Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

Announcing the release of firmware version 6.00.01 for the PicoMite family from Peter Mather (no more betas).

This release combines the old PicoMite/PicoMiteVGA/WebMite versions and manuals into one download with one manual.  The download link is: https://geoffg.net/Downloads/picomite/PicoMite_Firmware.zip

To make it easier for newcomers to the PicoMite world I have retained the three web pages describing the different aspects of the PicoMite firmware but the download link is the same on each page.  These pages are:
 PicoMite: https://geoffg.net/picomite.html
 PicoMite VGA/HDMI: https://geoffg.net/picomitevga.html
 WebMite: https://geoffg.net/webmite.html

This is a major release and is the result of a lot of hard work by Peter.

OK, the download has been updated.
Don't forget to clear your cache if you downloaded the previous file.

The manual is better.
"To generate the DVI/HDMI signal the firmware needs to overclock the RP2350 to as high as 372MHz and most
Raspberry Pi Pico 2 modules will not have any trouble at these speeds."
but it has to be 315000, yes?
option cpuspeed 372000
Error : Invalid Option

As has often been noted, the frequency of the HDMI version correlates with the resolution:
OPTION RESOLUTION 640x480   <==> OPTION CPUSPEED (KHz) 315000
OPTION RESOLUTION 1280x720  <==> OPTION CPUSPEED (KHz) 372000
OPTION RESOLUTION 1024x768  <==> OPTION CPUSPEED (KHz) 324000

Basically, in HDMI mode you have no control over the CPU speed. It's automatic.

not often enough imho

I figured that all by myself from trying to change it :)
the latest no rc version is fine but no difference to previous as far as use for me.

I like the work done to the manual though. always was loads of new stuff to try.
libraries explained. lots more to read.

Mcafee needs to get a life.  As if Peter or I would insert a virus in this.

No problem folks..!!  I didn't mean to point the finger at anyone...  
I just was wondering if anyone else got a hit... Okay... No worries then...  

Edit:  So, I re-ran a scan on just this file and McAfee said nothing found..
      Humm.. So, Is McAfee a POS virus package..?? If so, What IS a good package..??
