2 Chip External Atmel

[taipan]

Hey Guys,

I'm stuck at a fork in the road.

The only flashedit script I have seen is for spoofing a rom102, but the hex I converted into a pfg file for use with jeepers and my external board is 101.

So, I need either a 102 hex flash to apply to my atmel <<<<OR>>>> a rom101 script for flashedit.

Someone save me and point me to one http://www.maestra.tv/forums/images/smilies/new/happy.gif!

If you have a simple printer port programmer:
[schematic is posted here somewhere and also in the FBPRG16 proggie]
1 DB25
3 220 ohm resistors
1 20 pin IC socket

[1] copy the code to notepad
[2] save as 101.hex
[3] copy to a FBPRG16 floppy bootdisk
[4] boot the disk
[5] run the proggie and select 101.hex to flash your 90S2313

taipan,
There are various flashes used depending on what type of EMU board you are using.
What chip/s are used on your external board?

It's a 2313/232 combo, but I have to flash it using jeepers so I can use the parallel programming cable. I don't know if I am flashing my TSOP correctly or modifying the bin correctly with flashedit. I'm using flashedit 2.1 beta 9, I don't select fix crc and I'm just flashing the original p209 EEprom rather than making a virgin EEprom after someone told me not to generate a virgin EEprom but use the original stream updated one instead.

Cemu reports a unknown output command about once every second, then stops, the IRD turns off and then on again and the cycle repeats... if it werent power cycling I think it might work... is this the sign of a bad TSOP flash?

Thanks,

Taipan

You are in 2 able sets of hands with your main problems, but the command errors are normal, you will get lot's of them in a perfectly working system.

After re-reading your post, that almost sounds like a bad connection. between the IRD and the EMU. Mine did similar to that in the early stages and it was a bad connection.

The other fellas are tied up with Christmas chores I am sure. They'll be in here shortly and give you some better answers,

How are you connecting your EMU to the IRD? I found an old bootloader board to be useful in the early setup stages, but you can make one (if it's not overly thick like some are) better with this little deal I tried....

Take a hot iron with the tip bathed in solder and run it over the bootloaders connection pads, it will make for a rock solid connection if you do it right, those pads will rise up about 1/32" or more and be smooth and rounded off on top and a make great conductors, be sure and run the iron from front to back as you insert it, you need a tip narrower than the pads themselves, and be sure check for shorts when done. You will be able to feel them with your fingers and tell if they are all equal, it is not hard to do, and makes a world of difference in the performance.
I used to have to insert it just right, or place a card under it, not any more, just plug to the switch it triggered and viola! Any of you using a bootloader board to connect the EMU and having problems, that is probably your main problem, those lame pads on it......

Works so good I may just saw one off and use it instead of going to the trouble to solder it in.....

Mine is still working great but I have noticed every 3 days or so, it desubs completely, I reboot and it goes for 3 more days, has anyone else noticed this? Or is my dog and or kids messing with the wires that I have hidden from them? It's a hard testing enviornment here, I did notice that my signal is down to barely a 70 again from 100+, they jump up and down so much on the back porch, they are driving it into the ground :-) I have been re-adjusting for years now, it starts doing wierd stuff at this location around 70, I had better re-adjust before I make any assumptions, I noticed the other night weak signal symptoms and checked it, and sure enough it's off again,

It's not a bother rebooting the PC at all, sure beats what I had. I wonder what would happen if you rebooted the PC and didn't re-set the IRD? I have a 5 year old who loves reset buttons on PC's. And this never happens when I am here, I find it like this when I return....like I say too many varibles to know what's really happening here. But I am still very pleased with my EMU and would do it over in a flash, worth all the effort.

Thanks for your replies Jimy,

I think its a bad TSOP flash, because I can now get the previews but all the other channels are black. I really need someone to give me some step by step instructions for Flashedit as I've read so many conflicting procedures. I would like to start from scratch again as I have a .fs script I want to apply to my own TSOP.

I still have my original p209 bin before I started playing around so I think I should start from that, or should I restream the IRD and work from there?

I am using flashedit2.1 beta 9.... I load the file, select the script and select fix crc as its always red (bad) under advanced options and hit apply before saving. Do I need to make any other adjustments in Flashedit or NE? I don't think I have to do anything to the eeprom except flash it with the original eeprom I saved before changing anything.

I haven't touched the CEMU files aside from patching dish.bin with the latest keys. Do I have to change the IRD# or CAMID in NE?

I would really appreciate it if someone could post a working cemu dish.bin file with the latest ppv strings and the regular tiers (no local or international).

Congratualtions on getting your setup going, and merry xmas!

Hi

The simple programmer connects to the parallel port and runs on FBPRG16....it does not get any easier. Why do you HAVE TO use Jeepers?

If you want, PM me with this post and an email addy. I'll send you a FBPRG16 bootdisk [winimage] with the two chip flash on it and a simple programmer schematic.
