General STM32 HxC Floppy Emulator Firmware Usage -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-> Format the USB Stick in FAT32 (FAT12 & FAT16 also supported).
-> Copy the right HXCSDFE.CFG file to the root of the USB Stick (See "Mode selection" below for more details).
-> Copy or generate your disks images to the USB Stick. (See "File images supported" below for mode details).
-> Insert the USB Stick into the emulator.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Mode selection -
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
There are actually three modes available :
---------------
- Normal mode -
---------------
In this mode the file image/disk to load is directly selected with the buttons
and the LCD screen. One I2C screen and a push button on the JA connector is needed
to be able to use this mode. No extra software needed.
The config file to copy to the root of the flash media for this mode :
Config_Files\Normal_mode\HXCSDFE.CFG
----------------
- Indexed mode -
----------------
In this mode the file images must be named DSKA0000.HFE, DSKA0001.HFE, DSKA0002.HFE,...
The 2/3 digits display shows the actual file number selected.
No LCD and/or extra push button is needed to use this mode.
No extra software needed.
This is the recommended mode when you don't have the extra LCD & button and when
your machine can't use the autoboot mode (see below).
The config file to copy to the root of the flash media for this mode :
Config_Files\Indexed_mode\HXCSDFE.CFG
-------------------
- "Autoboot" mode -
-------------------
In this mode, the AUTOBOOT.HFE software is used to select the images to load
directly on the computer.
This software is actually available on Amiga, Atari ST and CPC computers.
No LCD and/or extra push button is required to use this mode, but the LCD may help you
to see which disk is actually mounted.
