PiStormBoot
===========

A setup menu for PiStorm and PiStorm32-lite accelerators running
Emu68. It is available while the Amiga starts, before AmigaOS loads
anything from disk: hold the right mouse button during boot.

 - Emu68 JIT settings, applied at once and again at every boot
 - almost all Emu68 options from cmdline.txt as gadgets
 - Raspberry Pi settings from config.txt: Kickstart ROM, FPGA
   firmware, Emu68 kernel, ARM clock, HDMI mode and more
 - a FAST RAM limit, text editors and backup slots for both files
 - system information: Emu68 version, clocks, temperature
 - a button for Kickstart's own Early Startup Menu
 - hotkeys for everything, so it works without a mouse
 - adapts to Emu68 0.x, 1.0 and 1.1

Tested on an A1200 with a PiStorm32-lite and a Raspberry Pi 4. The
classic PiStorm (Pi 3) is supported but not tested yet.
Needs Kickstart 3.0 or later; developed on Kickstart 3.2.3.


Installation
------------

Copy "PiStormBoot" to DEVS: and add this line at the very top of
S:Startup-Sequence:

    C:LoadModule DEVS:PiStormBoot

Then reboot with the right mouse button held. Holding the left mouse
button at boot skips PiStormBoot completely.

To save changes, Emu68's card driver must be allowed to write to the
SD card, and the backup page needs its slot files on the card. Both
are explained in PiStormBoot.guide, together with everything else.

PSBShot, a separate archive on Aminet, adds screenshots of the menu
and a dark mode.


Disclaimer
----------

This software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind. You
use it entirely at your own risk. The author cannot be held
responsible for any loss of data or damage to software or hardware.

PiStormBoot writes to the boot partition of the Raspberry Pi's SD
card and changes settings of Emu68 and the Raspberry Pi firmware,
including CPU clock and voltage. Wrong settings can stop the Pi from
booting, and overclocking or over-voltage can damage hardware. Keep
backup copies of config.txt and cmdline.txt on another computer.

PiStormBoot is by Andreas Winkler, 2026, and is freeware. It may be
copied and distributed freely as long as the archive stays complete
and unchanged and no money is charged for it beyond the cost of the
medium.

Emu68 is by Michal Schulz. Thanks to the Emu68 and PiStorm developers.
