## 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(+)
A1000
A2000|[RIDE.jed](https://github.com/LIV2/RIDE/raw/master/Binary/RIDE.jed)|
|CDTV|[RIDE-CDTV.jed](https://github.com/LIV2/RIDE/raw/master/Binary/RIDE-CDTV.jed)|
You can find instructions on how to do that [here](https://linuxjedi.co.uk/2020/12/01/programming-xilinx-jtag-from-a-raspberry-pi/)
The IDE ROM can be programmed by booting from the latest lide-update.adf [here](https://github.com/LIV2/LIDE.device/releases/latest).
## Ordering PCBs
Download the latest Gerbers.zip from the latest release listed on the right-hand side of this page.
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
