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 !

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.
