Flashy Clock - Yet another DEV board

[derkom]

RTC menu is "working".. Well the button clicks and numbers.

I'm going to be the pedant here and point out that the correct term is "daylight saving", not "daylight savings".

Well those easy fixes I don't mind doing

Reading of flash seems to be working now on real hardware

Why the hell it has a red bar there I have no idea, did not even do that in steem!

How odd.. Even though the inverse text is working right, its causing that red bar... But the info is updated before the window is visible and all works fine... other than that inverse text... if I draw the box, THEN do the inverse text, it works fine, no more red bar

Make the background red, that'll hide it

I believe its a sign of respect for the pink TV that passed away doing your bidding..

I have done the easy bit, the boot menu

206 Is highlighted because that setting is still in the NVRAM. The motherboard ROM is basically a override for the flash banks, so I thought it would be useful to still display what flash bank is still selected, even though the boot ROM is the motherboard in this case, hence it being ticked.

So when you click SET, it programs the boot ROM in the NVRAM, and then cold boots the machine.. Which will then now boot in the ROM you have selected.

Probably take me a couple of hours to clean up these routines and code, then I can start on the next menu

This looks incredibly cool!
It would fit perfectly between my blitter expansion and the TF534 in the stack-of-things(tm) I have in the cpu slot

Would it be possible to completely disable the altram on the board?

I would want the system to allocate fastram from the TF534 rather than this card, and I'm not sure in what order it would deliver it if it has two pools but I suspect lowest address first? (which, if that is the case, would be the exact opposite from what I want )

By default the RAM is disabled anyway.. This software does not set up the RAM.. Icky is doing a autoload for that currently.

If you're running alt-ram on the TF , it does not really make sense to use altram on our board as well. You would be better just keeping to the higher address space >16MB mark.

Its possible there could be a version produced without the RAM chips anyway as it is like £20+ chip.

Today's oopies..

But more to the point, how people with OCD liking this new box layout ? @Icky ?
