I've been having trouble getting the PiStorm to run stably in my STE, my primary development platform. Is it a problem with my PiStorm boards, or perhaps (and more likely?) with my STE?
Well the only way to take that out of the equation is to try it with my STFM. But after my CPU socket fitting (see previous videos), it's been unstable. Sometimes running absolutely fine for hours, but then I may move it and it doesn't boot!
Time to sort that out once and for all. Or at least I hope so...
Fixing my crashing STFM.

Introducing the B-Roll series.
Ive not a lot of time of late to work on any projects and to produce videos, so to keep in touch Ive started a new series of non-narrative videos that Im going to call B-Roll.
This is the sort of thing larger channels would have a second channel for. Less edited, less produced, probably no conclusion. More behind-the-scenes, stream of conciousness type output to show what Im working on and how without necessarily telling a story.
Feel free to go big on the thumbs down if this is not something you want more of, else expect more of these than main videos for the time being.

Today Im trying to work out whats wrong with my DSTB1. Im working on a new SDRAM driver in the firmware and getting nowhere. I then realise my booster seems to be unpredictably unreliable in release configuration having worked beautifully in the past.
What gives?
