Welcome to the TiNA Project page.
What is it?
Tina is a new board designed and developed in Italy by a team of Amiga enthusiasts. It aims at recreating and improving the Amiga architecture and technology. A super Amiga with a 68020 more powerful than any existing 68060, ideally, able to execute 2 in-order instructions per clock cycle but at 400-MHz instead of 50MHz; there is a lot of work to do and we need to investigate if the FPGA will allow such feat.
To get a complete implementation of the Amiga 500 and/or Amiga 1200 by the use of powerful fpgas.
Each fpga has its own specific task (following the Amiga tradition), managing sound, video etc...
Independent and programmable fpgas, each with its own resources and one for use as a central processing unit based on the Motorola 68k but with updated clock speeds.
One of the targets is to maintain full backward compatibility (A500) but at the same time offer an improvement over its technology.
This is a first draft for Tina's specifications:
3 x FPGA one per core
256MB-1GB Ram
HDD IDE
FDD controller
PS/2 mouse and keyboard
SDCard slot
Ethernet
HDMI out (or VGA)
AUDIO out
1 x Serial Port
- Extended AGA chipset with chunky pixel up to 32 bit and support for a FullHD (1920x1080) at 60Hz/FPS
- Improved Copper and Blitter, especially the Blitter in order to manipulate up to 32bit colour
- Improved Sprites (still 8) to support chunky-pixel mode up to 32 bit colour, with the possibility of horizontal and vertical flip
- from 256MB to 1GB of memory (all chip-ram) with a theoretic bandwith of 3.2GB/s (roughly 450 times what OCS/ECS machines offered, and 112 times what AGA had available just for the display and sprites), later on there might be the possibility to quadruple it using DDR2 memory (reaching similar Nintendo Wii U values).
- Minimum of 8 audio channels, 16 bit stereo at 48Khz (minimum).
- IDE/ATA controller for legacy hard drives
- SD card slot for firmware, ADF images and HDF to emulate up to 2 hard disks.
- Compatible with AmigaOS3.x
*Specifications and goals might change as the project takes shape
