PiStorm64 - The Janus Bus Engine, its PiStorm but not as you know it...

Welcome to the PiStorm64 wiki for this repository. These pages document build, install, configuration, and platform features, plus how we integrated Pi-side services (A314, PiSCSI, RTG, AHI, networking) and the development environment under /opt/amiga.

Milestones:

  • PiSCSI64 remote backend is now backported to PISCSI for real boot use and boots from a 68000 CPU: remote disk on a separate host, partitioned/formatted, copied, and booted over a wired 1Gb LAN link.
  • Native PiSCSI CD-ROM workflow is validated (cdrom: + pi-scsi.device + CDFileSystem) including AmigaOS install media usage.
  • Dhrystone has passed the 64,000 mark on the validated Pi4 baseline.

Current status:

  • PiSCSI is restored to the the active storage path; PiSCSI64 removed.
  • ADF yes you can use ADF's with a314disk and we will be updating instructions, mount, eject disks at will
  • DF0 fully works, can read, write, format and boot from it.
  • RTG is now fully working FAKENATIVEMODE mostly works as VGA and 256 Colour 8 bit mode on an ECS Amiga
  • UAE JIT remains bring-up only and is not yet a reliable day-to-day runtime path, now likely to be removed
  • UAE QEMU-PPC initial work has started ppcshake --id and --irq works and WarpOS Starts PPC processor however apps do not yet load(sadly)
  • Windows/macOS remote clients build, but full runtime validation is still pending.
  • Amiga Juggler works sometimes, an issue with what is DMA 1 vs DMA 3 and we are working on this.
  • a314 its painfully slow. it always has been and we are looking of ways to improve that. no hopes for a quick fix here without a protocol rewrite.
