STM32 emulator of msm6264b RTC for Amiga computers

STM32 emulator of msm6264b RTC for Amiga computers

This project aims to implement RTC replacement for classic Amiga computers. Target uC was chosen to be as cheap as possible, easily available & RoHS-friendly. This project may work on other computers, but it's not guaranteed.

If you made it work for other machine with some fix or without it, tell me so by creating an issue!

Build and flash

To build firmware, you'll need STM32CubeMX installed to generate required HAL stuff. This way you can also easily port this project to other chips.

• Delete build folder if present in main repo directory.
• Delete makefile if present in main repo directory. For some reason STM32CubeMX doesn't regenerate it each time.
• Open stm_rtc_yourPartName.ioc in STM32CubeMX, then click GENERATE CODE button.
• After that, simply use generated makefile by writing:

make OPT="-Ofast -std=c11 -Wpedantic -frename-registers" DEBUG=0

If you're on Windows and have MinGW installed, you may use mingw32-make instead. This should generate firmware in ./build/stm_rtc.bin. I've used following GCC version:

> arm-none-eabi-gcc --version
arm-none-eabi-gcc (GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors) 5.4.1 20160919 (release) [ARM/embedded-5-branch revision 240496]

To flash firmware into your STM you'll need stm32flash tool installed. Required pinout is as follows:

PA14 (TX) - USB-UART RX
PA15 (RX) - USB-UART TX
BOOT0     - 3v3 during programming, GND when run
RES       - 3v3 via 10k or any other resistor

You may need to drive RES for a short time to GND to reset device before programming.

Connect UART-USB dongle to your PC and type:

stm32flash -R -w ./build/stm_rtc_stm32f031k4u.bin COM5
# or
stm32flash -R -w ./build/stm_rtc_stm32f030c6t.bin COM5

Of course replace COM5 with name of correct serial port. You may use Realterm, Cutecom or whatever serial monitor you prefer to list them.

How it works

TODO

• write
• add pinout compatibility with smaller stm32f0 packages
• port to STM32F031C6T6
• PCB
• switch to LL generation for less footprint?
• compat with latest arm gcc?
• stm32f030 power saving code for even cheaper device?

This worked on QFP48
