Emulating an AT27C256 #8
Comments
Data writes at about 1.6 kbps, so we can speed this up by not even writing the junk bytes. First optimization: use the Second optimization: write two separate files, write at |
The downside to the second optimization is that |
Hey Jacob, great job investigating. I sent you an email, try that if you get a chance and let me know if your BE6502 boots... if it does I'll publish the files for others to try. |
The newly released (experimental) version of firmware and software now has EEPROM support included: |
The new firmware works great, thanks @Kris-Sekula! |
Please consider this a draft note-to-self, since I don't have time tonight to write a pull request.
The pinout between an AT27C256 and a 28256 differs in that the EEPROM's A14 is on pin 1, with /WE on pin 27, while the 28256 EPROM has Vdd on pin 1 and A14 on pin 27.
So, since in the EPROM-EMU-NG, pin 1 is A15, and A14 will be held high ("write enable" not asserted), we can write a little Python script to convert a 32K binary file into a 64K file padded with junk in addresses

:then write it out like usual:
I used a TL866 II+ with

to confirm that this reads correctly as a 27C256:And, I attached it in place of the EEPROM of my Ben Eater 6502, and it boots up correctly!
