The Z80-MBC2 is an easy to build Z80 SBC (Single Board Computer).It is the "evolution" of the Z80-MBC (https://hackaday.io/project/19000), with a SD as "disk emulator" and with a 128KB banked RAM for CP/M 3 (but it can run CP/M 2.2, QP/M 2.71, UCSD Pascal, Collapse OS and Fuzix too).

It has an optional on board 16x GPIO expander, and uses common cheap add-on modules for the SD and the RTC options. It has an "Arduino heart" using an Atmega32A as EEPROM and "universal" I/O emulator (so a "legacy" EPROM programmer is not needed).

It is a complete development "ecosystem", and using the iLoad boot mode it is possible cross-compile, load and execute on the target an Assembler or C program (using the SDCC compiler) with a single command (like in the Arduino IDE).

* NOTE TO THE READER *: Due to a text size limitation of the Hackaday. io site a few chapters have been moved to "Log files". In this case you have just to click on the link of the chapter's title to open a new tab and read it.





* * HARDWARE OVERVIEW * *

The needed ICs for the "base system" are:

  • Z80 CPU CMOS (Z84C00) 8Mhz or greater
  • Atmega32A
  • TC551001-70 (128kB RAM)
  • 74HC00

If you want the 16x GPIO expansion (GPE option) add a MCP23017 too.

The schematic and the BOM are attached in the Files section. The MCU Atmega32A is used as universal I/O subsystem, as Eeprom, and as reset and 4/8MHz clock generator for the Z80 CPU.
Inside the Atmega32A it is flashed an Arduino bootloader taken from here, and it is possible to use the Board Manager of the Arduino IDE to "import" it.

Flash the Arduino bootloader at first (with the method you prefer), next you can upload the IOS "sketch" (the I/O Subsystem that interacts with the Z80 bus and "virtualizes" the EEPROM and all the peripherals seen by the Z80 CPU) using Arduino IDE.

You can use the on board ICSP port J3 (also called ISP port) to write the bootloader, but remember to disconnect any other connector when using it. Also both SD and RTC modules (if present) must be removed from the board when the ICSP port is in use.

As clock source for the Z80 CPU it is used the 16MHz Atmega32A oscillator, so the "external 16MHZ osc." bootloader variant must be chosen when flashing the bootloader from the Arduino IDE!.

The 74HC00 is used as RS flipflop to stop the Z80 CPU during I/O operation, giving the needed time to the Atmega32A to interact with the Z80 bus, and as part of the MMU.

Note that only the CMOS version of the Z80 CPU can be used here. This because only CMOS version, under given condition that are respected in this schematic, has logical levels compatibles with Atmega32A and 74HC00.


NOTES ABOUT THE COMPONENTS

You should use a  Z80 CMOS speed grade of at least 8MHz for full speed, but setting the clock speed at 4MHz you can use a 4MHz Z80 CMOS version too (or you can try to overclock it at 8MHz...). The 74HC00 can be substituted with a 74HCT00 if you already have one. The RAM chip TC551001-70 can be substituted with any suitable 128kB SRAM).

Please note that the USER led  * must * be blue or white (or pink... I've some pink leds that seems to have a Vf like blue one. May be I'll do a board with them...) just to be sure that V(forward) is >= 2.7V (otherwise the USER key may not work as expected).

The J4 connector (AUX_P) is used as auxiliary power connector when an add-on board (uCom or uTerm) is connected.

The three solder jumpers (SJ1-3) on the bottom side are not currently supported and must  be left opened (as stated in the schematic).


THE GPE OPTION (GPIO CONNECTOR)

It is possible to choose to populate on the PCB a GPIO port expander (U5) to add 16 bidirectional GPIO pins. The GPE option (see the schematic) can be used with the SPP Adapter board (see the paragraph: SPP (STANDARD PARALLEL PORT) ADAPTER BOARD).

The pinout of the GPIO (J7) connector is:


THE SERIAL PORT

The  SERIAL port (J2, see schematic) can be connected with a TTL-RS232 adapter, or with a serial-USB adapter.
I've used a serial-USB adapter that acts also as power source for the Z80-MBC, and has the DTR signal for the "autoreset" driven from the Arduino IDE. For a terminal that has a serial TTL port no adapter is needed.

Of course to upload a "sketch" from Arduino IDE you need to use a serial-USB adapter connected to the SERIAL port.

Note that the RTS and CTS pins of the SERIAL port are not currently supported and must be left not connected (as the NC pin!).

The 3V3 pin of the serial-USB adapter must be left disconnected  (if present).

You should use those Serial-USB adapters that have the DTR pin on the connector. It is suggested to have also the CTS/RTS signals available for future upgrades.

