Feature? Surely that must read 'future'?

Edits

  • Amiga is re-implemented using an FPGA, not as a FPGA.
  • The linked Amiga Custom Chipset article nonexistant.
  • Source code were relased not specifications. But schematics,gerber etc.. were included.
  • PIC is a specific microcontroller, and a link to the generic term 'microcontroller' is good to hint on AVR. Not imply PIC is the only microcontroller available.
  • The hidden comment "This is NOT the TNT23 project" is only for those more deeply involved. Just confuses other persons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Electron9 (talkcontribs) 13:51, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Various claims..

  • The clock_dcm.v takes 4.433619 MHz from the PAL colour crystal and outputs 4.433619*(32/5) = 28.3751616 MHz to feed Agnus etc.. Any other frequences is an even division from there. Because only DCMs in the Xilinx FPGA may create fractional parts of another frequency.
  • The [http://www.freescale.com/files/32bit/doc/prod_brief/MC68SEC000.pdf Freescale M68000] CPU most certainly don't run at 16 MHz. Because it get it's clock [http://www.opencircuits.com/Minimig_Board_v1.0_FPGA_connections from the fpga] (Pin101 CPU_CLK). Which produce this frequency with the clock_dcm() function. Thus 4.433619*(32/5)/4 = 7.0937904 MHz. Which is the standard frequency for an OCS A500 Amiga.
  • The synchronous bus may run at 4.433619*(32/5)/2 = 14.1875808 MHz, but I'm not sure. However there's not reason for it to run at anything but a even multiple below or equal to 28.3751616 MHz or thereof.
  • The MCU (PIC18) 20.000 MHz clock crystall is not involved with the FPGA or m68k-cpu, see [http://www.opencircuits.com/Minimig_Board_v1.0_MCU_connections connection diagram].
  • Minimig specification improvements might be better written as deltas. Ie what changed from version X to Y.
  • Please do check electrical diagrams and verilog sources before modifying anything related to this again.
  • Power intake is +5V DC, and current usage is approximately ~100 mA according to Dennis. (with basic setup)
  • one of the links on the page links to a "reported attack site" illuwatar http://web.comhem.se/illuwatar/project_pages/minimig/minimig.htm

Needs revision

Ooh boy, does this article need revision... It reads like a time capsule. Unfortunately I do mot have the time atm. Jalwikip (talk) 21:11, 17 April 2024 (UTC)

Lead Section

Has anyone else noticed that the website minimig.ca has an about section that is word for word the lead & original prototype section? I will put it as a reference through archive.org, but I think it may need further editing. (https://www.minimig.ca/index.php/about/) Thebest8382 (talk) 17:24, 22 June 2024 (UTC)

And nevermind, I have no clue how to add a reference without messing it up. I'll post the archived link here for any kind souls to paste in: https://web.archive.org/web/20240404230410/https://www.minimig.ca/index.php/about/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Thebest8382 (talkcontribs) 17:46, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
