c187b79d80 Add a 300RPM clock on 3[0] and a 360RPM clock on 3[1], for use with faking
index pulses to the drive.

b448ab7917 Finally squeeze everything in to the Verilog sampler. It does seem to work
better... the the USB hangup problem persists. Mac disks are still
nigh-unreadable.

072a097003 Archival (non-functioning) checkin of Verilog-based sampler code. Sadly, we've
run into size limits for the device, and I need to slim down.

a66e704bab Start ripping out the awful UDB-based sampler code, replacing it with a Verilog
one and a standalone FIFO. This gets the FIFO working.

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.

91d6e9aeb9 Rewrite the sequencer engine with a separate fifo component and a pure verilog
sequencer --- much easier to understand. We can write disks again!

c266779433 Fix a bug where index pulses where being turned into flux pulses on read,
leading to completely broken data whenever an index pulse happened.

56a36072f7 Sampler state machine cleanup; more debugging tools for the logic analyser. 2019-07-12 21:09:53 +02:00

1e3581c5f3 Turns out I was using the wrong error threshold flags for Mac disks. ND disks
work fine now.

7a775afaea Make sure that CounterClock is actually 12MHz, and not 12-ish MHz. Doesn't
help.

c27c4fe312 Synchronise input pins and set LVTTL levels. More correct, but doesn't help the
read issues.

46b48f4638 Ignore the /DSKCHG line --- it doesn't add a lot of value (it allows us to
rehome if people change disks while the motor is running) and it means that
people need to worry about whether their drive produces /DSKCHG or /READY.

da8cae61b7 Add a debug UART back on pin 2.0 to get some semblance of debug information off
the board. Discover a fun edge case where output transfers that were an exact
number of frames weren't being terminated correctly.

bcc5a5f2cd Interim but working support for crunched data streams when reading from the
device; writes haven't been converted yet. Reduces the bandiwidth from about
800kB/s to about 500kB/s, which is about what I thought.

29b66086ea The sequencer now (I hope, untested) supports waiting for the index hole. It's
certainly no more non-functional than it was before, i.e. it writes Brother
disks fine.

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

f20ad8368a Non-working basis of a UDB datapath based sequencer. No more clock errors. 2019-02-28 01:03:58 +01:00

6bcd9a6644 The UDB-based pulse generator is back. The problem was I was trying to write to
a HD disk (also the logic was wrong). I think my new Sony drive doesn't
autoselect.

b8138aef40 Replace the UDB based pulse generator with the old counter-based one, which
seems to work.

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

462d15369e Create a pulse generator UDB component --- hopefully cheaper than what we're currently doing. 2019-02-26 23:33:06 +01:00

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

34a4c888b5 Rewrite the Verilog *again*, and increase the CPU clock rate --- it's now a
little more reliable at reading long intervals off disk, but does seem to be
doing it. I'm going to definitely need some better sampling logic here and
probably a FIFO. But it'll do for now.

753a4a21ef Rewrite the sampler Verilog to use much more consistent logic. Still doesn't
work for long intervals, though.

970668aca5 Non-working attempt to replace the playback logic with Verilog. 2019-02-22 21:26:54 +01:00

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.

65315f4603 Take out the UART --- it's too much hassle. 2019-02-09 23:02:05 +01:00

575213687e Move the pins to the other side of the board, so we don't need the capacitor
hack any more.

4f83aa8623 Change the USB ID to the new 1209:6e00 one allocated from pidcodes.github.com. 2018-12-14 19:08:19 +01:00

e6a424d17a Abruptly realise that the capture logic was completely missing transitions too
big to time; so, redesign it. Now the longest transition is 0xfe ticks and a
pulse is inserted if it's too long. Capture is way more robust now and the
resulting pulsetrain is a solid 198ms; and I wrote my first readable disk! (A
PC HD disk. Sadly, writing to the Brother didn't work.)

99e222d012 Change the record mechanism to use an upcounter, not a timer. 2018-10-13 16:54:51 +02:00
David Given
b46d55cc07 The USB capture/replay interface now uses timestamps rather than intervals;
this makes the hardware considerably simpler and more reliable (as I don't need
to spend time resetting the timers between pulses). Still doesn't help writes,
though. Simplify and improve clock detection; add an abortive attempt at an FM
decoder (turns out that the Brother doesn't use FM).

1c0cc1f831 Rewrite the pulse replay logic to be, maybe, more reliable? Add lots of decoder
debugging.

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.
