I had to fix the Makefile for board olimex_ice40hx8k_evb_ice40-io:
https://github.com/alangarf/apple-one/blob/master/boards/olimex_ice40hx8k_evb_ice40-io/yosys/Makefile

I had to change to this, i.e. go up one level higher:
SOURCEDIR = ../../../rtl

I can confirm I could upload the resulting apple1.bin using winiceprogduino.exe -Icom5 apple1.bin in Cmd.exe in Windows 10 and it works great! I compiled using WSL Ubuntu from Microsoft Store.

I get the following program counter values at boot time (DE0 + Quartus) :

FFFE
FFFD  -- fetch instruction
FF01
FF02
FF03
FF02 -- don't understand this value
FFFE
FFFF
0001
0002
FFFE
FFFF
0001
0002 -- continues the prev 4 instructions forever

I think the 6502 reads 0x00 as the next instruction, which is a BRK instruction, and it resets itself.
Could be a problem with RAM/ROM or some timing issue.

ps. I think in some cases, the PC is +1 because it already points to the next instruction.

According to the ad Apple 1 could be expanded to 32KB RAM on-board using larger chips. Could you not expand the RAM to 32KB? I think it would be fun with more RAM. The iCE40HX8K-EVB has 512KB RAM.

Any idea what's going wrong?

To use the bultin USB FTDI serial port to access the woz monitor, on Upduino V2.0, just change rx,tx pin mapping in boards/upduino/yosys/ice40up5k.pcf as follows

set_io -nowarn uart_rx 15
set_io -nowarn uart_tx 14

Then in boards/upduino/yosys/Makefile, find the "prog:" target and remove -S switch. This allows iceprog to program the SPI flash onboard.
After programming the chip, on Linux the USB FTDI inteface may become unresponsive. To restore communication you can just unplug and reinsert USB connector, or you can reload the ftdi kernel module, by issuing the command:
sudo rmmod ftdi_sio
followed by:
sudo mod_probe ftdi_sio

DE0 board ignores colour settings. Will fix in the near future.

I try in WozMon to change background color using C002:1 and C002:2, but nothing changes.

I tried to look at the Verilog code, but I see nothing wrong with it. It is possible to have different colors in VGA using iCE40HX8K with ICE40-IO because a demo from Olimex has this.

Hello there, I saw your awesome project and just happen to have this Nexys A7 FPGA: https://digilent.com/shop/nexys-a7-fpga-trainer-board-recommended-for-ece-curriculum/

at hand, it has onboard VGA, doesn't have onboard PS/2 (I could probably wire a PS/2 connector externaly), but I also found an USB keyboard demo: https://github.com/Digilent/Nexys-A7-100T-Keyboard/tree/master
Which if I understands corecly allows you to connect USB keyboard to FPGA and it would convert it to PS/2 scancodes

Or I could always use SerialTerminal if PS/2 doesn't work 😄

If I understand everything to port this to my board I just need to define inputs and outputs and I should at least have a picture from VGA display at first (if input doesn't work yet)

What I am very confused is how to open this project in Vivado (if thats even possible)

Thanks for Anwsering and Best Regards

PS/2 and serial in ought to work at the same time. Now you have to change this file for Olimex iCE40HX8K-EVB each time you want to use a different input source:
https://github.com/alangarf/apple-one/blob/master/rtl/boards/olimex_ice40hx8k/apple1_hx8k.v

.ps2_select(1'b1),       // PS/2 enabled, UART TX disabled
//.ps2_select(1'b0),       // PS/2 disabled, UART TX enabled

Also, should it not say UART RX in the comments above? if you are talking about the Apple One side.

I see some boards use a switch or toggle button to switch key input source. I think if Bluetooth, USB, and Apple II keyboard ports are added in the future they should also work at the same time as PS/2 and serial. Then you don't need to switch key input source.

