Broken access on Linux - firmware 1.8

[sblendorio]

Using command-line ArduinoReaderWriter to read a fully-functional floppy (I tried with several floppies, successfully dumped on Windows), the process does not even start, with an error of Disk has checksum errors/mssing data.

I tried several Linux machines and several floppies, with the same result.

With Windows it works.

Here is a video:

Firmware version is 1.8:

Do the same here. Debugging the
ADFResult ADFWriter::DiskToADF(const std::wstring& outputFile, const unsigned int numTracks, std::function < WriteResponse(const int currentTrack, const DiskSurface currentSide, const int retryCounter, const int sectorsFound, const int badSectorsFound)> callback) {
function, I can see the m_device.readCurrentTrack(data, false) returns DiagnosticResponse::drOk, but no valid sector has found. So the error:

Create ADF from disk mode

Disk has checksum errors/missing data. [R]etry, [I]gnore, [A]bort?

It retries for 20 times searching for sector 0/11 and it quits like above.

The SerialIO::read() looks fine to me...

I am running Debian Buster 10.10 on a X86_64 machine.

On the same machine on VirtualBox and the GUI Executable for Windows works for reading.

Here is the DIAGNOSTIC output on Linux:

Please insert a write protected disk in the drive.

Use a disk that you don't mind being erased.

This disk must contain data/formatted as an AmigaDOS disk [Enter/ESC]:

Writing and Verifying Track 41 (Upper Side).
DIAGNOSTICS FAILED: Unable to detect written track. This could be for one of the following reasons:
DIAGNOSTICS FAILED: 1. Please check the following PINS on the Arduino: 3, A0, A1
DIAGNOSTICS FAILED: 2. Please check the Arduino IDE config has not been modified from stock. This was tested using 1.8.4, compiler settings may affect performance
DIAGNOSTICS FAILED: 3. Check for poor connections, typically on a breadboard they may be intermittent which may pass the above results but still not work.
DIAGNOSTICS FAILED: 4. Check for an electrically noisy environment. It is possible that electronic noise (eg: from a cell phone) may cause errors reading and writing to the disk
DIAGNOSTICS FAILED: 5. Shorten the floppy disk cable to help reduce noise.
DIAGNOSTICS FAILED: 6. Ensure your power supply is strong enough to power the floppy drive. This drive may need too much power for the USB port
DIAGNOSTICS FAILED: 7. You can contact me for help, but some basic electronics diagnostics will help, checkout YouTube for guides.

Running the DIAGNOSTIC on the same machine in a VirtualBox Environment it gives me the following screen:

I think we know what this is. If you head over to the discord server and checkout the changes people are trying for Amiberry support I suspect they will fix this too

Hi It’s https://discord.gg/HctVgSFEXu Do a search for VMIN there’s two lines in code and a Linux config change to make Rob Smith Creative/Frontend/Backend Developer http://robsmithdev.co.uk
