Ciao,
I have two questions:
- my version of Uboot doesn't have the menu for MorphOS, so does anyone know how to write a menu for Uboot?
- it is possible to have a detailed manual of Uboot for X5000 in order to better manage the computer.
Finally a small complaint because I am disappointed by the support, and a word of hope that this bad moment will pass as quickly as possible!
Good luck to all!

Re: Uboot manual
There are not many MorphOS experts on this forum. For MorphOS support, you would be better off asking somewhere else.
U-Boot has a "help" command which will give you some clues. It's a Unix thing, so is incomprehensible to me. Maybe someone else can direct you to some readable docs.

Re: Uboot manual
It looks like you should update your version of uboot. The latest versions of uboot on X5000 has the MorphOS menu installed and enabled. I would contact A-EON for the latest version including installation instructions. The only thing the menu item does is scan your drives for a boot.img that loads MorphOS but it is not something you can do your self.Fogg_80 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 09, 2020 5:04 pm Ciao,

Updating uboot will also give you a lot of bugfixes and new features so you should do it anyhow. Takes only a minute or two.
I am running MorphOS on my X5000. Runs very well - if you install it on a separate HD. But you should be aware that it only supports rather old GFX cards. The best is a Radeon 1950 pro - as far as I can see.
Good luck!
X5000
Re: Uboot manual
I thank everyone for the answers, but they confirm the fact that the support for our machines is, I would say, non-existent! I don't think there are many who have purchased an X5000, so it seems easy to notify or send a simple email with the due updates, in this case U-Boot. I don't like to be controversial and I don't want to seem it, I just want to suggest the necessary improvements to user support, for example a single and simple download area where registered users can access free updates. Or, since I have always had problems buying on amistore due to Odyssey, foresee the possibility of purchasing also through other platforms (win, mac, linux).
I hope I haven't been boring, my aim is simply to improve support for us poor users (X1000 docet, true JohnFante !?) and I think the more we have information, the more we can also help the development of our beloved system.
One last question, can you tell me if the version of U-boot for X5020 is the same or different from that for X5040?
Good day everyone and thanks again for the answers.

Re: Uboot manual
Thanks for reply,
I'm a little surprised because the mainboard is the same, only the cpu changes. Obviously I am ignorant on the subject, I am still amazed.

Re: Uboot manual
The CPUs are very different and the memory map is different, so, as a result, the initialisation functions in U-Boot are different.

OK thanks. I keep learning the necessary things about Uboot.
Re: Uboot manual
Hello,
If it is possible i can send you a copy of my Uboot ? I have a X5000 under Morphos only (5020).
I just need the way of working for copying the uboot. Maybe i can mount the sd card under morphos ?
and it is a good thing because i have no backup of the card and it is recommended
Regards

Thank you, but I think it's copyrighted
I will try to write to Amigakit as Skateman did hoping that they answer me, they always have biblical times.
You are happy with MorphOS on X5000?
