NOTE: if you own a Sam440ep-flex board @ 733 Mhz, when applying the update, the DDR
will be clocked down to 122 Mhz. This means you'll loose around 20% speed on RAM
access, but will gain around 15% speed on the PCI.
If you don't feel confortable with this configuration, DON'T apply the update.

I wondering whether loss of mem speed will affect me more or less that an increase in PCI speed?
I'm inclined to stay with the staus quo for the moment, but thanks for the option!

| I'm a little confused.
Firstly, I can only see one update, although two are mentioned.
Secondly, the update contains an executable to be loaded into WBStartUp, although the description at the top of this news item talks about an ISO that has to be burned to a CD. I can imagine that that is a cut 'n' paste error, so I can ignore it.
But what about "the previous patch released earlier" ? Last edited by tonyw on 06-Dec-2010 at 11:51 PM.

You have the first update there, the second is an iso the other one is the "pci update" download from the linked page.
@anyone
Don't know id it's anything to do with the updates (I've applied the new uboot, pci and run the wbstartup one) but my trnasfer speeds from my mac to my sam have dropped from 6.5mb/s to 50k/sec :( Last edited by Severin on 08-Dec-2010 at 08:34 PM.

Same experience. Now what we need is an update to DvPlayer with the speed increase of 10 % promised earlier
Seriously, any news to share? A Christmas release perhaps, for your faithful bunch of registered users? |

| I have had to replace my Radeon 9250 due to a a fuzzy display indicating possibly either bad memory on the card or some PCI data corruption. It will work ok from time to time but reverts to the fuzzy display. Have not had a chance to test it on a PC .
Problem is that the new Radeon card has problems in the 66mhz PCI slot but works in the 33mhz slots.
anyone seeing any issues with graphics after doing the update ?
The first thing that i notice with the replacement card was graphics corruption when selecting an area on the Workbench. |

| I read on the supplied PDF that on a Sam@733 Mhz the update will clock down the DDR to 122 Mhz.
What about a Sam@800 Mhz?
Thank for reply |
