CBS6000 - an 8-bit 6510 computer
« on: September 10, 2014, 12:12:44 pm »
Original blog post:
http://8times8.eeems.me:81/blog/index.php?thread=7

CBS6000 stands for Cartridge Based System 6000 (KB)
Name is subject to change.
I have been working on this computer for a couple of days now. Today I added the I/O board with a seven segment display on it. It is driven by a latch, so I could even put letters on it.
Specs:
  • Cpu: MOS6510 @1MHz (base 2MHz divided /2)
  • Ram: 128KB
  • Rom: 8KB
  • I/O: UART, FSK modem (also for loading from casette tape), printer port, 6 digit led display

It has a lot more memory compared to the 2600, but it does not have video output or a decent keyboard/input method yet. I might wire up a CIA for serial communication.

I found some cool stuff at the thriftshop. Old phone dial disks (or whatever you call these)
I want to use them as an input device for this computer.

Proof of concept using an arduino. It reads the signals coming from the dial and makes LED's in a light ring light up to indicate which number you dialed.

More progress ^.^

I wired it up to my 8 bit computer and it works like a charm! Now I can use it as an input device for more complex programs.

Wow, that's quite cool! I've built some little things like this, but nothing as fleshed out of this. I can't wait to see where this goes.

Fun stuff Keoni29. Is it a reboot of your older computer project or is it a side project? I was wondering since you were working on another 8-bit computer a while ago, but with an eZ80.

This is a little side project. I felt like taking a break from eZ8 assembly. The 6510 cpu is a very limited cpu, so I probably won't write a complete operating system for it.

If it lacks an OS, would it need something like floppy disks or cartridges to have something to boot from? (eg a game)

If you have any hardware projects or need help with one, you should post about them in this sub-forum. I'm sure some people might be interested :)

I wrote a bootloader for the computer. I can send data using a software-defined 2 wire serial interface. Because I didn't feel like writing a PC program to send files to the computer yet I hooked up 2 buttons to the pins and entered a 22 byte blinky led program manually. After I hit the execute key the LED started blinking :3 I am so glad that this is coming together so well.

Code: [Select]
// Pseudocode:
// Repeat 8 times
//   Wait for SCK to go LOW / Execute program if RUN is LOW
//   DOUT = 0
//   Wait for SCK to go HIGH again
//   Read bit from DIN and store to buffer
// End
// Move byte from buffer to address
// Increment address
// DOUT = 1
// Otherwise: receive another byte
SCK is the clock pin
DIN is the data-in pin
DOUT is the data-out pin. I use DOUT as an acknowledge signal. After every received byte DOUT is HIGH until CLK goes low again.
