Firmware 2.42 is a minor update to the 2.4 version, and is the official firmware for the rosco_m68k Classic v2 board.

This update brings under the hood changes to support the new rosco_m68k keyboard and the new 68030 mainboard edition.

To use keyboard functionality, you must use the new standard libraries supplied with this firmware version. If you are building things from source, you can do make clean install in the code/software/libs directory and the rebuild your code.

Designed to take advantage of the new features of the r2.x mainboard, this firmware now builds for 1MB Flash ROM as standard, and includes built-in support for the XR68C681 DUART (with 115.2kbps communication), SD card and IDE (with MarkM's IDE board) boot, and Xosera video.

This firmware is also backward-compatible with revision 1.x boards (with either 64KB AT28C256 ROMs or the SST Flash ROM adapter). Please ensure you select the correct archive if downloading the ROM images from here - the version (and ROM size for r1 boards) is in the filename. The Flash ROM versions are compatible with the standard software flash utility.

You can find archived ROMs for the various supported board configurations at the bottom of this page.

If you have a 2.x mainboard you can download the rosco_m68k_fw2.42_mainboard_2.x_flash.bin binary below and upload this via Kermit - this combines the updateflash utility with the ROM image, and will update your board to the latest version (thanks to @XarkLabs for this!).

Alternatively, on r2.x boards (and 1.x with HUGEROM) the update can be flashed using the Updateflash utility.
