====== Build procedure for Tiny68K Kit#2 ====== Kit #2 contains a [[:boards:sbc:tiny68k:tiny68k_partial_bd|partially assembled pc board]] where SMT resistors and capacitors are assembled and Altera EPM7128 is assembled and programmed. Included with Kit #2 are also bags of resistors, capacitors, hardware, and active components as shown in the photo below.

Break each 40-pin strip into a 32-pin strip and two 4-pin strips. - Use four 4-pin strips as sockets for U5 and U7. - Install a 4-pin socket for the 8MHz oscillator, U4 - Solder two terminals of T1 with a jumper wire. This is the write protect line for serial EEPROM, U5. Without the jumper U5 is writable. - Install SIP 4.7K ohm resistor packs, R1 & R2. Observe the polarity of the resistor pack: pin 1 of the resistor pack is a square pad on the pc board that should match with pin 1 of the resistor pack (marked with a dot). - Install the 7-segment LED display, D1. The decimal point is nearest to the pcb corner - Install push button for reset, S1. The pc board footprint is slightly too wide, so the legs of the push button need to spread a tiny bit to accommodate the wide footprint. - MCP130 voltage supervisor, U6. Line up the flat side of the package with the flat side of the silk screen. - 2×5 header for Altera programming header, P2 - 2.5mm power jack, J1. The jack fits loosely on the pc board, so position the part in the desired orientation before soldering. - (Optional step) Connect USB blaster to programming header, P2 (the stripe of programming ribbon line up with pin 2 of P2), apply 5V via the 2.5mm power jack (center is +5V, barrel is ground), verify the CPLD is programmed correctly. - Install 2-terminal headers at T18/19, T20/21. This selects which serial EEPROM is the boot flash. - Install two 32-pin socket strips as socket for 68000, U1. - Install 40-pin socket for 68681, U3. - Install SIMM72 socket, P1. Observe the polarity of the SIMM socket: The pin 1 index key of the socket must line up with pin 1 of silkscreen. Refer to the photo below for index key of the socket. - 6-pin header for the console serial port. Two type of headers are included in the kit. One is 6-pin male-to-male wire-wrap strip, the other is 6-pin male-to-female wire-wrap strip. Select the header best fit your setup. - Install a 24C256 in U5 and install a shorting block between T18/19. This is the default boot flash. The second boot flash in U7 is optional. - Install 44-pin IDE-CF module, keep the module at the same level (another word, in the same plane) as the board before soldering.
