Re: TinyLlama (Vortex86EX SBC)

Whoa, sorry to hear! Well, the rom chip on the Vortex86EX is just a plain old 8 MB spi flash ic. You could either desolder it, put it in a SOP-to-DIP adapter and flash it using an eeprom/flash programmer, or even program it in-place using a SOP clip. I've used the TL866II Plus to unbrick the rom …

Ok, I found the problem... and I feel REALLY stupid... After checking all parts, the soldering, etc. All was ok. The problem was just ME: I was using the Tinyllama v1 files (INITBIOS.ROM and unisound were different on github repos). So, I proceed to flash the right v2 firmware. Made the USB, booted …

I desoldered the DAC, but I soldered another one I had from the v1 kit just because it was new and easier to put in place (no tin to remove). I suppose the DAC of the v1 is the same of the v2. I tested the desoldered points and the soldered ones, I can't find any damage there. I will examine the …

Unfortunately, UNISOUND does not find any PnP card, if I use /CL does not list any card either. Anyway, I should be able to flash again the eeprom despite it have been flashed before I suppose. I tried without the adapter+wavetable, same results. That is very weird, I've tested unisound and games …

It is the latest one, you sent it to me assembled already. I just desoldered the DAC to put the adapter on top for the wavetable. Perhaps I did something wrong? Ah, if I sent it to you pre-assembled, the eeprom is already programmed! 🤪 Unfortunately, UNISOUND does not find any PnP card, if I use / …

Well, I finally got time to test my Tinyllama and I am stuck at CS4237B eeprom programming. If I enter: resource /f=0x120 /r=cs4237b.asm /e I get CONTROL not found at 0x120 address Tried also with the default address, same error. Any clues? Is this the 1.1 version of the TinyLlama? In that case, …

Has anyone tried Monkey Island Ultimate Talkie Edition? My TinyLlama freezes as soon as Guy says "Hi". Searching around it looks like it happens to folks with certain mouse drivers but I'm not using any with the Llama. Edit - For anyone else experiencing this, I figured it out. UniSound by default …

Got my card today very late. Had limited time to test it before sleep. WSS and OPL3 are working fine. SBPro emulation isn't working. Having error message in pure dos 7.1 with ORPHINIT v.057b Unable to reset Sound Blaster DSP full orphinit log attached. Any ideas how to troubleshoot DSP init issue? …

Superb! I would like one please, sending an email. My setup would be exactly the last photo, adapter plus X2GS with no pi zero. Thank you! Cool! I should add - if you're only planning on using the adapter with a wavetable board you don't actually need the purple DAC board at all - that's only for …

Got the wavetable adapters in, they work as indented! Tried with both an S2 and an X2GS board, no problems. Using this adapter makes the whole setup a bit more chunky, as seen on the photos below. IMG_0449.jpeg Superb! I would like one please, sending an email. My setup would be exactly the last …

For every TinyLlama 2.1 owner who already has a small wavetable board or can't get hold of a pi zero 2, I'm happy to say that the Pi+wavetable adapter board is currently in production! 🎉 It'll be 100% assembled and ready to go. As promised, I'll sell these at cost, which turned out to be almost …

Quick update on a Saturday evening: I've updated the v2 BIOS to properly handle setting typematic rate/delay ("mode con rate=32 delay=1" ;)). Also, I got the Dreamblaster S2 that Aaron707 so kindly ordered for me from Serdashop , and Serge also sent me the Dreamblaster X2GS for free! (thanks again, …

I have no idea what happened, booted up the PC to DOS today and the board initialized lol. I was going to try the things that were suggested this morning but low and behold it just started working! I know it doesn't make sense... But just was able to confirm all sound options worked in Duke3D, …

New Tinyllama V2 user here! I received my board(s) a couple of days ago, and man has it been a journey! I can't think on anything else! I get home from work and... Tinyllama time until bedtime :D Thanks to @Eivind for creating such an AMAZING piece of hardware and for his great support. You can …
