Nice.

Additional tip for the X5000/40 :

Replace ehci.usbhcd with the version from the AmigaOS 4.1FE update2 archive or the mouse and keyboard wont work.

Just forwarded you an email.

Easiest method is to secure an older model graphics card like a RadeonHD 5450 to setup Uboot and install the OS . As well as a fallback for emergencies .

Same graphics card driver issues exists for X5000.
Emergency boot USB solution with newer video card drivers and Enhancer is supposed to be offered by dealers though.

I don't know if there is an official updated X5000 ISO that supports the X5000/40 but with the original X5000 ISO USB keyboards and mice do not work .
So different issues also exits with the AmigaOS 4.1 FE ISO's .

A1222 on paper looks to eventually have better performance than Sam460 for most things also the A1222 may get multicore support.
But both have to have their production runs to exist for new buyers.
This is the last Sam460 production run and the first A1222 run is to be 200 units. What happens after that is unknown .

The X5000/40 is still available.
But after those in stock are gone that may be it for the X5000 models.

So don't procrastinate too long if you are looking for a new PowerPC motherboard.
Or do like some Amigans and get as many different models as you can .

@AmigaOldskooler

Also as the Sam460 ISO only contains the RadeonHD Lite driver an older video card will be needed to install AmigaOS 4.1 unless the
owner can create a updated ISO or unless Acube bundles a special USB Drive drive that includes the A-Eon Enhancer RadeonRX driver.
This would also require the motherboard UBOOT to be configured in advance to boot from USB by default.

Hopefully things will improve with bug fixes.

As you may recall I tested a bug fixed debug version on Sam460ex.
No crashes with Warp3DNova stuff or video decoding.
So those issues resolved for Sam460ex at least.
Some audio issues but will see if they exist when
I get to test a non debug version .
Still no better performance with 1080p videos though.

Also we now have Kas1e equipped to do some hard beta testing
for X1000 .

Run current AmigaOS 4.1 port of Blender with RadeonRX cards .

@Lozspd4

The RX550 has been my main Sam460ex card since early 2020 .
Also using the same model in the X5000.
The 4k video playback capability and low power consumption are what I prefer. RadeonRX driver and Rx card Video playback Stable on both machines .

The RadeonHD 8570 cards I got just for testing the RadeonHD drivers . I was lucky that they work with the Sam460ex .
But at the price I got them at it was worth taking the chance .

@Lozspd4

Ok thanks.
My Sam460ex pciex1 slot seem to be damaged so have to use onboad sound . No problems with the RadeonRX options.

Also using a sound blaster audigy on the X5000 .

@kas1e

What I understand is that
Onboard Sound is working .
Onboard Ethernet is not .

@K-L

Hopefully the Sam460 issues will shed light on where the problems may be .

CPU usage was no more than 17% so something strange is up .

@K-L

Bear in mind that there may be differences in performance and operation (Sam460 no GART) between the 4 different models of AmigaOne NG machines that the drivers work with.

Some bug fixes were done re issues I ran into with a Sam460ex
that solver crashed etc.

Did not observer what I would call a GPU overload as you did with the bug fixed version that I have been testing.
The audio/video sync and audio pop and crackle are the issues for me . I downloaded the BluFlame video with a Windows pc so the actual video specs maybe different.
No problem playing of hard drive. jus sync and crccle and po audio issues .

The general sync and crackle and pop don't happen with the Radeon RX which I have switched back to to verify.

@Lozspd4

Are you using a Sound card or onboard audio ?
I am using the onboard audio.
It is ok with the RadeonRx driver and card but not the RadonHD driver and card.

@Lozspd4

Crashes should be fixed.
So when the next updates is released they should be gone on Sam460 .

A couple of bug report made :

Issue with Screen blanker showed up .

Also popping audio and audio out of sync .

Seeing a pattern on my Sam460ex with the 720p test video .

Out of syncs every 4 10ths of a second and audio pops on the next one after that .

@K-L

It is also possible that the decoding is ok but
there may be issues rendering the data to the display based
on having to click outside of the Emotion Window .

Does not look like booting from USB device is possible on X1000 .

So another option would be to prepare and format a hard drive on another machine with the ffs2 boot partition and amigaboot.of
and copying the contents of the AmigaOS 4.1 Install ISO system drawer to a second SFS/00 bootable partion .

The newer graphics card drivers could then be copied to the kickstart directory of the bootable partition .

Should work ok with Novabridge so should be worth it when and however released.
