<h1>NETBOOT65 FOR THE C64</h1>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>STARTING THE SERVER</h2>
|
||
|
|
<ol>
|
||
|
|
<li> unzip the archive somewhere on your local hard drive</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>start the bin/tftp_server.rb script (e.g. by double-clicking on it)</li>
|
||
|
|
</ol>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>TO USE WITH VICE</h2>
|
||
|
|
Run VICE with the nb65_std_cart.bin cartridge image attached (e.g. "x64.exe -cart8 nb65_std_cart.bin")
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>TO USE WITH A REAL C64</h2>
|
||
|
|
<h3>Option 1 - Hardcore</h3>
|
||
|
|
burn the nb65_std_cart.bin cartridge to an EPROM and insert in an 8KB cartridge (which should be set up to have EXROM=0, GAME=1)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h3>Option 2 - Just dabbling</h3>
|
||
|
|
You can just run the nb65_c64_ram.prg program (which is essentially the cartridge image plus a loader prg to insert the image into the right place in RAM).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>USING THE CARTRIDGE</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When the cartridge starts, it will attempt to configure the IP stack via DHCP. If the DHCP config fails (either by timing out, or the user press RUN/STOP)
|
||
|
|
then the IP stack will fall back to using the IP configuration built into the cartridge. See the section "IP CONFIGURATION" for info on how to modify the
|
||
|
|
cartridge defaults prior to burning an image.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Once the IP stack is initialised, the "main menu" screen will be displayed. From the main menu, the following options are available:
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>F1 : TFTP BOOT. THis will query a TFTP server for a list of PRG files, and allow the selection of a file to be downloaded and executed.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>F3 : BASIC. This will exit to BASIC (with IP stack still configured, so NB65 aware apps can be loaded from disk and run)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>F5 : UTILITY. This brings up a 'utility' menu - as of v0.5 of the cartridge, the only utility option is to display the ARP cache</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>F7 : CONFIG. This brings up a menu where the IP configuration can be modified. Changes made here will be persistent until the next reboot.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
<h2>IP CONFIGURATION</h2>
|
||
|
|
There is a script in the "bin" folder called "set_ip_config.rb" that can be used to modify the MAC address and IP config details in the cart image before
|
||
|
|
it is burned. For example, to set the MAC address and DNS servers, use this command:
|
||
|
|
<pre>set_ip_config.rb nb65_std_cart.bin mac ab:cd:ef:12:34:56 dns 10.5.1.1</pre>
|
||
|
|
run "set_ip_config.rb" with no parameters to see all the options for what can be configured.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<h2>ADDING MORE FILES</h2>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Only single-load files can be used (this may change in a future release). The files need to be in "PRG" format, i.e.the first 2 bytes of the file must be
|
||
|
|
the load address (little-endian, i.e. low/high). The files also need to have a file extension of ".PRG" (in upper case, if your operating system of choice
|
||
|
|
is case sensitive).
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Files need to be placed in the 'boot/' folder.
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Due to a limitation in the menu selection code, only the first 128 PRG files in the boot/ folder can be selected.
