![]() ![]() The legacy 68HC11 chips alone can individually cost as much as an Ardino starter kit or Raspberry pi.Īs there is/was updater code released online, I was able to dump the. ![]() ![]() Now one can build an equivalent device for the cost of a single starter kit. (or else they have been upgraded to newer hardware) When Arduino happened. I inherited the remaining hardware to complete in case the existing production units fail. I found in a local surplus store the remaining stock of programmable Roms. The current maintainer is of advanced age with family and personal medical issues. ![]() Not sure how long the above website will be active. When the successor to the creator of the board got ill then passed away I found the online updater code posted as shareware Īs I use this hardware in production, I took over some of the support on this product. The first attempt was to create code that was based on the user manual documentation specifications. It may be of interest for others to see two different takes on code that runs on the same hardware. I put my obsolete AVR code on git along with some code for MIDI driver interfaces By the time I got the player to work floppy disks were obsolete. I had inherited the 8051 project, then after the company failed ported my code to AVR. I Used the specs from similar Yamaha, Rolland Yamaha. Interesting enough I just posted some code this week to git from a floppy disk based MIDI file player. (Ofcourse the HxC manual does not mention what recommended chipset is, or that it is known problems with other chipsets.I am finding this topic of interest too as I have reverse engineered a number of abandon ware project where the originators are dead or of advance age. when I recive it i will try again ofcourse. Now I have ordered a serial adapter with a "recommended" chipset. (even the same gotek on the same computer with the same OS with the same adapter, I can flash it to cortex, and then hXc fails right after, then i can flash it with cortex again with no problems.) when I told him which type of serial adapter it was he told me that it was "well known" that it was crap, even if it works PERFECTLY FINE to flash the same gotek with cortex software time after time. I have been in contact with Jeff (author of HxC) and he ofcourse say its a problem with my computer or my serial adapter. I have tried with two different serial adapters, three different OS'es, four different computers, three different goteks, but still no go. Yes it does require windows unfortunatly (I mainly use linux), and if you ask me its a pretty crappy software too (the windows flash loader), I havent been able to flash any of my goteks with HxC software (yes I paied for a license) since the flashing software simply does not work for me. Hiccup for me is that the initial flashing tool apparently requires Windows, which I don't have (and apparently neither does Jeff? Or did I misread a post in another thread. ![]()
