[License](#license) ## Compatibility Compatible with Kickstart 1.3 and up. ## Jumper settings **IDE Off**: Close to disable IDE **RAM1/RAM2**: Autoconfig RAM configuration |RAM1|RAM2|Size| |-|-|----| |Open|Open|**8 MB**| |Closed|Open|**4 MB**| |Open|Closed|**2 MB**| |Closed|Closed|**Disable**| ## Connections * **LED**: Activity LED * **OVR**: **(Optional)** if connected this will enable the Ranger ($C00000) and Bonus ($A00000) RAM regions. Connect OVR to Gary pin 29 or pin 17 of the side expansion port * **CFGIN/OUT**: These pins allow this device to co-exist with other Autoconfig devices. If there are no other Autoconfig devices in your system you can just leave these unconnected. If there *are* other Autoconfig devices you will want to use one of these to add the device to the chain.

In the Amiga 2000 you can connect CFGIN to U606 Pin 8 which will add the device to the end of the chain but **NOTE: This takes up the config signal for the leftmost slot (CN601) so do NOT install a Zorro card there** ## Enabling A0 Bonus RAM The A0 Bonus RAM is not automatically picked up by kickstart and needs to be added using one of the included utilities. Note that the `addmem` command from Aminet will **NOT** work - the memory is not enabled until a specific RIDE register is set to enable it To add the A0 Bonus RAM to the system you will need to use the `addram` command included in the RIDE-Software adf/lha found under [Releases](https://github.com/LIV2/RIDE/releases/latest). Alternatively you can add the `bootrom` module to a custom kickstart so that this is done automatically at every boot. ## Programming Program the CPLD using the relevant .jed file below (Right-click, Save as) |Model|File| |-----|----| |A500(+)

Also included in the release are the placement and bom files needed for JLCPCB's assembly service ### PCB Order details This PCB has been designed to JLCPCB's 4-layer capabilities so I recommend ordering from them * Layers: 4 * Surface finish: ENIG * Remove Order Number: Yes ### PCB Assembly The release files include the relevant BOM and CPL files for JLCPCB's Assembly service You can use the following options: * PCBA Type: Economic * Assembly side: Top side * Confirm Parts Placement: Yes (I recommend checking that all ICs have pin 1 in the correct location etc) ### Bill of materials **Note**: * The BOM lists a Mill-Max part for the pin sockets, however you can substitute these for some 9.7mm pin sockets like [these](https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33019740866.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.similar_items.43.4ce068b4xz903H&utparam-url=scene%3Aimage_search%7Cquery_from%3Adetail_bigimg&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21NZD%2116.79%217.71%21%21%219.24%214.24%21%402101c67a17357902339972308e0382%2167156399241%21sea%21NZ%210%21ABX) * The 39SF010 flash can be substituted with 39SF020 or 39SF040 in TSOP-32 [BOM](https://html-preview.github.io/?url=https://github.com/LIV2/RIDE/blob/master/Docs/RIDE_bom.html) [HTML Interactive BOM](https://html-preview.github.io/?url=https://github.com/LIV2/RIDE/blob/master/Docs/RIDE-ibom.html) ## Acknowledgements Thanks to [SukkoPera](https://github.com/SukkoPera) for supporting my early IDE prototype. ## License [![License: GPL v2](https://img.shields.io/badge/License-GPL_v2-blue.svg)](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.en.html) This project is licensed under the GPL-2.0 only license
