Received my DE0-CV and got HRA!'s version up and running (MSX2 and Turbo-R). Very cool.
Somehow the IPL will not boot from the uSD it seems, have to look into that.

Busy creating a 'DE0CM' (work in progress). Almost finished, mostly getting the PCB to the correct size.

Very nice!
My OCM改 support MSX-MIDI (currently send only). Therefore, we have added a MIDI port to DEOCM. If you're building a new board, it's best to have a MIDI port as well.

Thanks! I am planning on integrating MIDI out using a 3.5mm TRS connector (type A, now a MIDI 2.0 standard).
Now that I have the DE0-CV I used it to debug my Cyclone v breakout board and also got your OCM working on it. It's a bit more difficult as it does not have the dip switches currently.
Looking forward to new OCM updates Smile

My Cyclone V breakout (v1):

There are some extra goodies under the FPGA board (SRAM, Flash and SPI flash). Which will probably be not on the next revision where the joystick ports and a MSX cartridge port will be added and audio out integrated. Now it uses a I2S audio solution.

My MSX breakout for the DE0-CV FPGA board is ready for testing!
First tests show sound is working Smile

I wish someone made something like this for the de10nano core (MiSTer)

Nice.
Is there a 5v to 12v converter on your board ? (as DEOCM)

Thanks. No, there is no -12 and +12V in this revision. Maybe I'll add it in a next revision.

I would consider leaving this as optional or being able to disable it through a jumper to turn it off physically.

Most cartridges and interfaces do not use this voltage, and those boost DC/DC converters tend to add noise to power lines.
