4 years ago Hi,
The PDP2011 is by Sytse van Slooten (not me), and my github project only holds my changes to support the CYC1000 board.
I think for general PDP2011 questions, like what to put on the sdcard, I should point towards the author and the official site at http://pdp2011.sytse.net/. I've created my RSX-11M system similar to these instructions http://pdp2011.sytse.net/wordpress/pdp-11/sessions/rsx-11m-plus/
I could add some instructions for programming the CYC1000. For now I'll point you to this forum post:
https://forum.trenz-electronic.de/index.php/topic,1050.msg4762.html#msg4762
So basically: 1) compile the project in quartus 2) follow the forum instructions to flash the board
I can add a pre-compiled file so you can skip step 1 in a week or so. However, there are some compile time options that might be different depending on what features you want;
- The disk controller to use
- Which serial port to use (builtin or the CP2102 on the adapter board)
For documentation on PDP2011 configuration, see http://pdp2011.sytse.net/wordpress/howto/configuration/
I hope this helps!
Hi, thank you for making your work available on GitHub!
It would be great if you could add a bit of information on how to program the Cyc1000. I found this project for programming a Cyc1000 without having to install Quartus: https://github.com/trabucayre/cycloader - it seems that you just need to include the generated file in the Git repository so that programming the Cyc1000 is a one-liner (well, on Linux, after compiling that tool...).
After programming the Cyc1000, how would I put the right "stuff" on the Micro SD card if I'm using your little adapter board for the PiDP-11? After that, I would imagine that I can figure out the rest. :-)
