List of Boot Sector Gamers

Boot Sector Games

A list of playable boot sector games, most of which are on github. Fun to play, great to learn from. There are also many cool non-booting boot sectors out there that aren't games (so more like demos), but this page is just reserved to interactive boot sectors / games. This list is also not complete, but not on purpose, it is a best effort collection of games, so if you know of any fun boot sector games, please contribute.

This page lists a collection of 31 games spanning several authors: nanochess, me, daniel-e, shikhin, JulianSlzr, XanClic, QiZD90, darkvoxels, guyhill, w-shackleton, egtzori, VileR, ish_works, franeklubi, queso_fuego, franeklubi, Jethro82, waternine9, tevoran, palma3k, taylor-hartman. peterferrie should also be mentioned as he has touched a lot of these games.

FT2232 to Digilent JTag for Xilinx FPGAs (ISE/Vivado)

The Digilent JTag uses FT2232, but its configuration EEPROM contains secrete data needed to be recoginzed by Xilinx ISE/Vivado. The following method only works on linux (tested on Ubuntu16.04), but the patched FT2232 doggle also works on Windows. Since WSL1 does not provide USB device access, the following method will not work for WSL1.

DONT use FT_Prog on offical Digilent cable, as it can trash the firmware! The offical eeprom contains secrete data that cannot be handled correctly by FT_Prog.

Here are steps to create a Digilent-like Jtag that can be used in Xilinx ISE and Vivado

  1. Install softwares: sudo apt-get install libftdi1 ftdi-eeprom
  2. Create a file "flash_digilent.conf" with the following content:
