X5000 U-Boot updates - still not publicly available?
|
|
Just popping in
|
I remember that already 2 years ago on AmiWest A-eon told thet the U-Boot updates for X5000 wuold be made more easily available for end users.
But AFAIK that has not happened... They are not available via Updater/Amistore. Also, when I last time asked from my dealer (Amedia), they did not have anything to offer.
WHY? Trevor, can you please explain?!

Now about trying to catch the switch-off issue... Do you have to have the continuous 'printing' on? Or does the MCU send out the error message anyway?

The connection itself seems to work as there is no error message if I run "sudo screen /dev/ttyUSB0 38400" on terminal . There appears just a white blinking rectangular (prompt?) but trying to input and run commands like 'help' or 'v' does not show anything on the window. Trying to use 'ttyUSB1' which you had in your example gives just an error: non existent. I tested also with 'Cutecom' but no output from the MCU, either. Connection itself seems to be ok. Any idea what is wrong...? Is there some jumper on the motherboard which should be opened/closed so that the debug connector would work?

@LyleHazeQuote: LyleHaze wrote: using a software method can't do that, but it can let you monitor gradual changes before the fatal ending. and it has the advantage of being free, requires no additional computer or cable.. you can have it right now. That's true... When I have followed the voltages with MCUinfo, the values have been very stable. There are only four values in which there is a constant 10mv 'flip-flop': Voltages (mV) CPLD: 3320 XenaXorro A: 3300...3310 XenaXorro B: 1010 PCIe: 1000mv Main 3.3V: 3350...3360 Main 2.5V: 2490...2500 Ethernet: 1200...1210 Platform: 1030 Core A: 1200 Core B: 1190 DDR3: 1490 Serdes: 1820 But the base level has not changed. Quote: And you asked about replacing parts.. low voltages can be caused by the supply (regulator) or by excessive load. chips that draw too much power get noticeably warm.. but history puts the odds on a flakey regulator, which may not get warm at all. These shutdowns has appeared totally randomly, both after the computer has been on for a long time, and just for a few minutes. That suggests there is no temperature issue, at least. Also, I have had both AmigaOS and Linux running when the issue appears, so the OS does not seem to affect it directly.

Anyone sending an email to "lylehaze at gmail" can have it as soon as I reply to your mail. Just ask for "MCU"
!! NOTE There's already tools to do this on the Depot. Just search "MCU" !! Yup, I'm losing my mind. Thanks... But I'am already using 'MCUinfo.docky', which shows the same info. But as the shutdown happens suddenly, you do not have time to see which the voltages has dropped! So I think the MCU cable is the only way to record that info...?

My X5000/20 has had this problem over the years, and it just started getting worse and worse. Thanks for your answer, Bill! I will check that cable you gave the link for... But is there any way to fix that kind of problem? It is ironical that Xorro is not used anyhow by most users... Could you just 'eliminate' some component's related to Xorro, to get rid of that issue?

My X5000/40 has started to switch itself off every now and then. Within a year there has been at least 7 cases. The standby leds (green and red) stay on and the MCU Error led is blinking when this happens.
What is causing this issue? Can it be fixed somehow?
I have a top-quality PSU, and have checked the power cabling. CPU is not overheated, the temperature stays under 65°C.

@redfoxQuote: My main issue now is when I launch MultiView from my AmiDock, I sometimes get a DSI error.
And YES ... I use MultiView not MultiViewer. Do these DSIs appear when you start Multiview itself, or only after you try to open some file from it?

@jabiruloQuote: what filesystem is Odyssey? SFS. Quote: maybe some of Conf/... files Odyssey saves are garbled. If that is the case, why do these freezes happen randomly?

@MaijestroQuote: At the moment I am using Odyssey version 1.23, I am using all the relevant Amiga sites and have also added the latest scripts available for Odyssey, even my email account (Emailn) can be used with Odyssey without any problems. I also use YouTube often via Yt.rexx and aiostreams amiga project. I have never had any problems like you described. Which machine are you using?

@sailorQuote: sailor wrote:@Gregor in what circumstances the erros occur? I am using the latest version form os4depot: Odyssey 1.23 r5 ( thx @kas1e ). Me too... The freezes happen when I try to load some trivial page, e.g. the usual Amiga fora like Amigans.net. The page is loaded for a short time, then it suddenly stops and the whole system is freezed. Cannot even start a cli window anymore... Mouse pointer is still moving but clicking the buttons do not have any effect on anything. Power or reset button is the only way out (ctrl-A-A or ctrl-alt-alt are not responding anymore). Quote: I have no freezes after long use, tested on multiple AOS4 machines. I have no special settings and I am not using youtube.js or any other custom script. I have a X5000. I do not use youtube via Odyssey, either. I'm not sure about the settings, but if I do a fresh reinstallation and copy the settings file from the earlier installation, Odyssey do not show this freezings for at least a few weeks. So my settings cannot be the direct cause of the issue... I use also Linux regularly ( and MOS occasionally), but have not seen anynything similar with them. So I doubt the cause could be a defective network connection.

Bug-fix updates for Odyssey?

Is there anyone developing Odyssey anymore? At least the bug which causes Odyssey, after 1-2 month's use after installation, to freeze when loading pages should be fixed! Having to continuously reisnstall Odyssey is not a decent solution.
At least there should be a script (or a program) which would clean-up automatically possible mess (corrupted files etc.?) created by the program...

@joergQuote: I don't know if you can disable auto-booting the default completely, but if you use something like
setenv amigabootmenu_timeout 30 saveenv
you have enough time to change it to another boot option. Thanks for the tip... But changing the timeout did not open automatically the boot menu. It only delayed booting, just like adding animcycles. So, this is not the solution I am looking for...

Opening the 1st bootmenu automatically (X5000)

How can I set AmigaOne X5000 to open _automatically_ (without pressing a key) the first bootmenu? There must be a U-Boot variable for that, but which is it?
I use currently AmigaOS, Linux and MOS so randomly that it is impractical to have one default boot OS, and to have to reach the bootmenu via a keyboard key (which I usually forget to press at time, and have to reboot ;).

Re: Picture viewers

@jabirulo
Thanks, that was a good piece of advice! The culprit was 'WarpWebP.datatype' V. 45.5. I got it from OS4Depot, and it is quite fresh.
Edit: Also the 'WarpJPG datatype' which Eliyahu recommended makes Multiviewer to crash.

@eliyahu
Thanks for the tips! Warpview works nicely, but with WarpJPG datatype also Multiview seems to work with all jpg files.
The only issue left is why Multiviewer does not start at all,,, I remember it worked still a couple of years ealier. There must be some system update which has unstabilized it. But as I have not used Multivewer for a long time, I cannot say when this problem appeared.

Are there any reliable picture viewers for Amiga OS41? I cannot use Multiview as it crashes with many jpg pictures created with ImageFX (even with small ones), and currently Multiviewer cannot be opened at all in my X5000 (crashes immediately with GR 80000003, both from icon and cli).

One tip for PageStream users... If the 'Pagestream4.prefs' file gets corrupted (that happens usually once-a-year for me), Pagestream will freeze or guru when launched. That may happen even if you have not yourself edited and saved the prefs lately.
The cure is to delete that file, or replace it with a copy from a backup disk.