Please note that all the pin...

  • * * ​USING THE TASM CROSS ASSEMBLER * *

    Just4Fun • 10/09/2023 at 14:07 • 0 comments

    * * USING THE TASM CROSS ASSEMBLER * *

    The TASM cross assembler (Windows CLI application) can be used for various CPU. It can be downloaded from here. The on-line manual is here.

    Using the TASM cross assembler it is possible setup a toolchain to program the Z80-MBC2, doing all the development on a PC and uploading the code with the serial port and then executing it on the target Z80-MBC2 with iLoad.

    After the download of the TASM zip file, unzip it into your working directory (it is the folder where your assembler source files are stored) and to assemble an user source give the command:

    tasm -s -h -c -g0 -80  <Your_source.asm> out.hex

    It will be created the out.hex file (Intel-hex formatted executable file).

    Now you can upload and execute out.hex using the iLoad boot mode of the Z80-MBC2.

    Remember that iLoad will take the first address of the Intel-Hex stream as the starting address of the program, and after the loading will jump to it.

    At this point you can follow the same steps to create an automated toolchain described in the paragraph "SDCC: SETTING UP AN AUTOMATED TOOLCHAIN (WINDOWS)".


    TASM: USING AUTOBOOT

    If you want create a binary file to use with the Autoboot boot mode you can generate it with the command:

    tasm -s -h -c -g3 -80   <Your_source.asm> out.bin

    It will be created a flat binary file out.bin. Then rename out.bin as autoboot.bin and copy it into the root of the SD used by the Z80-MBC2.

  • * * ​USING THE SDCC CROSS COMPILER * *

    Just4Fun • 10/05/2023 at 13:27 • 0 comments

    * * USING THE SDCC CROSS COMPILER * *

    Using the SDCC (Small Device C Compiler) cross-compiler it is possible setup a toolchain to program the Z80-MBC2 with the C language, doing all the development on a PC and uploading the code with the serial port and then executing it on the target Z80-MBC2 with iLoad. 

    SDCC can be found here: https://sdcc.sourceforge.net/.

    After installing it, SDCC needs to be in some way instructed about how to deal with the specific HW of the Z80-MBC2.

    For this reason in the SD image, inside the \SDCC folder, there are two support files: S190818-R011023_crt0.s and S290923_Z80-MBC2.c.

    All the steps needed to configure the toolchain are explained below (we will assume a Windows operating system here, but the steps are similar for Linux):


    STEP 1:

    Copy the two support files S190818-R011023_crt0.s and S290923_Z80-MBC2.c from the SD image (\SDCC folder) to your working directory (it is the folder where your C source files are stored) and compile the first file with the command (from your working directory):

    sdasz80 -plosgff -o S190818-R011023_crt0.s

    It will be created the S190818-R011023_crt0.rel file.


    STEP 2:

    Now it's time to compile the second support file (S290923_Z80-MBC2.c). Here things are a little more complex because this file can be compiled in two different ways which differ depending on whether interrupts are enabled or not.

    The  need to have interrupts enabled or not depends on whether your user program uses them or not.

    To enable the interrupts support compile with the command (from your working directory):

    sdcc -c -mz80 -DZ80MBC2IRQ S290923_Z80-MBC2.c

    Instead to disable the interrupts support compile with (from your working directory): 

    sdcc -c -mz80 S290923_Z80-MBC2.c

    It will be created the S290923_Z80-MBC2.rel file.


    STEP 3:

    iLoad uses the first address as starting address for the execution, so the executable file (Intel-Hex formatted) must be in ascending address order. This is not guaranteed by SDCC, so you need to use the srec_cat utility to sort the file. You can download this utility from here: https://srecord.sourceforge.net/  and then you have to copy the srec_cat.exe file into your working directory.


    All done!

    To compile your source file the command is (from your working directory):

    sdcc -mz80 --no-std-crt0 S190818-R011023_crt0.rel <your_source.c> S290923_Z80-MBC2.rel -o temp.hex

    It will be created the temp.hex file (Intel-hex formatted executable file).

    Now to sort the file give the command (from your working directory): 

    srec_cat -disable-sequence-warnings temp.hex -Intel -o out.hex -Intel

    This will create the sorted file ready to be loaded with iLoad: out.hex.

    Now you can upload and execute out.hex using the iLoad boot mode of the Z80-MBC2.


    SDCC: SETTING UP AN AUTOMATED TOOLCHAIN (WINDOWS)

    To create an automated toolchain you need another "ingredient", a terminal emulator supporting scripts. Here we will use Tera Term. You can download Tera Term from here: https://ttssh2.osdn.jp/index.html.en.

