Firmware 2.0

Firmware 2.0 is the official firmware for the rosco_m68k Classic v2 board. Designed to take advantage of the new features of the r2.x mainboard, this firmware now builds for 1MB Flash ROM as standard, and includes built-in support for the XR68C681 DUART (with 115.2kbps communication), SD card and IDE (with MarkM's IDE board) boot, and Xosera video.

This firmware is also backward-compatible with revision 1.x boards (with either 64KB AT28C256 ROMs or the SST Flash ROM adapter). Please ensure you select the correct archive if downloading the ROM images from here - the version (and ROM size for r1 boards) is in the filename. The Flash ROM versions are compatible with the standard software flash utility.
