  • thanks once again!
  • Many many thanks Mike & John, after bridging JP6 and plugging  UM232H-B-NC usb in, blinking LEDs... ~:" I guessed JP6 but could not find a clear and definite identity.
  • I'm only a very little wiser.... on the LPi 1.2 boards do I need to bridge M0/JP6 or M1/JP7 for "self configure" mode? ie 1:1 seems to be both open, but which is 0:1? on the LPi 1.5.1 board "self configure" seems to be default, so should JTAG-fl…
  • Author xc3sprog suggests "FPGA boot mode is not right" what might this mean? I've added the verify output to my support request, but cannot see anything odd.
  • see xc3sprog support request for my attempt to enable Micron M25PE16 not yet working ~:"
  • https://github.com/GadgetFactory/Papilio-Loader/blob/master/xc3sprog/trunk/progalgspiflash.cpp
  • okay, I'm a cheapskate and bought ~$15 FTDI  UM232H-B-NC  USB MODULE, 1 CH, 3.3V, FT232H http://uk.farnell.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?partNumber=2419930 xc3sprog loads blink.bit in under a second, but when I try to load into pram/…
  • John, it would be great to see a write up, found this: https://github.com/daveyliam/spartan6_programmer is it that simple? thanks!
  • cutting the trace on LogiPi 'done' above RPi pin 22 : wfm! only a few tests such as: sudo cat /dev/urandom > /dev/fb1 and logi_loader vga_bar.bit seems to boot okay without display and run logi_loader not yet found an error message though... …
  • looking good, got stuck in, so not today... LCD does work with LPi provided pin22 is looped around, only checked with pins 19 23 25 2 22 24 so when I get a chance will check against all pins, then we can cut a trace, if we get that far.... thanks …
  • when I attach LCD to RPi only with wire connectors to pins 19 23 25 2 22 24 it works RPi alone pin 22 is +3.28v however when LogiPi only is attached pin 22 is V1 +0.9v
  • no effect this is quite hard, as display effectively covers FPGA, but I tried twice with good contact in each case.
  • further to above: if RPi 1 pin 22 is not connected to display at boot time, display does not go through setup and is not operational. LogiPi not connected.
  • Mike, V2 may be way to go, for now on V1, do hope this is not spam: Pin states tested for RPi 1: 19 23 25 2 22 24 RPi alone pin 22 is +3.28v with LogiPi V1 +0.9v other 5 pins did not appear to change.[1] tft display was not connected for these t…
  • Mike, thanks for getting back, this tft dsiplay runs okay using only pins 19 23 25 2 22 24 it has touchscreen etc, but that is minimum.  the screen is detached and wire is connecting. as jpiat suggests, in theory one might use logi_loader, reboot …
  • perhaps there is a way to switch off SPI on LogiPI? and use JTAG to load hardware. it seems that something is happening on SPI as soon as power is applied? pin 18 RP_GPIO_GEN5_PROG_B is not connected for display as above pin 21 miso is also not nee…
  • Jonathan, please could you suggest alternate pins to try? or other workaround? I only connected pins 19 21 23 25 2 22 24 ie mosi miso sclk gnd 5v spio, on RPi pin 22 or GPIO25 timing? sets horizontal offset RPi displays as normal LogiPi display …
  • okay, just to be clear, in fact logi-tools is not installed, though LogiPi power up green light is on. 1M works on RPi, but not with LogiPi also tried 500k on LogiPi & 320k on RPi these did not work, ps ax   288 ?        S<     0:00 [202040…
  • I have 2x LogiPi v1 on RPi B, (did not yet get RPi 2 working with this display.) SPI schematics pages 69-71: https://learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/adafruit-pitft-28-inch-resistive-touchscreen-display-raspberry-pi.pdf sudo nano /boot/config.txt …
  • NB: this case is for the Raspberry Pi 2....

  • am advised that Farnell UK price is being changed and should be adjusted for Monday

  • I'll give it a go, and comment later, thanks! ~:"
  • Mike, thanks again for your patience, yup I went all through the video and example, it seems well out of date and no longer applicable.** being for the Spartan3 on Papilio. But, I checked again with old version of PicoBlaze for Spartan3, I added …
  • quite possibly? the gadget factory link suggests: "the free Xilinx VHDL UART example is optimized for Xilinx hardware, it provides the smallest and fastest UART possible." and links to the picoblaze microcontroller. so I imagine I am looking for: …
  • I have chased Farnell today to ask buyer to change price on system.