    After installing Tera Term, from the SD image inside the \SDCC folder, copy into the working directory the following batch files: SDC.BAT and L.BAT.

    Before using the L.BAT batch file you have to adapt two parameters according with the configuration of your PC. 

    Go at line 18 and verify the path where Tera Term (ttermpro.exe) is installed, and at line 19 the number of the COM port used to connect the Z80-MBC2 to your PC.

    You need also to copy the Tera Term script LoadZ80.ttl from the /SDCC folder (inside the SD image) to the directory where Tera Term (ttermpro.exe) is installed, and adapt the parameter at line 15 with the complete path of your working directory in your system.

    Now to compile your_source.c file give the command (from your working directory):

    SDC your_source.c

    and to upload and execute it on the Z80-MBC2 (from your working directory): 

    L

    Remember to close the Tera Term window...

Hi Just4Fun!
I have assembled this device, it is a cool project. But I noticed some overengineering. You don't have to use RS-trigger to extend WAIT signal and use BUSRQ signal to reset the trigger, it is enough to use only one OR gate. https://i.postimg.cc/vHytRJ5V/IMG-20210223-102200.jpg
WAIT_RES is positive in this case. The IORQ signal instantly goes through OR gate to WAIT input and suspends the IO operation. When atmega finished to process the operation it sets high level on WAIT_RES and wait for high level on IORQ pin then it can reset WAIT_RES.
Of course, it needs some changes in firmware.
If we replace 74hc00 with 74hc32 we can simplify bank switching. https://i.postimg.cc/DfN3BcGH/IMG-20210223-102209.jpg . I drew an additional XOR gate which allows to use High or Low 32k of address space for banking. It is optional feature. 
The XOR gate can be based on 2 transistors and 3 resistors

Hi, I've been working on my own version of IOS-MBC2 but I think I'm running out of memory trying to use the Arduino SD library so I can new files to the SD card. Has anyone manage to use this library or another to write new files to the SD card.

Alternatively has anyone tried using a ATmega128 instead of the ATmega32, can't see why it wouldn't work but thought I'd ask before trying just in case its a known to cause issues.

Thanks.

Robin Hourahane wrote 01/11/2021 at 18:35 • point

Thanks for the info.

Hoping that the extra memory will allow me to use the standard SD library to read, write and create files so I can add opcodes to access the FAT file system from CP/M using a new program to do the copying.

My SD changes are on the  use-std-sd-library branch https://github.com/rhourahane/IOS-Z80-MBC2

Update:

I have now got a Atmega1284 and its working well thanks to villaomba timer changes. My SD card problems were down to the change in library not memory but as I want to add a lot more functionality I'll stick with the larger chip.

Hey coopzone, thanks for your reply. I've already add the sd card modul with the extracted files from the zip to my setup and i flashed the atmega with S220718-R280819_IOS version. Still same problem. I think the SRAM could be the problem, but unfortunately i haven't a second one to swap.

coopzone-dc wrote 12/06/2020 at 09:06 • point

Arthur, i can't seem to reply to your post below. But if you suspect the SRAM, you can get a know working one quickly on https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/264964185618

But i would check out the 7400 and surrounding logic first, The diodes can be a bit tricky as well.

  Are you sure? yes | no

DarS wrote 12/09/2020 at 21:21 • point

Arthur, please remember that MBC2 can have two firmwares: IOS and IOS-Lite. The second one (the Lite) offers just Basic and Forth, and does NOT require SD card for work. So you can flash the Lite to ATmega to check the bare bones, including SRAM. It might be faulty, but I guess it is rare.

I haven't check the ATmega code, but I guess the ATmega would indicate some error if/when SRAM is defective (ROM image is loaded to TC551001 RAM by the Atmega32A during the system boot, and only then the control is passed to Z80). You haven't seen any error from ATmega, so I guess your SRAM is good.

If you want to get more details, you can download my brief guide: https://github.com/DarS007/Z80-MBC2_guide/blob/master/Z80-MBC2-DarS007-20200927.pdf  I guess it might be useful.

As explained in the comment it triggers the INT line when a char is ready to be read by the Z80 CPU and the INT trigger flag is enabled in the IOS firmware.

This mode is used only by the stand-alone ROM Basic.

If you press and release the RESET key, D11 must do a single very fast blink (also if the SD module is not present) just before the IOS SD error is "printed" on the serial port. If you don't see it there must be an assembling error/fault.

BTW: Are you sure to have inserted the SD card module correctly (as shown in the photos)?

  Are you sure? yes | no

Thanks for fast response! The sd card is correctly installed with the proper contents as per your zip archive. Best regards, Sebastiano

I have also this error some times. After reconnect the sd-card or the board it works.
