TF536 with ZZ9000 video card

Post by matt020 »

Hi all,

Has anyone tried a TF536 with a ZZ9000 video card in an A2000?

Any success to report?

Cheers,
Matt.

Yes, it doesn't work. But Lukas is looking into it.

Interesting as that's what I planned to do.

Is there a forum or bugzilla for the ZZ9000 to watch the issue ?

I don't know. All I know is someone who bought the card from me has sent it to Lukas for testing. I don't know if he's looked into it yet.

If you check the thread, Lukas has just live-debbuged a ram read issue and it was making me sweat for a while. :)

Hi,

ZZ9000+TF536 combo does work fine now, incl. ethernet, and seems very stable. I had to cut our DTACK a bit shorter on READs to make it fully work. I couldn't test in A500 so far, only in A2000, because I don't have the necessary parts at the moment to fit a 3.x ROM in my A500 Rev5 incl. adapter and the TF536 without a relocator. I'm curious if the new firmware also works with TF534.

(On a sidenote, I was able to flash the TF536 using a fake Xilinx platform cable (xpc) and xc3sprog after patching xc3sprog's source by doubling the same line this guy reported https://sourceforge.net/p/xc3sprog/patches/31/ )

Best greetings, TF536 seems like a fine accelerator. Mine is only borrowed for this fixing task BTW.
