| + | ====Flashing a Gotek==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | __Via Linux__ | ||
| + | |||
| + | This is for **AT** or **Artery** based Goteks ONLY! There are different instructions for STM32 controllers. | ||
| + | |||
| + | - install dfu-util, it should be available from most distros | ||
| + | - sudo apt install dfu-util | ||
| + | - download the flashfloppy release and unpack it. There will be a dfu/ directory containing the firmware file. You want to use the .dfu file, not the .hex file. | ||
| + | - set the programming jumper on the gotek as per wiki. | ||
| + | - attach gotek to linux box via USB-A to USB-A cable. | ||
| + | - list dfu devices attached This should display two entries for one device (just different alt numbers). If more than one device is shown, you'll have to add the --device option as per the dfu-util manpage. | ||
| + | - sudo dfu-util --list # | ||
| + | - if the Gotek is factory fresh you may need to unprotect it. It is safe to do this if it is already unprotected. | ||
| + | - sudo dfu-util -D / | ||
| + | - now that the flash is unlocked you can program/ | ||
| + | - sudo dfu-util -D / | ||
| + | - remove the USB-A cable | ||
| + | - remove the temp programming jumper | ||
| + | |||
| + | ====Misc Notes==== | ||
| + | * FF 3.41 is current as of 2023-Aug | ||
| + | * ideally, try to find a 435 chip it has 384KB of SRAM | ||
| + | * most new Goteks have a 415 chips which work fine for Amigas, that chip only has 32KB SRAM, this will limit things like extra features and HD file images, again not a biggie for Amigas | ||
| + | * there is an open hardware version of the gotek named OpenFlops it works with Flash Floppy | ||
