I wrote an article about the redesign of MNT Reform https://mntre.com/media/news_md/2019-05-20-reintroducing-reform.html

zz9000

ok the first MNT ZZ9000 for Amiga is real!

ordered components for ZZ9000 bringup

running i.MX8MQ EVK directly from 4 LiFePO4 batteries in series

i’m thinking about using 8x 18650 standard sized LiFePO4 batteries in Reform, which would yield an average 12Ah @ 3.2V / 3Ah @ 12.8V. the big advantage would be that people could easily acquire new cells and swap them out without hassle. what do you think?

a slice of Reform 2 keyboard to test haptics and spacing (keycap colors are random)

anyone here who has access to a UV inkjet printer or similar (mimaki?)? i’m looking for a keyboard lettering solution

how about immediate mode HTML

ZZ9000 routing done. detail tweaks tomorrow and then i will send it off to get some Rev 1s made.

MNT ZZ9000 routing almost complete. working on details now.

Emacs on AmigaOS

fast jpeg decode (using nanojpeg) on the ARM core of zz9000

everything is pretty smooth in wayland/sway

latest xserver/mesa/etnaviv is broken in interesting new ways on imx6

some zz9000 progress pictures: networking and loading & executing ARM code from the Amiga m68k side

if you wanna write a little graphical C demo (one C file?) for baremetal framebuffer (ok there is a c lib) to be included in ZZ9000 gfx/ARM card for Amiga, contact me
