@gurus2000

for you it should be setenv sii3114ide_conf 1022

Then to save it to nvram
saveenv

The bootable DVD should be connected to J23

@gurus2000

Sounds like order of the hard drive and CD drive may be reversed in your setup . I recall this problem has happened to a few people who reformatted their boot partition.

You can specify the drive type in Uboot using
setenv sii3114ide_conf=1002.


The "1002" code means:

1: HDD connected to port 0
0: nothing on port 1
0: nothing on port 2
2: a CD-ROM drive on port 3

This would have to b e supported by the RadeonHD driver first. If you just nned to make sure your cooler is working ok and not constantly monitor it then Linux is your friend for now .

Linux,Debian Jessie,has a sensor viewer that shows the temperature of a Radeon graphics card on Sams. dont think that there is anything under AmigaOS 4.x . I am getting between 34C and 38C with a Radeon HD6670 .

Edit;
There is also a tool called psensor that works under Lubuntu .

@tommysammy

Thank you.
This would project the Sam460 at around 583s for the Big_Buck_Bunny decode.
So maybe 720p playback will be possible.
We await an actual Sam460 benchmark to see.

@SinanSam460

Try the mplayer benchmark your sam460

http://download.blender.org/peach/big ... uck_bunny_720p_stereo.avi


mplayer -benchmark -nosound -ao null -vo null -lavdopts skiploopfilter=none big_buck_bunny_720p_stereo.avi


I think that the results would have to be 596s for realtime cpu decode . (18.20% of an AMD FX 4300 quad core 2.8GHZ =108.4732s)

Using the benchmark figures for the Prometheus 1080p clip that I have of 23.778 and 399.791, the Sam460 may take up to 1825s to complete the big_buck_bunny benchmark though.

@AmigaSociety

These should be the supported series from my understanding of the published compatibility.

now we can compare to this.
Benchmarking your AROS machine with MPlayer

@Severin

Thanks.
I think that it is always good to post benchmarks as it allows you to see improvements over time.

@Severin

Could your do the benchmark with the favorite cross platform video please .

@ChrisH

what about checking the uboot version and whether the pci update patch was ever applied.

@Mikey_C

No so hard. Finding one that is supported is.
I got one of these but it did not work.
Did report my findings to Acube.
Would be a good option to support

@rebraist

I use Turbocalc a lot.
Turboprint is also very useful.
