A600 RGB2HDMI & PiStorm

maddoc666 · 13 February 2022, 21:31

Hi All,

I'm in the middle of giving a new lease of life to a dead A600 purchased from fleabay and was wondering if anyone could possibly answer a question for me?

I was wondering if it would be possible to have both RGB2HDMI and PiStorm using the same Raspberry Pi on the A600? (Zero 2 or 3A+)

I'm aware that PiStorm has some issues running on the A600 at the moment but it still seems like a worthwhile upgrade while I'm in the guts of it. I would also like the option to have HDMI out without PiStorm as i believe games etc. will run natively with this.

Already have my eyes on a PLCC to DIP converter for the PiStorm, I'm just not sure if i can run both PiStorm and RGB2HDMI from the same Pi. Has any one else already done this and maybe have pics of the install?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

I don`t think this`ll work.. Both PIs have different software on them. I have a A1000 with rgb2hdmi and a pistorm running..

If you can get your hands on an RGB2HDMI that uses the PI camera interface (CSI) instead of GPIO, this should be possible, and might even be usable simultaneously...

RGB2HDMI runs on the Pi using bare metal software with effectively no operating system. This won't work unfortunately.
