Re: Stimulus driven interrupts?

Oberon's interrupt capabilities are part of Project Oberon and the RISC5 design - they are not peculiar to Astrobe. Unfortunately we have not had any experience in what you are attempting to do. However, I recommend that you check out this website produced by gray, another Astrobe user and frequent ...

Re: License and fair use for Oberon System?

Yes - that is the license that applies to any Project Oberon software, included with Astrobe, that you can also download from http://www.projectoberon.com We supply additional Oberon source code modules with Astrobe that we have developed (e.g. HCFiler, I2C etc). These are subject to additional (but...

Tools for backing up a Project Oberon SD card image

The tool I use to backup Project Oberon SD card images to my PC using Windows 10 is called DD for Windows: http://www.chrysocome.net/dd The command I use to read 320 MB (the 256MB DOS partition and the 64MB Project Oberon file system) from the SD card is, for example: dd if=\\.\PhysicalDrive6 of=Emb...

Re: What happens to out of range memory addresses?

Memory addressing limits are defined in Bootload.Mod. For the Artix-7 XC7A35T, using 192KB BRAM, MemLim is defined as 030000H. Read Section 8 Storage layout and management in the Project Oberon documentation (Astrobe menu > Help > Project Oberon) to see how the address range is partitioned and manag...

Re: RAM port connection

Yes - that is my understanding. Vivado issues the warning: width (24) of port connection 'adr' does not match port width (18) of module 'RAM' If you prefer you can modify the adr parameter in the RAM statement in RISC5Top.v to match the address width actually used in the RAM module for your particul...

Re: Why are the SPI MISO and SCLK signals shorted together?

My understanding is that only one SPI device on the RISC5 system is active at any time. In section 17.2.3. The SPI interface for the SD-card (disk) and the Net of the book Project Oberon - The Design of an Operating System, a Compiler, and a Computer. it states: Here, however, no use is made of SPI'...

Measure Temperature and Humidity using Digilent's Pmod HYGRO

The attached source code shows how to measure temperature and humidity via I2C using Digilent's Pmod HYGRO board.

It should work on any of the development boards with I2C that are supported by v7.2 Astrobe for RISC5.

Measure Temperature and Humidity using Digilent's Pmod HYGRO

The attached source code shows how to measure temperature and humidity via I2C using Digilent's Pmod HYGRO board . It was been tested on STMicroelectronics Nucleo-L152RE development board but should work with little or no modification on any of the development boards with I2C that are supported by v...

RISC5 Oberon now on the Artix 7-100T

We have successfully implemented Astrobe Embedded Project Oberon on the XC7A100T FPGA device of the Xilinx Artix 7 family. This means that Astrobe can have 480 KBytes of RAM available to it. This is 2-3 times more than our other supported implementations, allowing for more / larger applications to b...
