#Floppy to usb emulator software v3 code

Preparing the firmware for the next releases / features : Important code size optimizations.

The bootloader can installed on all these Gotek using the normal online procedure :.

The server was updated this week to support all the 3 Gotek variants :.

The bootloader now supports GPT/GUID formatted USB sticks.

The bootloader was updated this week to support all the 3 Gotek variants: STM32F105RB6, AT32F415RCT7,AT32F415CBT7.

A first HxC Firmware compatible with the AT32F415RCT7 MCU can be found in the Artery_AT32_Gotek_HxC_Firmware folder.

These changes imply modifications in the firmware. While the STM32F105 offers 64KB of RAM, these Artery parts have only 32KB of RAM.

These MCUs are “mostly” compatible with the previously used STM part but there is an important difference : The RAM size.

The STMicroelectronics STM32F105 MCU was replaced by Artery MCUs : AT32F415RCT7, AT32F415CBT7,….

Due to the electronic components shortage, these new Gotek revisions use different MCUs.

Since March/April 2021 we can see some new Gotek variants on the market.

Firmware STM32 USB HxCFloppyEmulator v3.6.1.2a for Artery AT32F415RCT7 Goteks ( -> In the “Artery_AT32_Gotek_HxC_Firmware” folder !).

Rotary connections moved to PA13/PA14 (2 pins in the prog header) for the 48 pins MCU version.

Fixes : EPROM emulation support, Index signal.

Now support all Artery versions (AT32F415RCT7, AT32F415CBT7…).

Compatible with all Goteks (Artery and STM MCU compatible).

RAM Memory management enhanced : Detect the RAM size and change/adapt the cache buffers size according to the available memory.

Fix regression with Artery Goteks ! (Crash due to a memory alignment issue).

Future updates of the software are free and can be made from a USB stick The price of the bootloader is one-off 10 Euro per Gotek that you want to update. The bootloader to convert the Gotek floppy drive in HxC compatible must be purchased on the website HXC 2001 by sending an email to Jean-François DEL NERO. This means that the great functionality of the HxC SD emulator is now available on cheaper and more widely available hardware. Jean-François DEL NERO (who’s behind the HxC SD Floppy Emulator) recently has released a version of the HxC emulator firmware that is compatible with the STM32 chip used in the Gotek floppy emulators.
