JP1 - CPU Pin 1
- Install if CPU is not a WDC 65C02 or WDC 65C816
Software
- Link to Grant's files
- Source code
- osi_bas.s <== the Microsoft OSI BASIC and I/O routines SOURCE all in a single file
- Grant's I/O routines are at the end of it
- Files to allow the source to be assembled on a Windows based machine
- assemble.bat <== double click to assemble osi_bas.s and link to binary file "osi_bas.bin"
- This should be exactly 16K
- osi_bas.cfg <== configuration file for the linker (ensure ORG and entries in this file match if you change any)
- ca65.exe <== the assembler from the cc65 package. Use this. The new version on the cc65 site crashes!
- ld65.exe <== linker from the cc65 package
- Output files
- osi_bas.bin <== the ROM fine in pure binary
- osi_bas.lst <== Assembly listing file
- rom.hex <== the ROM fine in standard INTEL-HEX format
- To allow simple re-assembly, extract all files to the same folder
- Freeware utilities are available to convert the "bin" file to HEX or s19 (etc) - use your internet search tool to find
- All source code, assembler binaries and the HEX dump of the ROM is here
- It is in standard INTEL-HEX format for uploading to a suitable programmer.
First Unit Checkout (Rev 1 PCB)
Install Sockets
Install Passives
Power
- Install 2x4 at J4
- Power card via J4 with 5V
- Check power pins on parts
Clock
- Install Clock parts
- Did not have 270 pF cap, used 220 pF
- U7 (74HC04)
- Y1 1.8432 MHz crystal
- Clock "doubling" with 74HC04 part
- Worse with 74HC14
- Switched to 74LS04 - works well
- Install clock divider
- Check clocks at J2
- Pin 1 s/b 0.9216 MHz
- Pin 3 s/b 1.8432 MHz
- Outputs are OK
- Need to change P/L and S/S to 74LS04
- Used 1nF cap instead of 1200pF
- Starts reliably but has a glitch
- Seems to run OK
- Reset is weird, sometimes does not boot and takes a couple of presses
- Not sure if this is clock related
- Order new 74LS04 parts
- See Rev 2 updates
Reset
- Install U9
- Install pushbutton switch SW1
- Reset button gets stretched by Power Monitor U9
- Measure at 6502 U5 pin 40
- Falling edge scope cap
- Switch failed, replaced - works
EPROM
- SST27C256 EEPROM
- 32 KB part
- Using first 16KB of EEPROM
- J5 EEPROM pin 1 = VPP = VCC or GND
- J6 EEPROM pin 27 = A14 = GND
- U1 - Do not install MAX232
- R65C02 CPU
- Install JP1 on rear of card as wire
EEPROM Programming
- Device programmed/verified
Install CPU, ROM, RAM, ACIA
- Do not install MAX232 yet
Test FTDI Serial
Card Without MAX232
- With DB-9 connector
- Install DB-9 Male
- Holes don't line up well, but 4-40 screws can fit
- Without MAX232
Built Card
- DB-9 connectors connected together

Mechanicals
- Rev 1 board
- Rev 2 board has the same mechanical dimensions, but some parts are different
PCB Issues
Rev 2
- See clock section above for issues found during Rev 1 board checkout
- R8, R9 missing 2.7K marking on silkscreen
- Updated on Rev 2 interactive BOM
- C6, C14 change value to 33 pF
- Symptom with 22 pF caps was wrong oscillation frequency (approx 2.1 MHz)
- Crystal is 18pF
- Matching caps should be 2x (since the caps are essentially in series
- 36pF would be right, but there's also pin and PCB capacitance so use 33 pF caps
- U7 has to be 74HC04 with these other value parts
- Measured oscillator circuit timing/voltages
Rev 1
- Clocking not optimal - see notes above in clock section for debug issues
Assembly Sheet
Assembly Sheet Rev 2
- SIMPLE-6502 Rev 2 Interactive BOM
- Install jumper JP1 on rear of board if CPU is not a WDC 65C02 or WDC 65C816
- Install jumpers J5-2 to -3 and J6-2 to -3
- Clock changes from Grant's design
- U7 is 74HC04 (silkscreen shows 74LS04)
- 74LS04 might work if the Resistor values in the clock circuit are changed
- Jumper J2 clock to run the CPU at either 1.8432 MHz or half speed 0.9216 MHz
