New project: WiFi card for CPC

[poulette73]

When I want to download "Flash programming utility", I have an error :
Login required
Please log in to upload files.


I have already downloaded many files from CPCWiki without having to log in... 

Of course, my CPC Wiki forum account and password are not working.
And I don't want to create another account on CPC Wiki again...

Is there a way to provide this DSK file in a simpler way ?

Fixed

Thank you !! 
It works

Can I get SPI + WiFi + Ethernet module (all there is!) too? <3

Can I get SPI + WiFi + Ethernet module (all there is!) too? <3

Hello, here is the available hardware for Amsteam:

- SPI card
- WiFi module
- Ethernet module
- SD Card module
- ROM Box
- Cartridge emulator
- Sound card

that said, some clarifications:

Ethernet module, SD Card module and sound card don't have the software ready yet, so you can have them but not use them.

The cartridge emulator card is required to play multi-load games (Academy, Agent X II, The Blues Brothers, R-Type, etc), as well as games released in cartridge.

The ROM Box is needed to have the Amsteam RSX commands, unless you have another hardware capable of adding ROMs to the system.

The sound card is not used in any game yet.

Price for all cards and modules is fixed to 40e. but there are the following packs:

- SPI + Wifi + ROMBox + Cartridge emulator _______ 140e
- SPI + Wifi + ROMBOX __________________________ 120e
- SPI + WiFi _____________________________________ 80e

I don't recommend to get the Ethernet and SD Card modules yet.

If you are interested, please contact in private message.

Please don't burn me for this blasphemous questions...

The M4 expansion has also WiFi. And the SF3 has WiFi too. ...

Could your software be used with the SF3 or M4 expansions too?

What are the technical differences to the project described in this thread.

Sorry for asking, I'm a CPC guy not a WiFi guy

Any of those devices would work with Amsteam with a custom ROM, sadly I don't have any of them to develop the software.

The technical difference is this project is a SPI interface that supports not only wifi, but any SPI compatible device. And probably the fastest available: 1 IN / OUT = 1 byte.

Thanks a lot for explaining. Good to know that there is a SPI feature! 

How does the fast IN/OUT work?

It depends on the level of unrolling, example:

; Routine to read 1024 bytes from SPI
ld a,32
_read_loop
ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b
ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b
ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b
ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b:ini:inc b
dec a
jp nz,_read_loop

that achieves around 200 KBytes/sec (1.6 Mbps). Same for writting (with outi instead of ini)

Thanks, that's the way I do it with FutureOS too (reading from HD20 f.e.). Thanks for you answer.
