Fork/mirror of https://gitlab.com/InfiniteNesLives/INL-retro-progdump
Added windows driver package, just have to run InstallDriver.exe to get drivers installed on windows 10 (and others I believe) Created dictionaries for all remaining cart connectors. Nothing useful there yet, just wanted to get the files created and dictionaries working. Added bunch of notes to shared_dictionaries to explain how to go about creating new dictionaries and some opcode details. Have STM8 cic communications working "CICCOM" to change between H/V mirroring on new discrete boards. Currently these operations are handled entirely from the host scripts and opcode/operands are mostly hard coded. Need to move these to more generic functions in the ciccom dictionary which will also speed things up moving to the firmware which will speed things up. Some changes to mapper 30 script to eat the ines header, and test CHR-RAM banking. Some updates to snes flashing operations, still a work in progress to fully support prior SNES board designs. |

Readme.txt
===================
Linux
===================
HOST APPLICATION:
install libusb:
sudo apt-get install libusb-1.0-0-dev
make:
gcc -I include inlretro.c -o inlretro -lusb-1.0
or just run make unix from host folder.
As noted in windows instructions below, lua must be built first
-cd host/source/lua, make o a, then make from host/source
run:
./inlretro
AVR FIRMWARE:
install avr-gcc and avr-libc:
sudo apt-get install gcc-avr
sudo apt-get install avr-libc
AVR BOOTLOADER:
bootloadHID-master:
https://github.com/ajd4096/bootloadHID
fork of original obdev bootloader has option to remove BL switch with timeout.
bootloadHID.2012-12-08:
https://www.obdev.at/products/vusb/bootloadhid.html
the original believe it has more upto date V-USB drivers.
Both have identical commandline folders so they're identical on the host side.
need to have libusb-dev installed can check by typing "libusb-config" in terminal
will present usage options if installed on your system
if not installed should report so with suggestion for apt-get:
sudo apt-get install libusb-dev
then just run 'make' should build sucessfully
With the bootloader commandline app built, the firmware can be loaded
onto the INL retro-programmer via USB:
-place BL/RUN switch in BL
-hit RESET button or plug into USB for first time
-run 'make program_unix' from firmware dir.
If bootloader commandline app was successfully built and you have permission
to access HIDbootloader should have successful output similar to this:
$ make program_unix
../bootloader/commandline/bootloadHID -r main.hex
Warning: could not set configuration: could not set config 1: Device or resource busy
Page size = 128 (0x80)
Device size = 16384 (0x4000); 14336 bytes remaining
Uploading 1920 (0x780) bytes starting at 0 (0x0)
0x00700 ... 0x00780
-take BL switch back to RUN
-enjoy new firmware
STM32 FIRMWARE:
Need arm-none-eabi-gcc
===================
Windows
===================
HOST APPLICATION:
Install minGW:
download: http://www.mingw.org/wiki/Getting_Started
launch: Installation manager default settings
select: mingw32-base
(primary need is gcc)
select: msys-base
(primary need is make, basic unix commands are nice to have)
optional: msys-openssh
(helpful if using gitlab to pull updates)
lua for host app dev
minGW utilities can be easily added or removed at any time with minGW installation manager.
Add C:\MinGW\bin & C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin to your PC's enviroment PATH variable
-control panel search: "edit system environment variables
-System properties window, Advanced tab, click Environment Variables...
-System Variables pane: Select and edit "PATH"
-Add new entries below assuming you used default location for minGW
C:\MinGW\bin
C:\MinGW\msys\1.0\bin
-I had troubles once with cp (copy) commands in Makefile
causing a crash, even though the commands works outside of make. Bumping the
mingw path variables to the top of all my path variables corrected this issue.
So that might help if you have similar issues...
Now host app can be built from windows command prompt command make when in host directory
Currently setup to compile lua separate from host app. Need to get better at writing makefiles..
But whatever it works and saves ~12sec of compile time with current setup.
-go to host/source/lua
-make o a
-go back to host
-make
This way lua is compiled separately using it's provided make file.
make clean still deletes lua object files, so this process must be reperformed if cleaned.
AVR FIRMWARE:
Download and Install WinAVR
http://www.webring.org/l/rd?ring=avr;id=59;url=http%3A%2F%2Fwinavr%2Esourceforge%2Enet%2Findex%2Ehtml
optional: install programmer's notepad has handy feature to make clean, all, program in tools menu
this is nifty if you are scared of the command prompt for some strange reason...
installation process should modify PATH environment variables for you.
incase they don't add them just like MinGW above
C:\WinAVR-20100110\bin
C:\WinAVR-20100110\utils\bin
Now firmware can be built from windows command prompt with command "make" when in firmware directory
There is a bootloader installed on all "kazzo" INL retro programmer-dumper's which allows new firmware
builds to be easily flashed on to the device without a avr programmer.
Place BL/RUN switch in BL, then hit reset button in INL retro-prog
from firmware folder run command "make program" this will flash target build onto device using bootloadHID.exe
Take BL/RUN switch back to RUN and device will reset into INL retro-prog you just built.
AVR BOOTLOADER:
If you wish to build bootloader for kazzo (shouldn't be necessary for most ppl) follow the following
Requires you to have an avr programmer to reflash atmega164a mcu
Helpful to download more recent version of avrdude than included with WinAVR.
Download latest version with mingw32.zip from following link:
http://download.savannah.gnu.org/releases/avrdude/
unzip and copy paste both avrdude.exe and avrdude.conf to C:\WinAVR-20100110\bin directory
Assuming the recent build still doesn't support atmega164a..
You'll also have to add a definition for atmega164a in the avrdude.conf file
Copy paste the atmega324P section and rename it atmega164A
Then change the following lines to match:
id = "m164a";
desc = "ATmega164A";
signature = 0x1e 0x94 0x0f;
Now the bootloader can be built and flashed from the bootloadHID/firmware directory with make
If trying to flash mcu from make file you'll have to modify AVRDUDE line to match your avr programmer
Once completed you can make the bootloader and flash it with command "make flash"
STM32 FIRMWARE:
Need arm-none-eabi-gcc:
https://developer.arm.com/open-source/gnu-toolchain/gnu-rm/downloads
Download .zip file and place in folder like C:\ARM and create environment variables to point to bin folder