I use serial to paste in code in Apple I, see e.g. this article with link to a video:
Apple-I Checkers AI & USB to Serial & FPGA programmer for Olimex iCE40HX8K-EVB
https://www.reddit.com/r/FPGA/comments/8k42g7/applei_checkers_ai_usb_to_serial_fpga_programmer/

Hi there, I managed to program my FPGA with this (if you remember this issue: #40

But now I am facing a problem, that I have no video output (and no serial output), even if I assigned all the pins to the designated ones (when I press CPU reset, I see the screen detects something, but I get no signal at the end), the board also does respond depending if I select UART or VGA with: https://github.com/alangarf/apple-one/blob/1d21ed1f6369cb94089a9bbe188d8e7db9e3eb08/rtl/boards/blackice2/apple1_hx8k.v#LL116C9-L116C67

(if its .ps2_select(1'b0), the screen does not respond (it doesn't even detect anything), if its .ps2_select(1'b1), the screen detect something but after that goes into no signal state

I saw there is some wire [15:0] pc_monitor; I can use:

now, how is this meant to be used? (I did wire it direcly to my 16 leds and when I press CPU reset, leds do come on, but don't move at all, if I press the button again, different leds come one (again when they come on they stay on forever)

So something is happening it appears, but now I have to figure out what

I did start with this example: https://github.com/alangarf/apple-one/blob/master/rtl/boards/blackice2/apple1_hx8k.v#LL116C9-L116C67

because it seamed to be the closest to my boards (I also have 100Mhz clock and 4bit VGA)

As I said, it does compile, it does run (but for now, I have no way of figuring out whats going on 😄 )

Sorry for a lot of questions, I am just starting to play with FPGA (I already got VGA example working (I managed to fill the screen with blue), but am otherwise a noob 😄

The top-level module name in apple1-top.v is 'top', which is undescriptive. Suggestion: change it to apple1-top or apple1_top.

The link to the Olimex board in the README.md now goes to the wrong board (1K). It should be (8K):
https://www.olimex.com/Products/FPGA/iCE40/iCE40HX8K-EVB/open-source-hardware

Maybe is not the right way to ask this.
I'm working on a TFG(in spanish), final degree thesis in Computers Engineering in UPM,Madrid,Spain. I had found this repository with an interesting proyect.

I want to know, if there is any possibility to change some things to work on a Zybo Zynq-7000 FPGA board, is the "oldest" board that my university has. If someone thinks there is possible, I need some help with small things concerning with Verilog and which codes I should modify.

First, why Vivado don't accept .inc files for the 6502 code?
Solved: "wrong path for "`include" to ".inc" files" & "changed ".inc" to ".vh" because don't make any difference".

Thanks,

PS. Maybe I had some mystakes on my English, sorry.

Would anyone that has the knowhow be interested in converting this to be a core for MiSTer? It runs on the DE10-Nano and provides HDMI output and USB keyboard input. There is already an Apple II+ core.

There is no button that works for clearing the screen on iCE40HX8K, but BUT2 could have this role. I think the warning on the last line in the code box below could have something to do with this.

Backspace on PS/2 keyboard sends '(' instead of '_'. At least on my iCE40HX8K-EVB with iCE40-IO, see video https://youtu.be/2yIBnhapzEU . You can backspace by typing '_' using Shift+- on US keyboard.

Hi, could you please check this fork https://github.com/lawrie/apple-one

Lawrie added some boards but unfortunately he is not longer with us, it would be shame to lose those changes.

I tried loading the ice40hx8k-evb board files. The LEDs are blinking and I'm using just the UART for IO, without VGA/PS2.

No response on UART with screen and miniterm (--rtscts /dev/ttyUSB1 115200). Even with CAPS entry.

Tried setting the ps2_select to 1'b0. Still no luck.

Anything else to check ? How do I check if CTS is willing ?

In the https://github.com/alangarf/apple-one/blob/master/README.md it says in the Memory Map:

0xFF00 | 0xFFFF | 512B of block RAM for WozMon ROM

But should the first value not be 0xFE00, because otherwise it's just 256B? If it is actually 256B then the comment "512B of block RAM" should be changed.

When I flash the sof-file everything works correctly. But when I flash the pof-file to keep the software after a power cycle the keyboard doesn't work correctly anymore. The buttons are mixed-up completely. Any idea what goes wrong here and how to fix? I use the Quartus II 13.1 (32-bit) Web Edition.
