Hi everybody!
I am new to this forum, and as I am a french student, I do not speak (hem, write...) very well English. If you see I post with English language related errors, I would like you correct me please.
As I am new to this forum, if I started to post in a wrong way, you can correct me too, then I will know where to post correctly.
As I said it, I am student, so I study industrial electronics and informatics. Of course, I am interested in PS2/PStwo technical hardware docs. I know that the EE is nearly as the Toshiba TX79, so I downloaded the TX79's technical datasheet. I read on the web that this processor is MIPS architecture compliant, and accordling to the datasheet, it uses RISC instruction set. I read it has a ( or an ? ) Serial In/Out (SIO) port, and it is not used by PS2/two hardware (not connected), as the JTAG port, which is used for hardware debugging and tests.
My goal is to explore these functionnalities to offer hardware debugging support to the real PS2/two, perhaps it could help in PCSX2/homebrew/demos development.
I usually code in assembler language using fasm, tasm, nasm, for Intel x86 architectures.
I use (legal) Visual Studio 2008 Professionnal, and I usually write code using C, C sharp, and (new for me), C++, and my code uses dot Net from Microsoft. So I could code Windows services and programs, if you need help in PCSX2 development.
I use Code Essentials from Texas Instrument to program MSP430 devices(via JTAG) using assembler or C languages, in case of need...
I need PCSX2 community help to develop my hardware debugger, if you have some PS2/two processor's datasheet and pinout it should help me in a very good way.
Thank you by advance !
