====== Tiny68K, 68000 SBC, Rev 2 ======

This page only contains updated information specific to rev 2 pc board. For general description of Tiny68K, please refer to [[boards:sbc:tiny68k|this page]].

===== Introduction =====

Tiny68K is a high-performance yet low-cost single board computer based on the Motorola 68000. Revision 2 of Tiny68K has the following changes:

The Compact Flash interface of rev 1 is marginal. It may not work with faster CF drives due to ground noises generated by faster CF drives. Rev 2 design added isolation resistors to the data line, RC circuitry to the nIORD control line, and pull up resistors to the upper half of the 16-bit data line

A 'warm boot' button is added that will generate a non-maskable interrupt to the 68000 when pressed.

Add a real-time clock based on DS1302 that is backed up with a super capacitor.

Figure below shows an assembled rev 2 Tiny68K with annotations showing the changes from rev1 design.

Part list

Altera EPM7128 [[https://retrobrewcomputers.org/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=boards:sbc:tiny68k:tiny68k_rev2:rtc_en_0_wait.zip|design files]]. Designs are created in Quartus 8.1, should be compatible with later version of Quartus. Designs are entirely in schematics.
