FPGA: Apollo-Core-Update Gold 2.7 / SAGA driver 1.0
The Apollo core is a FPGA-reimplementation of Motorolas m68k-series, which also provides a separate graphic output called SAGA. Currently the core is used in the accelerator boards 600 V2 and 500 V2(+). Changes in the latest core "Gold 2.7":
- Fast Hardware FPU (to play some games or Demos)
- AMMX2 (to highly accelerate Video, Jpeg, Workbench, many games)
- High performance Memory controller (Making your Vamp even faster now)
- Workbench Hardware Sprite
- Countless improvements
Currently the update can be installed using a special USB download cable from a Windows or Linux PC. A flash update which can be started from the Amiga will be available within the next days.
A new, AMMX2 optimized version of the P96 driver for SAGA has been released as well. Changes in SAGA driver 1.0:
- Added VControl 1.1 (replace VampireTool)
- Updated SAGA driver installer
- Updated SDNet to 1.0 (Bax)
- Improved VampireGFX performance with AMMX (Bax)
- Complete VampireGFX driver rewrite in ASM (flype)
