)
- Remote Serial Monitor - handy for debugging
-
- Courtesy of Paul's Log entry on the matter
-
-
- An idea mentioned of having a “Fixed Point Unit”, not sure if it has eventuated yet, but will add this just to put it on the radar
Source
-
- Source code for the mega65 project, for those keen to study, build and refine it
-
- Source code for Paul's 4502 processor (which the mega65 project makes use of)
- See this blog post for a description of how Paul tweaked the Ophis Assembler to work for this new processor
-
- A suite of tests for the new processor. More info in Paul's blog
-
- Support for C65 keyboard via DM65PIC
