Done this week:
- Quartus III for MiST, done/working; I've built 8 of the tutorial cores, ran them on my MiST hardware, and I understand what they did to get to them. The tool chain works great and I can build what I want.
- added JTAG headers to MiST board (5 min, not so bad upstairs in the early morning)
- ordered USB Blaster to be able to short-cycle new core development
- fought MiST and MiSTery for a while on my MIST HW and realized last night it's just the TOS version that makes things blow up. Gotta think ahead on some of these things
- Enjoyed time with the ST playing Dungeon Master just like it was 1987 again.
- built the MiST Viking Mode driver (trivial - it's one assembly file, but had to be done in prep to change the resolution in the hardware)
- finish up all the MiST tutorial lessons
- modify the 4th core to support a higher rez just to see it happen.
- altering MiST viking mode in a few ways (alter resolution and driver)
- USA power supply recapping and capacitor list by model number (tabled by attic heat)
- mandatory upgrades for 1040ST. Must select one or the other 1040ST and desolder CPU (tabled by attic heat)
- practice desoldering (tabled by attic heat)
- VME work (this work is tabled for now until I know what I want to build in the MiST and have a driver working for it in GEM and fvdi)
