Title: [SOLVED] USB Keyboard issue with brand new Rev B board
Post by: Jaypee on January 14, 2025, 08:30:46 PM
Hello,
New user here !
I have just received a brand new Rev B board, here's what I've done:
- Connected it to a HDMI monitor
- Attached a Compaq QWERTY keyboard to the USB Host socket
- Set DIP switch 2,3,4 to OFF
- Attached USB C to powered USB Hub.
and here's what I hear and see:
- a few beeps on startup.
- The main menu displays with 1st choice PRODOS highlighted

What I do then:
- Typed the down arrow to navigate through the main menu

But to no joy ! I can't move the cursor on screen.

Questions :
- Did I miss some "Must read first" item ?
- Is it a known trap that all beginners fall into ?

Thank you in advance for your advices !
Jean-Pierre

[edited] PS: Using Right Arrow moves the cursor down ! So everything is in order.. sort of !

You also need a USB drive prepared with "Total Replay":

Refer to chapter default firmware on page 11 of the manual: "https://github.com/OLIMEX/Neo6502/blob/main/DOCUMENTS/Neo6502-user-manual.pdf"

Thank you very much !
I am familiar with this kind of operations on MCUs, it should not be very different to my experience !
