Just a short information entry – yesterday my development life regarding Vectorblade made a big step towards being easier for me.
Again I have to thank Thomas for that. What you see above is a VecFever with one handwire connecting the IRQ-line of the cartridge port to an IO pin of the ARM.
With the correct firmware update (starting with v1.18) the IRQ-Line can be configured to act as address line A17 from the Vectrex (see: old blog entry).
What it boils down to is, that I can now use the VecFever again as my development tool of choice and I can test all Vectorblade doings of mine again directly on my Vectrex (from Vide with serial connection) without having to flash every other minute. VecFever thus supports carts using 4*48k banks with PB6 + IRQ bankswitching.
Yeah!
Is there a place where firmware updates for VecFever can be downloaded?
Yes – here on the VecFever page/link from there.
The mentioned v1.18 is a beta you won’t find there yet though. The last public version is atm v1.16.
thanks for the Info. I’ve got the Vecfever version with the black cnc shell and the glued LED. Think wil will not dare to tear it apart.
