You are currently using PIO mode 4:Quote:
Xfer mode : best pio 12 (PIO 4, 16 MB/s) / best dma 69 (UDMA 5, 100 MB/s) / current 12 (PIO 4, 16 MB/s)

assume that in the last section it is "DMA : yes" ?
That's just what the (emulated) drive supports, not what's currently used by the driver.

To use a Kickstart/nvram.config file, instead of the AmigaOne NVRAM which is not yet supported by QEmu, you'd have to replace the AmigaOne Kickstart/nonvolatile.library.kmod with a version from a classic Amiga or Pegasos2 version of AmigaOS 4.x.

Ok, I replaced the nonvolatile.library.kmod with the Pegasos2 version and nvram.config is in the Kickstart folder but PIO mode 4 is still used.

Can I also tell the Uboot firmware that I can activate it for a boot process? I am aware that the variables are not saved without NVRAM support.

The Pegasos 2 machine uses as standard:

Xfer mode best pio 12 (PIO 416 MB/s) / best dma 69 (UDMA 5100 MB/s) / current 69 (UDMA 5100 MB/s)


It works better here.

Make sure you aren't using the unmodified Pegasos2 nvram.config file (peg2ide_xfer/irq) on the AmigaOne but changed it to AmigaOne hardware/drivers (a1ide_xfer/irq).

Quote:

setenv a1ide_xfer FFFF
setenv a1ide_irq 1111
But AFAIK AmigaOS can't access current values but only the ones stored in NVRAM ("saveenv" U-Boot command, not supported by QEmu).

Thanks for the tip, but I remembered to enter the value in the nvram.config too.

Ok, I understand that wouldn't work for testing purposes either.

If nvram.config doesn't work you can use something like
idetool >NIL: -x a1ide.device 0 69
idetool 
>NIL: -x a1ide.device 2 69
in your S:startup-sequence or S:user-startup instead to change the transfer mode.
(According to the idetool -l output you are using 2 emulated drives, unit 0 and 2.)

With this entry my machine no longer boots and gets stuck at the boot logo.

I then tried to activate UDMA mode via the shell with:

idetool -x a1ide.device 0 69 and idetool -x a1ide.device 2


As soon as I do that, UDMA mode is switched on, but as soon as I want to access the hard drive, only the loading status (clock) comes up and I can no longer operate the system.

If I only:

idetool -x a1ide.device 2


As far as my 2 HD is concerned, I still have full access under AmigaOs4.1, but as soon as I want to access the 2 hard drive there is the loading status again as described above. I also checked it with:

idetool -l a1ide.device


And the HD is actually put into UDMA mode but is unusable when used. This is strange...

I didn't change anything in library / kernelstart - I just ran the commands from the console and tested under QEMU amigaone

After I restored the original "nonvolatile.library.kmod" and deleted nvram.config from the Kickstart folder, UDMA mode can also be used here. This makes everything feel a little faster when loading. Thanks smarkusg for the tip.

Use much more buffers, at least 1000 instead of only 64. Change it with MediaTooBox in the partition details.

DiskSpeed isn't really usable for such tests, using for example ScsiSpeed would be better.
DiskSpeed is a benchmark tool for comparing different file systems on the same hardware and most of your results for the small transfer sizes are just testing memcpy() speed of the disk cache instead of actual disk accesses and as result for example the 32768 bytes read/write results (from/to the disk cache) are much faster than the results of the larger transfers (which may bypass the disk cache and are disk I/O speed).
ScsiSpeed is for checking the speed of the hardware/driver, without using a file system, disk caches, etc.

What does changing the buffer size do? Should it be increased for all partitions or only for the system partition.

You are right , the value should be minium 1000 - my mistake . Thank you

I have a question for you as we are talking about file systems. I have searched but have not found an answer.
There is a JXFS file system. I checked - the file is no different from the one in AOS 4.1. In AOS 4.1 FE is the same - it even has the same checksum.
The system can be used for reading and writing, but only until the next reboot of 4.1 FE.
Is it possible to unlock it to make it read/write in AOS 4.1 FE?
From what I read there were problems with it and it was withdrawn. I am aware that it can break something, but I would like to find out for myself

Is it possible to use a real gamepad (usb) with Qemu and AmigaOs4.1? Qemu Pegasos2 supports USB.

Resized Image

Most of the games I currently play on AmigaOs4.1 work very well with a keyboard, but games like MegaMario/XRick/SMC etc. would play much better with a joystick or gamepad.

I found this gamepad on https://www.amiga-shop.net/en/Amiga-Ha ... -Amiga-gamepad::1125.html and would like to buy it, it also offers USB support, so it should be possible, since according to the manufacturer AmigaOs4.1 supports this device.

Has anyone already tried or tested this?

Some news about QEMU and AmigaOS:

I've moved the project to qmiga.codeberg.page from the osdn.io address because that does not work reliably any more. Please use this address from now on. The wiki articles are also on codeberg.org/qmiga/pages/wiki now.

There is also a new BBoot release to simplify booting AmigaOne version but that needs latest QEMU from git master for now or the 8.2 release that will be out in one or two weeks. More info on using it is here.

Thanks for the new BBoot version, after some start difficulties by "SmartFilesystem" alias "SmartFileSystem" BBoot could not find and load the module, I had the problems at that time already with BBoot Pegasos2.

By removing all required firmware rom files it makes the installation for the AmigaOneXe machine very easy, no modification of the Install.Iso is necessary anymore.

Just a short info the AmigaOneXe machine works as fast as the Pegasos2 machine UDMA/USB/VIA-AC97 network works without any problem. Fantastic work.

I command line doesn't make any sense, they just told Qemu a drive.

Please use Balaton Zoltan`s guide it will help you with the installation. If you still have problems, I would be happy to help you.

Installation Guide :

http://zero.eik.bme.hu/~balaton/qemu/amiga/aos_bboot.html

If you can read German, I have also written an installation guide with a little more detail about using Qemu.
