NO OSD on Amiga 500

Post by Xenogears »

Hello and merry Christmas,

today I spend some time to install the Gotec with latest Firmware in my A500. Connections are soldered 100 % correct but no OSD shows up. May it depend on I am using a modern LCD-Screen ? Does it only work on CRT ?

The "Normal"-Config is on the USB-Stick. As I have seen in the Videos, when powering on, Information should be is shown on the Display.

CSync is giving a Signal, I use 330Ohm in Video Output Line and a can measure 0.92 V in the Line.

Any Ideas for me what to do ?

Yours

Daniel

Right now you need an STM32 Gotek for this. The OSD support still need to be ported on the Artery chip. (planed in the next month)
Are you using an Artery Gotek ? Which Gotek/pcb are you using ?

Good Morning Jeff,

the Chip on both Goteks I programmed last month is a STM32, cables are soldered perfect, checked connections to the STM32 with a Multimeter.

Ok fine !
Have you installed the OSD version firmware ?
If so can you try to update to the HxCFEUSB_V3_6_1_2a_OSD.UPD firmware ? ( this is the last one before the Artery woes :wink: )

Also the V3_6_1_2a_OSD - did not show a menue. I have the following Files on the USB-Stick:

DSKA0000.hfe
HXCDFE.CFG
and the Flash-Software mentioned above...
Anything missing maybe ?

No no, the OSD should work "out the box" even without any usb stick.
Are you sure the you have update the firmware ? :

The installation Image showing where to grab CSYNC is not working on my A500 PCB ! I took CSYNC directly from the Video Out Connector and that WORKED ! Yes, Firmware Updated...was not the Firmware.

For NON-RGB-UNITS, that only offer CVIDEO oder LUMA / CHROMA... if I strip CSYNC using LM1881 IC - any Idea how to add the OSD to VIDEO, CHROMA OR LUMA (LIGHT GREY ?!)

Thanks for your Help !
