Uzebox Forums

I wonder if that has all of the Atmel (now Microchip) patches applied, since the latest official version on Microchip's website is 7.3.0. One example that used to be different is the avr-objdump command has extra parameters specific to AVR chips. I'm not on a computer now but IIRC one of the specif...

Yikes that's still really old, on my Fedora 37 box I have avr-gcc 12.1.0.

When it was attached I tried UzeboxUI which loaded but the apps menu was empty and I think a few other things were missing too so maybe I have a problem with my Uzenet adapter? Did you copy the uzeboxui.txt file to the SD card? Also try clicking the About option in the menu, if a window opens up an...

Questions someone probably knows the answer to. As I understand it >= v5 bootloaders can actually load from an arbitrary offset on the SD, not just the beginning of a file? So the individual .uze files could be padded to the max size of 60K, then just directly concatenate multiple into 1 file to ma...

Very nice

I have yet to 3D print a case for my Uzebox, it's still just the bare PCB but honestly that kinda adds to the coolness factor of it hehe

I didn't dig into the code enough to know for sure, though being 16 bit, is the 3K limit completely arbitrary to allow lots of apps or something else? Yep that's exactly it, perhaps it's a bit overkill but it's designed to allow up to 10 windows open at a time, each with their own VM. Since it's be...

Awesome, thanks for doing this!! Hopefully we'll see some more UzeboxUI apps from others too :D I should probably explain about the jump_to_main.py thing. EmbedVM applications' `main()` function doesn't always begin at address 0, so what that python script does is parse the generated header file and...

Z80 assembly is certainly easier to learn imo, it was one of the first assembly languages I ever learned. AVR assembly isn't hard though, it's just different.

I love this so far!! Especially with the humor and stuff, it makes it fun to watch hehe. I'd say definitely keep going!

Given that...I doubt you could do much visually in a real time app, if it had to actually store and churn out arbitrary pixels for everything in app code. I guess I'm trying to say this tile based version seems a better balance than I imagined, and M3 RAM tiles might not be too far off the amount o...
