I will try new thing this evening.

At the moment I reprogram port to Z state as soon as I send ACK to CPU, this might be too soon.
I will introduce while loop to check when interrupt line goes down.
Or if I can pass it Data Strobe or Address Strobe - need to doublecheck documentation which one would be best.

Confusing is that RTC works so data does get to Amiga.
Very noisy 5V which destroys mouse receiver functionality? <- speculation

@alenppc

I managed to reproduce it. I don't have clue at this moment as timing changes on ARM side don't do much. Need to some time to pin this.

Sorry for not looking at it yet. My mojo disappeared recently, waiting when it is back...

Hi,

I'd be perfectly happy with a minimal board that would support a combined wireless kb+mouse USB stick e.g. any cheap Logitech, and DB23 out.

No RTC, no flashfloppy, no wireless pad support, just kb, mouse and video.

How far do you think the riser is from that? Any chance for this summer?

I'd keep my CD32 pads connected, so I could basically use the CD32 as both a gaming and a desktop machine. I imagine the riser would switch one of the joystick ports between the wireless mouse and the CD32 pad, depending on which is being used, right?

Cheers,
Zoltan

That is done. It works on vast majority of cd32 and tf330.
There is a bug which affects occasionally some setups, mainly 40mhz TF330, which I need to look at.

You have mouse, keyboard, gamepads in normal and cd32 mode support.
There are some ocassional games which I can't make it work across all setups 020 and 030 expansions as they use registers in very peculiar way.
But 99% titles are fine.

Sounds awesome! Could I please get an assembled board from a gentleman around? Is there anybody making these preciousss?

If firmware updates work similar to TF330 I can definitely manage, but soldering this stuff is beyond my skills and equipment.

In my case the mouse is not usable even with a 50 MHz TF330, this is just to say YMMV; but no issues with the keyboard/rtc at all.

I also have a 50mhz 030 (the one that has mmu) so that worries me a bit.

Any wireless mouse/kb combo known to work properly? I'd just buy that and be done with it.
I'd like to keep the other usb slot free, for future wireless pad option.
