can anyone help me with the linking of multiple cores? or tell me where to find the info?

do i need to change tha asm files or anything?

thanx

To link the cores you just connect pin 25(transmit) of the first core to pin 26(recieve) of the second core. Your second (third...) core won't need the 6N138 since you are connecting them directly. You can use Jack 11 to do this. See this pic: http://www.ucapps.de/midibox_sid_cs/sid_csB_connections.gif

Your first core will need the 6n138 for the midi in.

what about the firmware? do i need to tell it where the start and end are or does it matter?

this is going to be an expanded mackie control.

p.s. thanx for the other response.

From the midibox link page:

MIDIbox Link has been integrated into following firmwares: MIDIbox64, MIDIbox16e, MIDIbox MF, and MIOS of course.

It can be enabled in the MIDI config menu, with the Editor GUI or with the mk_syx script. All boxes before the last box have to be configured as "MIDIbox Link Forwarding Point", and the last box as "MIDIbox Link Endpoint".

The firmwares already have midi link in them. You just have to configure them as above.

thanx. i'll check that out further.

also what file has that prog line?

[TK.]

If the application doesn't setup the merger by itself, just add following code to the USER_Init function:

For cores which are acting as "MIDIbox Forwarding Point(s)"

USER_Init
        movlw   MIOS_MIDI_MERGER_MBLINK_FP
        call    MIOS_MIDI_MergerSet

For the core which is acting as "MIDIbox Endpoint"

USER_Init
        movlw   MIOS_MIDI_MERGER_MBLINK_EP
        call    MIOS_MIDI_MergerSet

hi tk or anyone else,

do i install  the same firmware (not the boot loader) on all the cores?

do i "sysex" the cores individually or all together?if the programs are the same, all together?

[TK.]

The program is the same, but the configuration is different.

So every core requires it's individual .syx file

Don't worry, the upload doesn't take longer than 5 seconds,

and you are able to replace the setup stored in the

internal flash more than 10.000 times... ;-)

Best Regards, Thorsten.
