Neded U-Boot 1.1.4 or 1.2.0 AmigaOne XE

Post by sailorMH »

Please, can somebody share with me unofficial U-Boot versions 1.1.4 and 1.2.0 for AmigaOne XE?

I have last official 1.1.1, but PCI initialization in this firmware is far from ideal. I need it for more special PCIe graphics card testing.
BTW, I have U-Boot 1.2.0 physically in my Micro A1-C. Please is there some software tool for U-Boot extraction?

P.S. I succsseed to get working Radeon PCIe HD77xx cards on AmigaOne XE !

What advantages are there with Uboot 1.2.0, and where you can find, it is recommended to update my XE or it is of little use.

No big advantages. All of them beta, so have bugs. I recommend stay with 1.1.1.

U-Boot 1.2.0 has command line history and inline editing, it helps. But I have sometimes problems to boot with 1.2.0 on XE.
My Micro A1-C comes with U-Boot 1.2.0 and here works fine.

U-Boots 1.1.6 and 1.2.0 properly initialize interrupts behind the PCI-PCI bridges. Former not, but it can be fixed manually. See https://www.amigaportal.cz/node/13 - in article 10 is U-Boot differences, in article 7 is how to fix interrupts manually. And over there is theory how it works. It is in Czech language, so you need google.

Generally - if you don't have modern PCIe gfx card HD7xxx or combo card ( for example one PCI card with both USB+firewire controllers ) you not need beta U-Boot.

No, really not. All you need is last official firmware from Hyperion https://hyperion-entertainment.com/inde ... &parent=28.
