Re: Problem at Programming GCVideo lite

After trying the same procedure on Windows 10 it worked on the first try. Something was borked with my Windows 7 Machine in combination with my Hardware. Don't know what it was, but now it works and i can add it to my build :D

3D Printed Solution to make a slimmed Wii Drive Top loading

Hey there, I'm in the Process of making my own Gamecube Portable. Since i use a slimmed Wii Drive for the form Factor, i found no solution on how to install a top loading Spindle. So here's what i came up with: 1. I bought some Laptop DVD Drives. I got 2 in my Area for 10€ total (5€ each) and consid...

Re: Cloning the GameCube component cable

Alright so I have compiled my first board. However I have zero experience in programing a FPGA board. When I use the regular programming mode with the .jed file I get this error: Device#1 LCMXO2-640HC: Failed to verify the ID (Expected: 0x012B9043 Read: 0x00000000). ERROR - Check configuration setu...

Re: Problem at Programming GCVideo lite

Little update. Got a genuine Lattice and Xilinx Programmer from a friend and the same Error persists. I have soldered my 3rd board now and im 100% sure the Parts are not the issue. I took a microscope to check if there any bridges or floating pins. There are none. Every Software i tried just detects...

Re: Problem at Programming GCVideo lite

The cable is detected properly and the LED is blue when i add 3V to the Board. If i Remove the voltage the LED goes red.

My Jtag order is this : VCC, Tms, tck, tdi, tdo, gnd. Is that correct?

Its most probably a software error but i dont have access to another computer to test it.

Re: Problem at Programming GCVideo lite

The FPGA is receiving power on all rails like it should be (3.3V directly from the Gamecube Regulator Board). After the renewal of my board i am now 1 step further. Now i get a "Identify Succeeded" on the Workspace. The Workspace stays Empty though. You shouldn't need to load a BSDL file ...

Re: Problem at Programming GCVideo lite

Little Update, I just reinstalled Windows and all Drivers needed and ordered a new Programmer, since the other one wont turn on anymore. Lets see if it was the programmer.

Re: Cloning the GameCube component cable

After selecting the BSDL file, a "Device Programming Properties" dialog pops up which will most likely be almost completely empty. Just hit OK which should give you access to the main workspace showing the JTAG chain with just one device in it. Not the Case for me. I get like 30 unknown d...

Re: Cloning the GameCube component cable

In case anyone is interested in an updated Parts list i attached one from Mouser Electronics. All Parts cost roughly 16$ (without shipping).

Click Me

I included the Designators of the Board so its clear where every Part goes.

Re: minGC Controller Board

I know I'm a little late to the party, but i recently started building a Gamecube Portable and i wanted to ask if there are any boards left.
