Selbstbau-Projekt: Programmierbares ROM-Modul KickSmash32, Version 2.0
Kicksmash32 ist ein (auch) direkt vom Amiga aus programmierbares Kickstart-"ROM" für 32-Bit-Amigas (A1200, 3000, 4000), das inklusive Firmware und Amiga-Tools unter einer freien Lizenz veröffentlicht wird. Version 2.0 enthält folgende Neuerungen:
Kicksmash FW
- prom log command now shows what it thinks is the actual Amiga address
- Fixed bug where "comp" command could not be used
- Sync MED command line fixes and enhancements across repositories
- Fixed bug where "prom name A4000-CR" would set the name to "a3ff4R"
- Added standalone pin test to verify data lines are connected to flash parts
- Added flash A1-A8 address pin test.
- Changed serial number algorithm to not emit non-alphanumeric characters
- Reduced ADC clock from 12 MHz to 9 MHz
- Slightly improved ROM address capture latency by not capturing high bits
- Locked down libopencm3 to a specific known working version
- Change backpower solution to instead drive 0V on the Amiga data lines.
- Added initial GD32F107 support (higher clock speed). More work is needed.
- Further GD32 support - GPIO speed mode affects maximum pin current
- Improved pin tests (A0-A15 connection determination)
- Added "prom test force" to force initial pin tests.
- Fixed bug in USB ACM implementation which prevented using newer libopencm3
- Increased usbdfu ROM area size to deal with libopencm3 code creep
- Fixed pin tests for Kicksmash Rev 10+ (SOCKET_OE tri-state)
- Kicksmash Rev 10+ now sets internal SOCKET_OE high when power is off
ROM Switcher
- Added some tolerance of CIA-A not being readable (incomplete)
- Added debug background color (blue) during initialization
- Added MED "cpu spin " command
- Fixed false repeating key when multiple keystrokes are held
- Early init color sequence
- Green background: Stuck at chipmem init
- Bright Blue background: Stuck at early chipset or CPU vectors init
- Power LED bright: Stuck at IRQ init, CPU type, or serial init
- ROM ID at serial: Stuck at cache init
- 'A' at serial: Stuck at chipset init
- 'B' at serial: Stuck at screen init
- 'C' at serial and Medium Blue background: Stuck at timer init
- 'D' at serial: Stuck at audio init
- 'E' at serial and Half Blue background: Stuck at serial reinit
- 'F' at serial: Stuck at keyboard init
- 'G' at serial: Stuck at mouse init
- 'H' at serial and Dark Blue background: Stuck at sprite init
- 'I' at serial: Stuck at autoconfig init
- 'J' at serial: Stuck command line init
- 'K' at serial: Stuck at drawing test
- Grey background: ROM switcher should be running
- Added MED ability to get/set CPU SR register
- User may now enter a digit to select that bank for booting
- Fixed MED bug where "comp" command could not be used
- Improved tolerance of spurious interrupts because they do occur on some Amigas
- Moved Vector base from chipmem to ROM
- Added support for Keyboard-controlled Mouse movement and clicks
- Amiga-cursor keys for small movements
- Shift-Amiga-cursor keys for large movements
- Control-Amiga-cursor keys for move-to-next gadget
- Enhanced build system to allow toolchain on a different path than standard.
- Fixed dehunk compilation errors and portability issues.
- Replaced MX radio button gadget rectangle with capsule shape
- MX radio button gadgets now drawn with 3D beveled outlines
- Cleaned up serial output to always emit \n in combination with \r
- Zorro configuration apertures are now marked as uncacheable
- Implemented autoconfig of all Zorro devices by default
- Improved autoconfig to handle Zorro II devices visible through the
- Zorro III config aperature.
- Fixed autoconfig of Zorro III device in Zorro II window (HW doc is wrong)
- Find and configure Picasso IV flicker fixer as part of autoconfig
- Serial and screen output paths are not independent
- Fixed serial init to enable the master interrupt to avoid using
- timer delays before EClock rate has been established.
- Work around gcc 6.5 compiler warnings, not knowing -Wstringop-overflow
smashftp and smashfs
- Improved file operations by adding automatic message retry on CRC error
- Fixed bug where devtest -g on smashfs device could crash Amiga
hostsmash
- MacOS can now automatically locate Kicksmash
- So in most cases, one no longer needs to specify -d /dev/cu.usbmodem*`
- Fixed file service bug where non-existing file opened for create would fail
- Fixed (some) macOS compilation problems
- Added --version option
- Kicksmash asynchronous text messages will now be shown as just text
- when hostsmash is in file server mode.
- Flash write is allowed to continue even if swap mode can't be determined
smash
- Improved flash id test to better recover from Kicksmash message failures
- Enhanced smash term to allow text to send to be specified on the command line
- In that mode, term will exit after no output for 1 second
- Enhanced smash write to always first prompt for erase
- Improved smash write and erase flash error recovery
- Now even if Kicksmash communication is not 100% stable, it may still
- be possible to write flash from AmigaOS.
Build system
- Added ADF image generation as part of release process
Documentation
- Added AmigaPCi
- Minor updates to Windows notes for driver install help
- Added HW install info for A4000CR and AA3000+
- Added Windows tip about keeping the same COM port
- Added sourcing help for 74FCT162244 and alternatives
PCBs
- Kicksmash4KCR updated to Rev9

AmigaKit: Ankündigung von Beschleuniger-Upgrade und AmiPrint für den A1200NG
Für sein emulationsbasiertes System A1200NG hat AmigaKit im Kontext der Veranstaltung ZZAP! Live 2026 (Videos) für den Sommer zwei Ankündigungen getätigt: Zum einen soll es ein Beschleuniger-Upgrade geben, das annähernd 2000 MIPS liefere, und zum anderen werde es mit AmiPrint eine Software geben, mit der aktuelle Drucker direkt genutzt werden können, sei es lokal oder übers Netzwerk.
