I’ve made a couple minor changes to the MINC pages over the last couple days – adding a few more details, crossing some Ts and dotting a couple I. And also, I added the complete sources including all the MINC stuff to the download page. Why now? well, because it now passes the original MNC11 chain of tests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Still, with the previous posts about building a disk image, and especially if you happen to have a DE0-Nano or DE10-Lite around somewhere…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Oh – shame on those DEC engineers. An apostrophe does not make plural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And before I forget – there’s also a fix in this release for an issue with Quartus 20 – that causes it not to infer a buffer in the disk controllers, and thus to use a massive amount of logic instead of a single chunck of RAM. So definitely get this version if you want to build for yourself and you’re on the latest and greatest version. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
