Propeller Parallax P8X32A SIDcog+VGA+Mouse+Keyboard+MicroSD DemoBoard

Build Status

A Project I’ve worked on during University which demonstrates the multi-cog approach of the Parallax Propeller Multicore Microcontroller in combination with my selfbuilt DemoBoard.

Features

  • Commodore C64 SID (Sound Interface Device) MOS8580 Emulation via SIDcog outputted to the 3.5mm audio jack
  • Reading dumped *.sid data from a FAT16/32 formatted MicroSD Card via SPI
  • TextMode based Terminal VGA Output
  • PS/2 Interfacing with mouse and keyboard

Demoboard

The schematic/board-project files are located in the /DemoBoard/EAGLE/ directory. The project files can be opened with Cadsoft EAGLE or Autodesk EAGLE.

Board Layout ready for print (Single Sided)

Use wire for the top-layer connections. It’s not that much wiring anyways.

How to use

Format an MicroSD Card with either FAT16 or FAT32 as filesystem and use the bundled SID_Dumper.exe to dump the register data from *.sid files. Put the resulted dump-file (*.dmp) on your MicroSD Card.

Presentations

Check out the two presentations I held for university about this project.

Compiling

Use the Propeller Tool Software and compile src/Main.spin as top module and load it onto the EEPROM or RAM.
