Design

CPU

• The Motorola 68008 is an 8/32-bit microprocessor introduced by Motorola in 1982
  • It is a version of 1979's Motorola 68000 with an 8-bit external data bus, as well as a smaller address bus
  • This card uses a 68008 with 20 address lines (48-pin package) which allowed 1 MB address space versus the 16 MB addressable on the 68000
• Rev 1 needs a wire jumper U5-39 to U5-40 to pull up VPA*

CPU Timing

• File format: INTEL_HEX
• To Region: Default
• Set EPROM offset when file is loaded to accommodate memory map offsets for EPROM space
  • Set From File Start Addr(Hex) to 80000
  • To Buffer Start Addr(Hex) to 00000 (should be already that value)

• Got Device ID error
  • Turn off ID checkbox in the Options section (bottom left of window)
  • Using SST 27SF512 part (Part is 64 KB)
    • Parts are actually Winbond parts remarked as SST
    • Looking up device ID showed the parts are actually Winbond parts
    • Can set programmer to Winbond part and it programs without error
• Device programmed/verified
• Memory Buffer should look like

Device ID Mysteries

• Ebay has parts with SST marking
• EPROM Programmer says the parts are WinBond (Manufacturer ID 0xDA)

PLD_002

• The SWAP line maps the EPROM to the SRAM space
  • EPROM map addresses still work and are mapped to 0x8000-0xEFFFF
  • Used to pull the Stack pointer and start address from EPROM
  • Set to 0 at power up
  • Write to address 0x80000 with D0 = 1 to unmap the EPROM from the SRAM space
  • Needs to be set early in the startup code before SRAM is accessed

Hardware Handshake Notes

• From this page

*       Set MR2A4 = 1 and MR2A5 = 1 to configure OP0 as RTS output
       MOVE.B #$83,MR1A
       MOVE.B #$27,MR2Aer is ready to
*       receive more data. Note also that the contents of the DUART's
*       output port register are inverted before they are fed to the output
*       pins. That is, to assert RTS* low, it is necessary to load a one
*       into the appropriate bit of the OPR.
*
       MOVE.B #$01,OPR Set OPR0 to assert RTS*

• Ordered a batch of 10 cards (2024-08-18)
• Tested card, works!

Rev 2 Card Changes

• Fixed DUART TXB and RXA connections (see Rev 1 rework)
• Added pullup to VPA* line (to make interrupts work - see Rev 1 rework)
• Add some silkscreen annotations for memory configuration header connections to rear of card
• Moved R6 up and added more silkscreen near CPU
• Added R7 resistor and LED to ground on U3-12
  • Access with a write of but D0 to EEPROM address (similar to SWAP bit)

Rev 1 Card

• VPA needs to be pulled up
  • Add wire U5-39 to U5-40
• Reset working
  • Reset switch and monitor working
• Clock working
  • Checked at 8 and 10 MHz
• EPROM working
• SRAM working
• Checked Serial port
  • Not using any XTAL capacitors
• Serial transmit/receive lines swapped
  • TXB and RXA are swapped on DUART
  • U6 pins 11 and 31 need to be swapped

• Easiest cuts (on bottom of board)

• Cuts as seen from the top side Silkscreen

• 2 Jumpers

• Alternative cut (harder due to space and being on top of board)
