sam460: new uboot update to handle RadeonRX coming soon!

I updated as well today.
Despite the "fixed USB handling especially for keyboard support", I still can't use my Keyboard in Uboot, but that's ok. When I ever have to use Uboot again, I just use the Logitech K400.

By the way, any experience with the DDR2 Boost option?
Did anyone some Benchmarks? Experienced any instabilities?

Today I tried the update and both updaters (SST and Atmel) can't recognize the flash type. Anyone has the same issue?

I will answer myself, mostly for anyone who stumbles upon the same error. I contacted ACube and it seems the updater can't program my EEPROM so they will send me a physical chip.

@jarokuczi

Have you tried the check_460_baseclock program?

@dirk67

Yes I did. I should use the 60 version cause I have 60mhz clk.

Great support from ACube 👍

Hi, updated my SAM460ex with lastest Uboot and went like a charm.
Used CD to update, seleced ATMEL chip (opt A) and no porblem.

Changed some uboot envvars and now it boots like "ol' times"

THX a LOT

Gfx card is RX550:


BTW what envvar should I set, so when it shows my kickstart boot entries the default is the 2nd (or 3rd ro ...)? Can't remember ¿:-/

@jabirulo try to adapt boot_config with the unique label from SYS:Kickstart/kicklayout

@skygecko

That was it!!! THX

I had such envar set with "old" uboot and stdout=serial and it booted automagically such option, then when updating to latest Uboot I removed such envar, 'cos didn't want to autoboot.

So it "works" differently on serial vs vga stdout.

Hello,

I'm hoping someone can help me out. I'm trying to update my Uboot using the USB method. I have the image copied on my Ext2 formatted USB Drive, my serial cable connected to my WinBlows machine, PUTTY running and boot messages coming up, but my Uboot hangs at VESA: OK. It doesn't give the option to interrupt the boot process. It just continues to boot. I've tried disconnecting the drive from the SATA board, but Uboot continues to hang and VESA: OK. Am I missing something?

Thanks for any help I can get.

@kishigo

try setting stdin and stdout to serial, you can do it from the AOS4.1 shell:


Remember to put them to the original values when done:

@m3x

Thank you.

After much wailing and gnashing of teeth, I managed to muddle through it. I have the new Uboot. I'll write those commands down for future reference.

@m3x
Quote:"stdout serial" seems to be wrong for the original value, should be something like "stdout vga" instead (alt least in the A1-XE and X5000 U-Boot versions that's the default).

@joerg

yes, you're right, it was a copy/paste error, I've modified the above post, thanks !
