TIPI - PEB card
(Pronounced tip-ee)
A File system and network access device for TI-99/4A
TIPI is a device for the TI-99-4A that allows communication between service scripts on a Raspberry PI and the TI-99/4A with DSR support to act as a filesystem, expose TCP and HTTP access through the Raspberry PI, and enable extensible PI services to the TI such as a mouse, or network gaming protocols.
TIPI is currently in limited open beta.
Role of the Raspberry PI
The Raspberry PI is a linux system, that should be up and running before your TI is powered on. Linux systems are not something you should just pull the power on. There is no power switch on a Raspberry PI. You should consider leaving the Raspberry PI always on. If you do need to turn it off, there is a shutdown feature in the web admin interface provided by TIPI. After issuing a shutdown, wait for the PI's sd-card activity light to stay off for 10 seconds, then pull the power.
The TIPI board plugs directly into the Texas Instruments Peripheral Expansion Box. Any other connection is not supported by the developers so if you make your own expansion box or connector, you are on your own!
