On this page, you can have a look on some of my hardware-projects.

It is often not possible for me to put a more detailed description of every project in here, because of the complexity and the lack of time I have. If you are interested in getting more information on a special project, you can send an eMail to me.

	BDMDebug V1.00 released This is a powerful Windows based (sorry for this!!!) BDM Debug Tool for Motorola ColdFire CPUs. If you're a developer of hardware designs using this type of CPU, this tool is a "must-have"... :)	2000-03-14
	Now I can program my ppQBox in C!! My brother Christian succeeded in making a GNU C ColdFire cross compiler for my SUN. But this is only the halve thing. The output' ELF-file is not a directly runnable executable file. The platform using it needs a loader for it. After about 2 days of searching for ELF-manuals, analyzing the output and programming the loader I'm now happy to tell you, that I now have no problems to run C-programs on my ppQBox. Now it should be much more easy to go on with developing the QOS... my own Operating System for the (pp)Qbox... :) After finishing the network-hardware and adding a small speaker to the board (for some noisy output... :) ), I'm now working on the network software between my Amiga and the ppQBox. It's development state is about 75%, I think. I already have packet transmission between both computers and looking forward to finish the whole thing in some days.	2000-02-29
	BDMDebug finished This my ColdFire BDM-Debug interface control program. I had to program it for Wind*ws because I get the needed DLL-file for controlling the interface only there. I'm sure I will make later an Amiga-port of this. I will release this tool it in the next days. More about it you find here.	2000-02-29
	Amiga AutoConfig(TM) Card On request, I have added an image with infos about my autoconfig card prototype.	1999-12-05
	The ppQBox mainboard!! Jippieh!! :) 3 weeks after creating the CPU-board, I successfully finished the mainboard for my ColdFire computer! The Board has a lot of interesting features: 256kB buffered (GoldCap) high-speed SRAM, 1-64MB PS/2 DRAM, network interface for data exchanges between my Amiga and the ppQBox, programmed GAL's for some IO, two proprietary expansion slots for additional hardware (HardDisk, Sound, IO, GFX, PCI-Slots). More photos/infos...	1999-03-21
	Fantastic ColdFire results: The first working CPU-board! This picture is a photo of the soldered and finished board! You can read a detailed description of the development process of it here.	1999-02-24
