4 years ago Hi there!
I am following the development of the MiSTer ports to DE10-Standard and DE1-SoC very closely. I am a FPGA developer myself and just got hold of a DE10-lite board with the MAX10 on it. I know it doesn't have any HPS, but has SDRAM on board connecting to the FPGA. Would it be possible to port over MiSTer in easier form to this board? I would really start getting to this but probably need some initial feedback. I am thinking of not using any HPS for loading programs etc, so everything at the beginning would have to be hardcoded.
Cheers, Berni
Hi Berni,
The most important features of MiSTer Platform are the SDCard+USB devices handling through HPS. If you are not using HPS you have-to implement natively, and SDCard is more difficult, you have to implement a native FPGA SDCARD controller. So if you do not have a HPS compatible board, maybe better to run the earlir generation FPGA builds, earlier than MiSTer, for example MiST (https://github.com/mist-devel), or go to the original source where all FPGA games cames from and you can port directly to your non HPS compatible board (for example Minimig on DE1 https://github.com/rkrajnc/minimig-de1)
