Re: NVMe device driver

@geennaam
Thank you for clarifying the subject!
Further questions came to my mind, concerning partitions:
What happens when you copy a partition to a new location (with dd, RAWdisk, Gparted etc.) on a SSD? I suppose no 'garbage' is transfered to the new partition?
And when you delete a whole partition, what happens to the 'garbage' left after that operation? TRIM does not help anymore as there is no partition to work with. Is there some difference whether you use Mediatoolbox in AmigaOS or Gparted in Linux?

@geennaam
I have a couple of questions:
1. Is there ANY speed advantege when using the most expensive NVMe SSDs, compared to the very chepest ones? Or are the bottlenecks of our system non-proportional and so severe, that even the cheapest ones can offer the maximal speed possible?
2. Samsung mentions in the specs of SSDs a feature named 'auto garbage collection', whereas e.g. A-Data and and WD do not. Is this feature of any help in our system without Trim support, or is it meaningless and not a reason to choose especially Samsung?

@sailor Quote: I agree there is no real need for more than one NVME. From my side it is only pure interest what is possible. To have one in Amiga is really great thing! I have always admired your pioneering spirit, and tecnical knowledge which make it possible for you to search new solutions. The same is true for Geenam, of course! Please keep us informed what you find out of these NVMe drives and adapters!-)

@geennaam Quote: Interesting. I've read that the SAM460 was capable of booting Linux and Amigaos4 from microSD. But I didn't know that the X5000 was capable of doing to same for at least Linux. Would be nice if it can also boot the Amigaos4 kernel with modules from microSD. Here is the recipe how to dot it: https://forum.hyperion-entertainment.c ... wtopic.php?p=41033#p41033AmigaOS kernel developers have said it should be possible to load also Kickstart from BootSD. I hope your new driver will motivate them to make the needed changes in U-Boot  .

@geennaamQuote: It is not possible to boot from NVMe at the moment, so the dual NVMe use case for amigaos and Linux is unclear to me. Christian Zigotzky (the maintainer of Amiga Linux kernels) has announced he will integrate the NVMe drivers into his kernels next week. After that, you will be able to boot Linux from NVMe units, by loading first the kernel from x5000's bootSD. I use currently the same trick for booting Linux from a 6G SSD disk connected to a Sata3 controller board.

>Don't use the adapter cards with multiple M.2 slots because they will not work.
Is this limitation absolute, or is it possible to make some workaround later? I was thinking about the possibility to use one slot for AmigaOS, and another for Linux, without needing to occupy two pcie slots.

Re: WB boot hangups - a solution

@PlexusQuote: Have this hangups before but goes away when change to internal ethernet onboard card on my X5000..
I take out my pci ethernet card from.pci slot too... So only use internal ethnet. I tested that some times earlier, too, but it did not solve the problem in my machine. And I anyway need a nic as Linux has initiation problems with the X5000 onboard ethernet - no one has been able to fix that issue though it has been present several years! But delaying the execution of 'AddNetInterface' command with 3 secs in Network-Startup has so far worked for me. No hangups during a week...

I'm afraid I made a conclusion too hastily... The boot hangup problem reappeared after few days! So, either there are several sources for that issue in my machine, or just something totally independent of X-Dock.
Now I'm testing with a delay at the beginning of Network-startup... So far zero hangups, but I have now to follow the situation during a longer period.

@trixie Quote: I used to have a slightly different WB boot problem. More often than not, my X5000 would boot into an empty grey screen with an empty screenbar.
I removed X-Dock from WBstartup but the problem persisted. In the end it turned out that, over time, I had installed a few AHI drivers for cards I don't use, and one of these seems to have been causing the hang-up. Since I removed all unnecessary drivers from DEVS:AHI and DEVS:AudioModes, I've never had such a problem. Yes, I remember having some years ago problems with unnecessary AudioModes, too! Since then I have kept installed only those which I really need.

WB boot hangups - a solution
|
|
Just popping in

My X5000 has shown random WB hangups while booting, resulting in half-loaded, grey WB screen with just a couple of icons. The culprit was obviously X-Dock, if loaded via WBstartup.
The solution was to disable X-Dock in WBstartup prefs, and run it directly from startup-sequence, after WB has been loaded. The end of my startup-sequence looks now this:
...
Wait 1 sec
Run >NIL: *>NIL: Sys:Utilities/X-Dock/X-Dock
EndCLI >NIL:
The 1 sec delay is there to secure that WB is surely loaded to the very end, so that loading of X-Dock cannot anymore disturb the process. This works in X5040, but a slightly longer delay might be needed for slower machines.

