	Hardware News : U-Boot 1.3.1b for Sam440ep released
	posted by elwood on 15-Apr-2010 21:27:56 (5251 reads)

Bassano del Grappa, 15 April 2010

ACube Systems is pleased to announce a new release of the U-Boot firmware for its line of motherboards Sam440ep and Sam440ep-flex.

What's new in this version (for both versions):

- solved a graphic glitch when booting from SD card (or USB mass-storage device)
- inverted ESC and SPACE actions at the boot countdown, now ESC brings to the U-Boot prompt and SPACE brings to the preference menu.
Additional information:

Please note: UBoot and UBoot updater makes use of GPL code and thus are both published under GPL.

The sources can be downloaded from:

Oh that's fantastic...
Great work, the Amiga Community has got more than just talent. It has hero's.
Hero's of the Golden Years and now the New Generation of Hero's that grew up with a Super Computer named Amiga - it was really good for home work. I used KindWords 2.0 for all Primary and most of my High School Years.

Updated.

That was easy to do, I thought I'd muck it up but didn't.

Is this the complete changelog? I mean, if i don't need to boot from cards/usb and don't care about keyboard configuration, is there any other reason to upgrade?

@ Nibunnoichi

You're right. If you don't want to update, then it's ok.
And the update will still be available on ACube website so you can do it later if needed.
