I seen lot of this oscilloscope screenshots when I stared and after a while I had to make my owns too. The specification of floppy controllers tells that it’s not a negative pulse, it’s a low level and needs to be low for a while (some are low for 0.4-1.5us others 0.8-1.3 us…). It doesn’t matter how you generate it, the throughput is the throughput and for MFM specification of DD it is 500kbit, 2us per cell. Not like I would go the ATmega path as a $3 ARM chip is what I hinted in A digital data separator isn’t thatĬomplicated and can fit inside a CPLD quite easily. If you have a CPLD that decodes/encode raw floppy Only implementation? There is nothing wrong about COST optimizing aĭesign into hardware/firmware as each side complement the other.

The extra logic chip required to mod a PC floppy drive to the AmigaĮven the RPi has RC time delay done in the 7406 gates. The control signal stuff can be done with simple 74XX gates just like Using timer capture/compare, the resolution can The “2us timing” on the RPi is probably referring to the timing offsetsĭue to precompensation. >The DD pulses should nominally be 4us, 6us, and 8us apart before This blog has done a bit of RW on the raw Amiga floppy data. (somes are probably missing in this list…)Īlso it seems that someone else have made a direct Raspberry PI Floppy emulation before :įYI: Double Density data rate is 250k bits/s not 500k bits/s.

Well, at least not with the AVR chips we normally see on Hackaday. Posted in Raspberry Pi Tagged amiga, Amiga 500, emulator, floppy disk, raspberry pi Post navigation This gave him access to the entire processor, and allowed him to meet the hard timing requirements of the floppy interface. The Pi’s stock Linux Operating system was just not going to cut it. coded his drive emulator “bare metal”, directly accessing the Arm Processor on the Raspberry Pi. Calls have to be made with a timing accuracy of 2 microseconds.
AMIGA EMULATOR RASPBERRY PI 3 SOFTWARE
The software is perhaps the most interesting portion of this build. is emulating a floppy drive in real-time – this means emulating MFM encoding in real time. Live disk images are stored in the Raspberry Pi’s ram, so the user needs to hit the “Write to SD” button to store any changes to disk before swapping floppies. The user interface side of the equation is simple: Two buttons, one used to switch disks, and one to “Write to SD”. His model A Raspberry Pi works fine, but a model B would pull a bit more power (700ma) than the Amiga floppy power supply is capable of providing (550ma). A 74LS06 Hex inverter converts the signals to the open collector outputs the A500 requires. powered his Raspberry Pi from the floppy power connector of the Amiga. Most of the circuit is dedicated to level shifting from the 5v Amiga 500 to the 3.3V Raspberry Pi. The interface hardware is relatively simple. The latter placed some rather stringent timing requirements on his design.

AMIGA EMULATOR RASPBERRY PI 3 CRACKED
No problem for, he just cracked his case open and added a Raspberry Pi as a real-time floppy emulator. didn’t want to make any permanent changes to his A500 case, and more importantly he wanted to use the Amiga’s original floppy drive interface. His classic piece of hardware has been serving him well for years, except for the floppy drive, which recently gave out on him.
