Chris Burton<a href="https://mastodon.social/@rpimag" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@rpimag</a> I did a bit more work on my UART booting Flashless Picos. On the end of each "pico" there's an I2C port for the I/O expander (used to reset/setup the RP2350A to boot from UART) and a UART port to send the bin file/communicate after boot. The Pico2 in the PicoUART6 is running CircuitPython using Adafruit_CircuitPython_PIO_UART for the non-hardware UARTs.<a href="https://widget.uk/tags/MakerMonday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MakerMonday</a> <a href="https://widget.uk/tags/Pico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pico</a> <a href="https://widget.uk/tags/Pico2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pico2</a> <a href="https://widget.uk/tags/RP2350" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RP2350</a> <a href="https://widget.uk/tags/RP2350A" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RP2350A</a> <a href="https://widget.uk/tags/PicoUART6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PicoUART6</a> <a href="https://widget.uk/tags/CircuitPython" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CircuitPython</a>

frd💾Hey fedi <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gamedev</a> folks - I'm looking for a framework that will make it fun to write some retro inspired games.Something like <a href="https://merveilles.town/tags/pico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pico</a>-8 without the restrictions. I've been looking for something like that for a while (here's some old research: <a href="https://fdisk.quest/dreamengine/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://fdisk.quest/dreamengine/</a>), but nothing quite fits the bill. Recently I got the urge to try to finish a silly roguelike I started like 3 times already. I don't want to learn a full engine, and I'm not smart enough to tackle much outside modern, high-level languages, but I would like to be able to do some fun raster effects down the line.Any recommendations?

Bread80I'm debugging the ROM emulation on the Firestarter. It looks as if the code to monitor ROM enable and ROM selection is working but the host crashes once it starts accessing the ROM.The first access of the ROM is when BASIC calls KL_INIT_BACK to initialise background ROMs.The first read is the LD A,(&C000). A few cycles later the ROM's init routine at &C006 will be called.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AmstradCPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmstradCPC</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Firestarter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Firestarter</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pico</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RP2350" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RP2350</a>

YvanRIGHT. Fucksake! Arghhh...I have a solution to this, I do not like my solution to this, but it is a solution...I reverted my project to use <code>embassy</code> from GitHub again.I have then grabbed <code>picoserve</code> from GitHub and I have edited the relevant <code>Cargo.toml</code> to use the <code>embassy</code> packages from GitHub.An in my project <code>Cargo.toml</code> I have referenced my downloaded and modified <code>picoserve</code> instead of using Crates.io... because no matter what I try I cannot make this work using Crates.io packages.I have now successfully compiled the project modified to use <code>picoserve</code>, loaded it onto the <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/PicoW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PicoW</a>, and it runs and serves a "Hello World" via HTTP.<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Rust" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Rust</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/RaspberryPi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RaspberryPi</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Pico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pico</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Embassy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Embassy</a>

Not bad. All credit goes to the toolchains and projects... my efforts here are purely exploratory / discovery. My current status is I got some Pico / Pico W sample code working and then merged some samples together to form a foundation I'll build more code on top of. The merged code achieves:<ol><li>DHCP to local network</li><li>Listen and respond to TCP</li><li>Poke a GPIO (blink)</li><li>Logging to USB-TTY</li></ol>The real TL;DR is: The <code>embassy</code> project seems to be the best starting point for Rust on a Pico W. (Not a Pico 2, this is an older RP2040 board.)The long version is: <a href="https://yvan.seth.id.au/rusty-pico-w.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://yvan.seth.id.au/rusty-pico-w.html</a><a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/microcontrollers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#microcontrollers</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/pico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pico</a>

Bread80Time to try some ROM emulation. The first step is to sniff the ROM enable/disable states and the currently selected upper ROM.The code for this is, again, simple. It tests the I/O address for the ROM select IO port, and also the gate array IO port. If it's the gate array it tests the register select bits of the data and extracts the two ROM disable bits.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FireStarter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FireStarter</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/AmstradCPC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmstradCPC</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pico</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RP2350" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RP2350</a>

Bread80Todays <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/RP2350B" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RP2350B</a> school of hard knocks learning experience:The RP2350B has 48 GPIOs but a PIO can only address a contiguous block of 32 GPIOs. You can set the base pin on the PIO to either pin 0 (default) or pin 16.With pin 16 as base GPIO numbers are relative to the base ... unless they aren't. So the call to pio_gpio_init uses global numbering whilst the calls to sm_config use the based numbering.<a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Pico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pico</a>
