3c17e74f6d Bump the protocol version to ensure people upgrade. 2022-03-26 21:54:29 +00:00
David Given
96214bf3fd Refactor for better multi-read support. Each read is now held separately, with 
F_DESYNC being deprecated, and FluxSource returns an iterator which can be used
to retry reads.

d157b7b05d Make libusbp work on Windows; rework the Microsoft-specific bits of the 
firmware to match. This does at least allow us to get rid of the patcher.

18d90c44dd Rework the flux decoders to add a desync opcode for separating multiple reads 
in a flux stream. Finally add a unit test for the flux decoder.

4f0a5e854c Attempt to rework the USB handling to make the GreaseWeazle work on Windows and 
Mac --- we abandon autodetection for anything other that FluxEngines as libusb
is painfully inconsistent with serial devices.

2b53ac057c Fix some bugs which allow erasing tracks with F_FRAME_WRITE_CMD to work again. 
(F_FRAME_ERASE_CMD always worked.)

64694580cd Remember to bump the protocol number after the bytecode change. 2020-04-03 21:46:51 +02:00
David Given
fc2655ecd6 Rework the bytecode format to use a much simplified setup: a six-bit timer with 
the top two bits reserved for pulse and index state. This is actually smaller,
bandwidth-wise, than the old version, and may be smaller than the crunched
version.

1a6c6b5420 The bandwidth tester now tests bandwidth in both directions. It looks like my 
default USB port only gets about 500kB/s write bandwidth. However, when plugged
into a port with 850kB/s, I still get underrun errors...

df8d45bf66 Rework the output fifo to be a bit more correct about the sync signals, which 
in turn allows the sequencer to lose less time --- this gets the effective
clock rate down to about 1.01us. However we still seem to lose the last sector
on 18-sector disks and there are some disk reads so something is still wrong.

need fixing in the firmware sampler.

f436d6b582 Add a feature where we can measure the FDD bus signal voltages using the PSoC's 
ADCs. Increase the track step pulse width to 6us, because.

5ce2acdfb4 The new decoder architecture now works, at least for the FB100. All I need now 
is to rewrite every single other decoder.

379985c2bc Rework the sampler state machine, with new, better, simpler bytecode at twice 
the bandwidth; we now record the state of the index hole.

4b0c7b095b FINALLY make the UDB-based sampler work... although without rollover, yet. 
Sadly I seem to also have broken the sequencer.

74c6c6db56 Non-working attempt at replacing the sampler with a UDB datapath (so I can use 
the FIFO).

a77925fe64 Replace the complicated sampler with 10 lines of Verilog; the hardware should 
now be able to handle any length of transition. And it's simpler.

reliable.

f9146b2b92 You can now record multiple revolutions (necessary for the Brother which puts 
the index hole in the wrong place). Sector header record GCR is solved,
probably; data record GCR is partially solved, although kinda weird (should
check that my pulse train decoder isn't dropping bits).

607bb141b3 Radically rework decoding: there's now a simple statistical clock guesser, and 
then we read the pulsetrain into nice tidy bits with a proper clock, which
makes the decoder's job way easier. We can actually get rid of the entire MFM
decoder state machine. Also, after sorting out the magic bit patterns at the
beginning of records, we can now reliably pull them out of the bitstream
without needing to know anything about the records themselves.

ed5b9c0b8d Implement simple precompensation; it makes HD writes more reliable (still not 
quite right, though), but seems to mangle DD.
 2018-10-13 20:04:52 +02:00
David Given
aa7d420754 Start work on an autocalibrator to detect precompensation, but something's gone 
wrong and our reads are all bunk.

5d4e929302 Added the fluxdump command, for exporting a fluxmap into something like 
Audacity where it can be visualised.
 2018-10-10 23:02:45 +02:00
David Given
1430dfc4e1 Add the test pattern generator back again. Try some experimental code to 
convert a fluxmap into an encoding_buffer, but locking each pulse to a us grid.
I'm not sure whether this is good enough for reliable decoding, but early
indications look promising.

40b9fbc25d Fix ghastly DMA ordering bug leading to corrupted writes. Writes are less 
corrupted! Still can't reliably read back what I wrote, though. Added a test
pattern feature to write, to aid debugging.

30271d7e95 Just enough writing works to utterly destroy tracks now. 2018-10-06 23:01:24 +02:00

8f1cef48b1 Realise that the weird data dropouts were due to a stray capacitor on the 
board... so remove it. Better now. Also realise that PSoC Creator lies to you
about clocks, so adjust the sample clock to be derivable from the USB clock,
making it both the right frequency and much more accurate --- decode success is
dramatically improved (presumably due to less jitter). Redesign the capture
logic to use a timer; simpler now.

74d051dff3 Start sketching out the write code; attempt to make more robust in the face of 
the weird data dropouts.
 2018-10-06 13:47:34 +02:00

d6b71beacf Reduced the sampling rate to 8MHz; 16MHz means that on a 720kB disk some 
samples are more than 128 ticks apart! Doubled the settling time to make reads
more reliable; added disk change logic to rehome the disk when you replace
floppies.

339cdd5105 Add a partially working MFM decoder --- MFM's fine, it's aligning to sync bytes 
which is hard.

4e19882d76 Archival checkin of messed-about non-working code to actually read data from 
disk. Something's wrong with the DMA; requesting a transfer every 2us with a TD
size of 64 bytes is somehow leading to an nrq interrupt every 8us. Mysterious.
