Can't get emu/aux to work.

[talinn_man39]

I built it myself following instrucs/pic from this forum (the "Internal232/2313Emu with Electronic Switchover"). I have built/repaired many electronic things and with great success. But not this time, I guess.
Maybe I don't have all the necessary files on the boot disk:
cwsdpmi.exe
st19xl.exe (latest)
st19.cor (prepared according to instrucs)
st19.rom
command.com
io.sys
msdos.sys
drvspace.bin
autoexec.bat - as this:
@echo off
echo You are about to start ST19XL
pause
st19xl -a -m -w -s -t -pe1 -pa2 (com1 is emu, com2 is aux)


When I boot to the disk, I have that pause to plug in and power up iso (9V adapter) with 102 inserted. Also plug in rj45 (long run needed) to rj-db9 adapter and to ird-emu interface (hard-wired under pcb: +5V coming from an unused cap area just to right of card slot looking from top of rcvr). When I hit any key as prompted, the program sees the aux with perkys123, then says starting st19.exe. Then it says reseting with some code at the bottom of screen (atr?). Doesn't seem to matter which on-screen option I take, it says a few more bytes and freezes. To get out of the prog, I hit cntrl-c. IRD shows no change during this whole thing.

Thanks for any help.

try powering down and restarting the rx at this point. no real reason to unplug the aux card, or the serial when starting. then see if you can see the cam id on the rx under menu - system setup. what flash on the 2313?

[smilingjack]

Did you flash you chips ?
Leave off the ISO
Download the "green channels" fix from the files.
.
Run that program, it makes a floppy disk
TV set on
card in IRD (On)
put the floppy in and start the computer (just run it no adjustment Nessy)
.
it will run as CEMU and ST19 and ST10XL
.
And if you made it right, it will run. Runs on ever thing.
Not PVV/Pron/prem, chan. (for that you need the ISO)

[talinn_man39]

No cam id shown on tube. (The only way to get to that capability is by first pulling atmega while rcvr is on. Then trying to run emu.)
I may try that geen channels boot files. (But the rest of it is for cardless.)
Flash should be 10c. It's NC_102_10c_full_2313_2chip.hex that I flashed. (Changed name to emu.hex for dos' fbprg16 prog, which I have used much for virgin flashing atmega.)
You know, I may have a total hardware issue ranging from improper chips to a loose or disconneted connection on rcvr pcb. I have checked the wiring on the emu board I built. I discovered that I had forgotten to solder a connection between pin 10 of AT90 to Gnd, so I gave the board a good going over. I've been busy trying to work out the problem. (THat's why I haven't been quick to respond back here.)
I think I had already tried what you said, yomama, powering down the rcvr and all. Pretty sure there is no communication between comp and ird, but this could be hardware or software issue. Frankly, I think it's hardware.
Rcvr is 301-010

[talinn_man39]

Hmmm. No response.
Just curious if the flash I used is correct. When I tried to flash the atmel using fbprg16 in dos, it did give an error saying the flash is too large for the buffer. So it only flashed what it could. Is this normal?
Also, do you flash the eeprom as well. I read here to just do the program flash. I erased the eeprom anyway, but didn't write it.

You have a 2 chip maxmel and programming with a simple programmer.
This takes a 2K file and no eeprom.
If FBPRG16 errors out then you did NOT get it flashed! = 0 data

Copy this to notepad and save as 10C.hex to your FBPRG16 floppy then retry:

Thanks for the help.
Does the com1 port for the emu have to be configured different from its default settings like 9600 baud, etc.? All I seem to get while running the dos version of st19 is the detection of aux as perkys123, but a freeze (for lack of a better term) on detecting emu. It stops at point of some collections of bytes just after reset. Any ideas?
