YouTube: Recording of the PiStorm-presentation at FOSDEM 2024
Andrew "LinuxJedi" Hutchings, full-time CCO for the MySQL alternative MariaDB Foundation, is known as a developer of hardware and software for the Amiga. At FOSDEM 2024, an open source developer conference held on March 3rd to 4th, 2024, in Brussels, Belgium, Hutchings gave a presentation on "PiStorm - The evolution of an open source Amiga accelerator", which demonstrates the modification of the Raspberry Pi mini motherboard as an Amiga turbo card and is available on YouTube.

In the presentation, Hutchings demonstrates the use of the PiStorm32-Lite on his Amiga 1200 and talks about this and other topics:
  • What the PiStorm really is, both as hardware and a community
  • The history of the project, including the bumps along the road
  • Directions that is intended to take the project in the future
  • A demonstration of what PiStorm is capable of
The recording can be accessed via the title link. (nba)

Trevor's Blog: On the Plus side
Trevor Dickinson from A-EON Technology published a new article in his "Trevor's Blog" yesterday. Among other things, he explains why the delivery of the A1222 Plus motherboards, which began a week ago, has been delayed again: "The original batch of boards received over a month ago worked well but did not include the onboard USB headers and had to be sent back to the manufacturer for minor rework. Also a revision change by the MCU manufacturer meant the onboard temperature sensor was not read correctly and the CPU fan did not spin up. When designing the motherboard, Varisys, the original hardware developer, did not think a CPU fan was necessary but included one as an extra precaution." The problem was solved by modifying the MCU programming firmware.

As Trevor Dickinson further reports, other people besides AAA Technology were involved in making the release of the A1222 Plus possible: Steven Solie, for example, developed an extremely fast and simple, but very powerful recovery USB drive that ensures that all necessary OS4.1 and enhancer software files are installed correctly, and Alexandre Balaban created a fully updated AmigaOS 4.1-ISO.