@amiganutsQuote: amiganuts wrote:Lets try this another way. Has anyone successfully added a backlit keyboard to their X5000? If so, what brand and model? I can just return this one I bought and get a compatible one. I was thinking of trying a Logitech or Apple. According to the compatibility list, these USBs work but it does not mention backlit. I have used a backlit Ducky One with my X5000 several years. It works ok, but I had to change one of the dip switches as the default setting caused problems with U-Boot.

@Reynolds Quote: Sorry for being lame but what is this? I have no clue... It's a text adventure. I prefer nowadays this game type as the adventure happens only in my own mind, in my imagination, not on the screen. The player is not restricted anyhow by the graphics created by the author, in cotntrast to graphical games. Hibernated is a little bit complicated as a starting point to this genre, e.g. Davide Bucci's games are somewhat easier for a newcomer ( http://davbucci.chez-alice.fr/index.p ... ueen.inc&language=English). He has created masterly the atmosphere of the epoque used in his games!

Hibernated 1 (help needed)

I have been stuck in Hibernated 1 (revised version) almost a year now... So, I think there is no other choise than ask for help!-) First I advanced in it very steadily, and has already achieved these: - Free access to all rooms of the foreign spaceship, and Olivia has become the commander of it - IO has been integrated into the bridge of the the foreign ship - Olivia has met the old navigator and got from him a 'silver disc', which I suppose contains a map that is needed for navigating the ship to it's home planet But I have not been able to to find out how and where to use that 'silver disk'! I have tried to pose it on all possible (and impossible) locations but has not found the solution. IO does not have anything to say, no help from there either... So, could someone please guide me a step forward...? No need for long recipes, just a small hint how or where to use that mysterious 'disc'  .

@ktadd Quote: Not all modes will work. Here is what I did. From the GUI use the Audio Mode button and try selecting vaious selections from the list that appears until you find one that works. Note that if you select one that doesn't work all the gadgets will be ghosted and you will need to restart the program. On my system non of the 16bit selections would work. I had to choose a 32bit one. It depends on the sound card you are using. Once you find a mode that works then convert it's Hex value to decimal and you should be able to use it in the tooltype setting. Note that once you set if from the tooltype you can no longer change it from the GUI because the Audio Mode button gets ghosted. Hopefully this will help you out. Thanks for your answer... In my case, even those modes which work with AHIRecord, cannot be preselected by using the MODE tooltype. But I also noticed that the mode selected in AmigaOS sound prefs is used as a default in AHIRecord. Unfortunately that does not work with the INPUT - AHIRecord seems to use always 'mixer' as default. Is the author of this program still in business...?

@ktadd @jabirulo
I got this result from a converter:
0x001E0004 -> 1966084
But MODE=1966084 tooltype has no effect. I also used INPUT=3, which should match 'MIc' which is third on the list but no effect. either.
Any idea what I do wrong...?

I cannot find from the readme file of AHIRecord, how to set the default 'MODE' and "INPUT" port of a sound card (SoundBlaster Live!). There are the respective tooltypes in the program icon, but I cannot see any info what value should be used to get a certain mode or a port. I have tested different integers but the defaulf 'Input' is always 'mixer' when the program is started. I would like to change it to 'mic'

@LyleHaze Quote: There are many possibilities, I can only guess which one(s) might apply. How about the cable...? I used a simple 3.5/3.5mm (m/m) one without any 'disturbance removers'. Should it have those? Quote: The input you used was either microphone or line input, either of these can be overloaded by a headphone connection. I suggest trying lower volume levels on the source device. A "best possible" solution would be to use line level outputs to the blue connector. It would be SO MUCH EASIER if we had proper "VU Meters" for AHI inputs and outputs. (note, we DO have proper VU meters for X1000 and A1222 builtin audio. I've used them extensively for about a year now. They just haven't been distributed yet) I tested only the line input, not the microphone one. What is the difference between these two...? Quote: The method itself is solid. The noise is either a level problem (most likely) or a poor connection, or possibly a noisy source. The "device level" software is doing a simple copy, it's not adding or subtracting any noise. Ok, that's good to know. The instrument I have uses a preamplifier ("Control box") which has three different outputs: headphone, unbalanced and balanced output jack ( https://uk.yamaha.com/files/download/o ... 9/SV250_WT66620_R1_en.pdf). But I do not have suitable cables to test any of them - even the one I used with radio is far too short for this purpose. As I am not at all familiar with electrical instruments, I have not yet figured out what type of cables should be used, and which of these options would work best.

@LyleHazeQuote: To record directly from a sound card input:
Copy AUDIO:SECONDS/10/TYPE/AIFC/B/16/F/44100/C/2 sample.aifc I tested this now, using simply a radio (with headphone connector) as a source. It worked but the sound quality of the sample was very poor... ("rough" ) Is there anything to do to improve the quality, or is this a limitation of the method itself?
