I'm finally getting started. After some missteps with parts I'm finally ready to get building. Starting with a rev 2 because I currently see no advantage to the rev 3 given that the rev 2 works and is stable up to 50Mhz with working IDE.
Of course I started with the most difficult parts first. That being the CPLD'S. The sockets are just sitting there to test fit them. I'm going to install just enough parts to enable programming of the CPLD'S and then I'll program them. If that goes successfully I'll finish the rest of the board.

Adrian Garay I have Rev 3 boards as well, but I also didn't think they are yet in a state stable enough to start with. So I'm happily building the Rev 2 board first.
ReplyDeleteFrankly I may not even build a rev 3 and skip to the TF534S.
Adrian Garay I'm using the Alliance semi-conductor RAM in the original BOM.
ReplyDeleteI did manage to find some at a reasonable price and I'm mad that I didn't buy more because the seller is all out of it now.
I've dug all through the parts vendors catalogs looking for an equivalent replacement.
