Propeller Graphics Card for RC2014 Computer

Preliminary documentation.

Compile

The firmware requires the GCC compiler specific for the Propeller microcontrollers. A suitable version can be downloaded from my P8X Game System download page. It is a more recent version of the GCC toolsuite compared to the one available from Parallax and with some additional patches. The version distributed from Parallax may not work as expected with this project.

Compile with:

make clean all

If you have a PropPlug device attached to your computer, you can upload the firmware directly to the on-board eeprom using the PROP-PLUG header, with the command:

make burn

if the default serial port is not correct it can be specified on the command line:

PORT=[port name] make burn

If you have a stand alone eeprom program it is possible to generate the .binary file with the command:

propeller-load -s firmware.elf
