This just brings the 5.2b5 code up to Geoff's latest 5.3 beta release.

I've done very limited testing (e.g. ILI9341 + touch) but most of Geoff's code changes are MMBasic internals and application changes which are not chip specific so hopefully not too much to go wrong.

I know, WW you are up and running with the MZ so would appreciate your feedback - anyone else?

Hi Pierre,

Do let us know how it goes once Peter has got the HEX to you.

If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take from the time you ordered the snadPic to it arriving? Thanks.

WW

New version with a couple of tweaks

Load image now displays a 800*480 full colour .BMP file on an SSD1963 in:

1.5 seconds

and a 320x240 full colour .BMP file on an ILI9341 in:

0.4 seconds

underlying SSD1963 performance issue solved
Migrated to Harmony V2.01b
correct RTC after "CPU SLEEP n"

12 Mhz version

2016-11-24_192826_MicromiteEX5.3b3-1.12MHz.zip

24MHz version - completely untested!!!!

With the 'underlying SSD1963 performance issue solved', what will we notice (if anything)? For example, will all/some graphical commands be visually quicker?

Quote what will we notice (if anything)?

Just it will work like it should have in the first place. You probably noticed some flicker on the display - that has gone now. A trivial timing issue with the faster chip.

UPDATE

I can also now confirm the MZ can be programmed using PIC32PROG with the PIC16F1454 and presumably the Arduino and PicKit2Edited by matherp 2016-11-26

I have a "hole in my memory" (un trou de memoire, in french)

what tension on the power connector of the SnadPic ?
more of +5V ?

I do not want to destroy my new PIC32MZ

thank you for answer
Pierre.

Is it the one with the 5.5/2.1mm barrel jack? If so I think it's 7-12V DC

ok, thank you John
it's right
I power my SnadPic with 12V and led light

I have programmed it with MPLABIPE v3.45 with the HEX for 24 MHz
no problem to load the file

does it exist � "pin map" for the SnadPic 100 pins ?

I dont know how to connect the console (tx and rx) to try my board

You'll laugh but I did a web search for
snadpic user manual
or
snadpic PDF

Try :)

f1fco said I dont know how to connect the console (tx and rx) to try my board

On the 64pin MZ, the Console Rx was pin 6 which is RG8. Likewise, Tx was pin 56 = RF0.

On that basis (and while waiting for Peter to confirm otherwise) I would simply try (on the 100pinner MZ) Pin 12 as Rx (RG8) and Pin 85 as Tx (RF0)

Do let us know if this works . . .

Quote 12 as Rx (RG8) and Pin 85 as Tx (RF0)

Correct - but remember the USB should work as a console as well

Good progress there!

Do you have a TFT you can connect up? Ideally a SSD...
