Ever since I attended the Altera FPGA workshMicronop featuring their new Agilex 3 device, I am thinking if Agilex could be the right FPGA to implement a general-purpose computation accelerator (i.e. a GPU) with a fast PCI-Express interface and a… Continue Reading
Recently I attended Arrow’s Agilex 3 FPGA workshop, which promoted, obviously, the new Altera Agilex 3 FPGAs. In the workshop we completed lab tasks using also the new AXC3000 Starter Kit that features the Agilex 3 FPGA. At the end… Continue Reading
There is an ongoing Indiegogo campaign called “X65GS 65816 Gaming Console“, see screenshot below. I – as the creator of the x65 project – do not support and do not endorse this campaign. In the campaign page they reused my… Continue Reading
I started a new debugger tool for my x65 project. Previously I created a dozen of single-purpose python scripts (running on a linux PC) that let me single-step the CPU, read CPU registers, dump memory and so on. The scripts… Continue Reading
I designed an enclosure box for the x65-SBC computer. For modelling I used Siemens Solid Edge 2024 CAD software, of which I have the Employee Edition. (I think it is just similar to the free Community Edition, but I did… Continue Reading
As mentioned in previous post, Matej asked me if Dreamtracker app is running on X65. I told him that yes, it should run, but better to test it first myself. I downloaded Dreamtracker in its current version V0.71, fired it up, and well, after a promising… Continue Reading
It’s Autumn again and I am revisiting my Project X65. My list of to-do tasks is endless and growing still 🙂 During the summer I have received a couple (2) of emails with comments: by Eric from France and by… Continue Reading
In the previous post I have mentioned that I am working on a port of the 32-bit Forth interpreter OF816 to my X65-SBC, an 8/16-bit retro computer that I am building. The software runs on the X65-SBC in the 65C816… Continue Reading
I am working on a port of the 32-bit FORTH interpreter OF816 for my X65-SBC computer with the 65C816 CPU. The OF816 was created by mgcaret and is available on github. I made a fork of the OF816 project and added a new branch for my work: x65-sbc. The… Continue Reading
Symptoms: Running Fedora 38 and 39 with kernels 6.7.7 on AMD Ryzen 5 with AMD GPU RX570 (Sapphire Radeon PULSE ITX RX 570 4GD5, 4GB GDDR5) sometimes results in a blank screen (no video signal, monitor going to sleep mode)… Continue Reading
