FO 10:51 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Now trying to plumb in eclaire firmware 'properly'. e.g. settings/os load/save, video settings, 800 mode etc. Got it running as far as menus/drive emulation. Had a bit of difficulty at first because I was doing some binary editing to add... foft
FO 09:56 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Added back the 'return to menu' foft
FO 08:04 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Still don't understand what the logic analyzer tells me, I'm guessing its an optimization since the hdl is pretty high level.
In any case solved the actual issue by adding a synchronizer on ir_data. Working just fine now. foft
FO 07:45 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Weird thing in chameleon_cdtv_remote, the timer counts when ena_1mhz is high AND halfway between. So is running at 2x the expected rate. Its not clear why. foft

FO 04:54 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Trying to get the ir remote working, should 'just work' since its enabled in chameleon io2 but ... it doesn't foft
FO 04:53 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Haha, this was a known issue on the old version of the chameleon (in many cores) and this one too... foft
FO 03:48 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Different sd card worked, think its a card re-initialization issue... foft

FO 10:46 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Running NUMEN as a little test ;-) foft
FO 10:46 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Fixed issue (i) foft

FO 10:20 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Main things to fix:
i) Joystick resetting system!
ii) sd card fiddling needed on first boot foft
FO 09:47 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Adding the chameleon_2 shiftreg component fixed up the ps2 keyboard sometimes not working. Also plumbed the sio tx to the red led. foft
FO 09:12 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Stuck keys were because the remote is not part of chameleon io, I hadn't removed the external signals and they were defaulting to the wrong state. Removed them now and typing in basic. foft

FO 10:12 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: consol is stuck because of the c64 keys supplied by chameleon 2 io. Tracking down why that is stuck, it has 3 sources: ir, docking or c64 itself foft

FO 10:14 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Seems I need to remove/re-insert the sdcard to boot. PS2 doesn't seem to work, so no menu. Perhaps that is why I get the beep (consol stuck??) foft
FO 10:13 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: Fiddled with sd card... blue screen and cassette boot beep. Hmmm. foft
FO 10:12 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: sdram test passes with 270 degrees! Still no boot though, will resume testing tomorrow. foft
FO 10:11 PM Feature #78: Get chameleon v2 working: we have sync...
zpu is running, tested with a display of toggling background
sdram is failing with 180 degrees foft
FO 10:10 PM Feature #76: Merge down to trunk: Continuing chameleon bring up on #78 foft
