Quote from: bmwcyclist on Yesterday at 04:31:12 PMthere is no LOS FTP client?

Correct, there is none (for now at least).

LisaTerminal is the only transfer option that comes to mind.

edit: and IIRC, Stepleton captured some LOS print output recently, and massaged it into text and graphics for a modern system.

Aside: How many of you would prefer a post like this be moved to its own topic, or do you not care if subject titles are less specific?

I have been unsucessful in getting my LISA FPGA to boot into LOS.

I have used a copy that works on my 2/10 "

Any suggestions?

I have used a copy that works on my 2/10 as well as the GitHub "LOS Compilation Base.image"

Any suggestions?



What brand/model of SD card are you using? Alex mentioned some don't work

Several models all high speed.

Interestingly, I just got it to boot off of LOS 2.0!

Tim, have you tried downloading and using the LOS 3.1 disk image that I attached to this post?

Quote from: ried on July 18, 2026, 08:03:03 PMSince the pre-existing LOS 3.1 disk images didn't work for me - even those labeled "fresh install" - I went ahead and created a 10MB disk image and installed LOS 3.1 with all of the 7/7 apps. These should work for everyone if the LisaFPGA uses the same Video State ROM on all LisaFPGA builds. Cheers.

No, I missed that. Thank you. I'll give it a try tomorrow!

That's probably why! Either use an LOS image that was made on a 2/5, or install a jumper wire between GPIO0 and 3V3 on the board to trick it into thinking that it's a 2/10.

Thanks! I love this thing, I am learning quite a bit I never knew about LISA and the LOS!

ried's build works great! Thanks!

Still not getting the LOS Compilation Base.image to work even with the sm fcc180 00ff 0055 00aa PRAM reset.

Going to try the jumper next...

Compilation image DOES work once 2/10 jumper is installed on the FPGA!  ;D
