Hi everyone! I've build a pretty minimal midibox SID setup: CORE + SID + DIN + LCD + some BankSticks I've burned the bootloader into the pic (i'm an electronics student, so i have an ICD 2) Then uploaded mios 1.9f through MIOS Studio 9 beta This boots up fine. Then uploaded sid_v2_rc30 through MIOS Studio. MIOS boots up, and then starts formatting Patch 'A'. (even when I have no bankstick connected!) 0 -> 128 and then patch B, then C, etc. etc. Does this every time I start the box. I can hear the bleeps coming from the SID. (testtone app is working and pic can control every pin of the sid) The EEPROMs i'm using are microchip 24LC512 types. I also tried to change "DEFAULT_ENS_BS_CS" to -1, 0 and 7... Oh, and i'm using a 6582A SID (= 8580 ?) Any ideas? I'm getting pretty desperate...

Hi Thorsten, I was lacking that resistor and diode indeed! Didn't find a place where I was supposed to solder them, so I just put them on the back somehow. The rebooting issue seems to have been resolved! Thanks for the help, I'm sorry I missed that troubleshooting page... I still got the Midibox formatting all the patches over and over, everytime I start up the box.... Anyhow, I can at least get to the interface now!

Hi, thanks for the reply. I got my PCBs from http://www.mikes-elektronikseite.de/ Yes, i think that schematic is a bit odd too... I don't get why SC and SO connect to RA4 (pin 5) and RD5 (pin 28), but they sure do on my PCB... They measure 1 kOhm between 5V and SD/SC. So that seems to be correct... Is this correct? Btw: I indeed keep getting the formatting (of all patches when MBNet is not initialized), even when no bankstick is connected!

Some messing in the source has revealed this to me: Disabling "call MBNET_Init" Seems to let me format all patches (and not rebooting after Patch A) But gives me "SID1 not available" (No MBNet Response) I suppose I have to look up the MBNet connection? (I have to go now, i'll keep you guys updated, any ideas are welcome!)

Hi everyone! I've build a pretty minimal midibox SID setup: CORE + SID + DIN + LCD + 2 BankSticks (CS0 and 7) I've burned the bootloader into the pic (i'm an electronics student, so i have an ICD 2) Then uploaded mios 1.9f through MIOS Studio 9 beta This boots up fine. Then uploaded sid_v2_rc30 through MIOS Studio. MIOS boots up, and then starts formatting Patch 'A'. (even when I have no bankstick connected!) 0 -> 128 and then hangs, and then a bit later reboots. Does this all over. I can hear the bleeps coming from the SID. (testtone app is working and pic can control every pin of the sid) The EEPROMs i'm using are microchip 24LC512 types. I have soldered the two wires on the back of the CORE as indicated on ucapps.de, are these needed? (one is going to the IIC interface...) I also tried to change "DEFAULT_ENS_BS_CS" to -1, 0 and 7... Oh, and i'm using a 6582A SID (= 8580 ?) Any ideas? I'm getting pretty desperate...
