Progskeet 1.2
Progskeet Support
Anouncement
PROGSKEET V1.2 is in production, release: first week of October (maybe early)
Here some infos in preview:
- Redesign of main board now more small and stable (4 layers)
- Slave board with USB, LED, SWITCH (for memory banks selection)
- FCC cable 15 pins that allow to connect externally the slave board
- Bus SPI on FCC cable for future expansions
- 100% support of WINSKEET
- DLL OPEN library to allow integration in other alternative programs
- 1 Mbit SPI FLASH memory on board
The package content:
1x PROGSKEET V1.2 + SLAVE BOARD
1x ADAPTOR PCB PROGSKEET
The main improve of the new PROGSKEET V1.2 solution will be the support of DUAL NOR / NAND on different consoles. NOR and NAND CLIPS are not anymore official supported, we decide to move on QSB BOARDS, more cheaper and sure more stable then CLIPS. Soon news also about these accessories.
More infos about specs of new WINSKEET and SOFTWARE will be posted soon.

JTAG Pinout
For FLASH FPGA without flatcable (normally used with Infectus) but soldered, this is the JTAG pinout http://oi47.tinypic.com/s5d8g1.jpg
Bitstreams
<uf6668> hi everybody <uf6668> quick announcement <uf6668> here's the latest dat: http://www.sendspace.com/file/rwz8jx <uf6668> this is ONLY for 1.2 <uf6668> if you want to use on 1.1 or 1.0, you will need to make modifications <uf6668> it enables following: <uf6668> 1) dual boot using a switch (led on = secondary nand/nor, led off = primary nand/nor) <uf6668> 2) both solderless nand and nor together <uf6668> the new structure is not ready yet because I've dev'd it on 250 and I have to fit it into 125 <uf6668> regarding opensource, the api will only be for the new architecture, so only after i fit it into 125

If you have any question (pinout/schematics, availability, shops/resellers, guides/manual/howtos, parts, software flashers, bitstreams, libraries etc), join IRC ef.net #progskeet-support
Production (lack off) Quality
Detection issue
Sometimes Infectus doesn't detect several progskeets. There is production error.
Seems, I fixed it with the help of untrax from #progskeet-support
Manual:
1) Desoldered U4 http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=i5rp53&s=6 - you can see short between two point under U4
2) Remove short, points should not touch each other - http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=10y13ew&s=6 (hard to see but they are separated)
3) Soldered U4 back, there is should be 2-3 mm between board and chip - http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=34ornls&s=6
Now Infectus detected my Progsteet, and I am able to update bitstream.
