KunfuMunky Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 I like to repair almost anything that has electricity running through it, probably just like you guys. I love to solder tiny things and I think I can build a Open Xenium as well. But building a chip from scratch... I already like to see what guys like bluemeanie23 do building gerber files from existing boards and I think that's a good place to start. But you also need to be a programmer to build stuff like this and thats a step to far for me. If there was some 101 I would probably follow it XD I'm in my thirties so still not old enough to learn 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryzee119 Posted November 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2019 Updated Openxenium CPLD code coming in the next few days. Found a really obsure booting issue that I am working to fix it. I dont think any one has built any yet, but if you are; just wait a couple days before programming them and make sure you have the latest files from github 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moses_373 Posted November 22, 2019 Report Share Posted November 22, 2019 This is just incredible... Honestly, I'd donate an X3, I've got one working and one... not so much. However, unless someone were to take it all the way and reproduce or at least re-imagine the X3CP or the pro switch to go along with it, then I don't really see the point.

Nextria Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 hello @Ryzee119, i have a question. i am trying to program a openxenium i made, with my Lattice programmer. but i get the following error, do you have any idea what could be wrong ? --------------Line41--------------: SDR 18 TDI(3FFFD) Expected TDO(00001) Expected MASK(00003) Received TDO(3FFFC) Bits Error 0001: Expected: 1 Received: 0 01/03/20 07:34:30 File e:\openxenium.svf: fail at line#:41(Check the log file for further details) i normaly also program the Aladdin chips with this one, and i modified it so it gives the 3.3v on the vcc The white light also comes on on the chip, and it tries to program it but fails. Hope you can help me, and thanks for all your hard work ! Robbert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It only says the following: --------------Line41--------------: SDR 18 TDI(3FFFD) Expected TDO(00001) Expected MASK(00003) Received TDO(3FFFC) Bits Error 0001: Expected: 1 Received: 0 01/03/20 07:34:30 File e:\openxenium.svf: fail at line#:41(Check the log file for further details) I first thought i had to switch TDO and TDI, but than it gives me an error it cant find the configration. So it sees the chip, but for some reason it will not program it. I saw a video on youtube they programmed the CPLD in the xbox, but thats not necessary right ?

Nextria Posted January 4, 2020 Report Share Posted January 4, 2020 i just finish soldering 10 pieces, and all have the same problem. I dont know if its to do with the lattice i use, i have ordered a Xilinx too. Hope to get it monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextria Posted January 7, 2020 Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) I got the Xilinx programmer yesterday and it is working now ! the only downside is, it doesn’t supply the needed 3,3v to the chip. So to program the cpld I need to have it in the Xbox. i wonder if I can modify it the same way like my lattice programmer. on the board I search for a 3,3v pin and connect it to the VCC. And a extra wire to the ground strip around the board. this way it will supply the voltage to the chip and can be programmed outside the Xbox. just need to program the flash inside still the Xbox Edited January 7, 2020 by Nextria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryzee119 Posted January 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2020 @Nextria thats awesome. Glad to hear! I powered mine using a bench supply, but if you can pull a 3.3v supply from the programmer that would be handy. Good luck with your builds! Share some photos too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nextria Posted January 19, 2020 Report Share Posted January 19, 2020 Well it took me a little bit longer because of the flue and other things. I opened up the programmer and found a 3.3V point, soldered a wire to VCC (Vref) and now can program without the need of and external power supply. I want to make a small switch on the side so I can turn it off and on. but will do this another time, (have to get ready to move next month) Made some pictures if anyone is interested, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mcboatface Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Hi Guys, first time poster here but I've been a member a little while and reading lots and found the forum to be super. I'm hoping to build a few OpenXenium in the near future. In the mean time I've installed one I bought on eBay it was excellent so I have since ordered 3 more which are on the way. I also managed to get my hands on an original Xenium ice modchip which I just finished installing and updating to latest Xenium OS 2.3.1. I used Ryzee's xenium-tools to pull the raw 2mb flash.bin from the original Xenium ice, I've installed and tested it on my OpenXenium and it works perfectly. I've uploaded it here for those who wish to use a full 2mb flash.bin to write the chips flash which from what I've read offers some advantages over flashing the XeniumOS recovery.bin I hope its of some use to people. flash.bin 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
