Re: TOS startup sequence.

Alright, here's a cleaned up (TOS 3.x/4.x/STBOOK stuff etc removed - I hope I got the sections right) startup.S from the TOS source code package: _main: /* disable the interrupts */ /* this is useless on cold boot, */ /* but it matters for software reset */ move #$2700,sr reset /* reset all hardware...

Its a missing pull up resistor on BR & BGACK.
Yes. But both the pullup fixes are connected to BR, none of them to BGACK :)

Measure them at the monitor port first :) But yeah, if they're ok there then you should have a stable image and maybe csync for some reason is off.

Re: Forgottenmyname - Progress

As of today I still get the rolling screen after applying the sync mod on U51. The Glue is still sending out 15khz on 37 and 60hz on 38. What do you have on the monitor port then? If HSYNC and VSYNC are steady at 15kHz and 60Hz you should not have a rolling screen ... unless your TV cannot handle 6...

Yeah I had that thought yesterday when looking through it, just need to manually remove all ifdef:ed code only valid for TT/Falcon.

Alright! We're done. That's the most common ST screen anyway :D

Re: TOS startup sequence.

That's pretty much what needs to be known.

startup.S in the re-created TOS 2.06/3.06 source code package is where this can be read in assembly code.

That means ... *drumroll* ... that you have TOS execution. Lots and lots of instructions have done what they're supposed to :D

Assuming you have a PAL TOS, that means TOS didn't execute and/or the machine is being kept in RESET. One of the first things it does is to set 50Hz.

It does mean GLUE is working as it should :D
