Nice, all we need now is for SLB (Second Level Booter) to be re-written to allow it's text output to be switched off and just show the loading progress bar. Then it would look like a more professional boot.

The fact that it prints out it's info at the bottom of the screen and has to scroll the screen seems to slow it down, if it cleared the screen first, there would be no need to scroll.

It appears that we no-longer need the "Sam440ep_setup" program with this firmware update.

But do I still need to use the "Sam440_pci-mini-update" ISO image? (Not used it yet, as I want to benchmark the difference)

You still need it, for the PCI registers setting which speedup reading performance from gfx card.

Yes you need it, the PCI update change a hardware setting on your board, it has nothing to do with U-Boot or any OS you load.

You can install the new firmware directly.

There's an independent project intending to do that.

That is good news for me.
And thanks for this update.

I'm pressing ''enter'' after the cd boots, it looks like it loads the image but after that, Sam reboots and loading the cd again. I have burn the iso with UltraISO on pc at 8x.

-edit-
I have try to update the pci bus first just in case... using CDBurnerXP this time at 16x, but i have the same problem. After i press ''enter'' cd looks like it loads the image and Sam reboots...

I will try to load the last os update just to check if i have any problem with the dvd-rw.

-edit2-

Not even the os cds (beta and update1) was booting (they were hanging after kickstart loads)
and i change ide_xfer from GGGG to 0000. problem solved! both pci and u-boot updates are now in my Sam

And still wondering where the years old promised update for the AmigaOne XE is?

Don't get me wrong, It's nice that this is out. Just not feeling the love anymore.

Installed both the firmware and pci update. So far it looks good and improved graphics performance a bit as well.

Ask Alan Redhouse....

Maybe if we are are lucky OS 4.1x port to classics may cause a revist of the Uboot code for AmigaOne models . Remember there was talk about doing the X86 emulator for starting the graphics cards on the classics.

This is great news ! What speedups are included if any ?

Will we finally see a reset to default factory settings option ?

Will we see option to save/restore from boot or from Workbench for backup ?

Can firmware be remote updated ?

Could be a boot priority issue.
Lower the priority of the bootvolume to below 5. IIRC CD-ROM has a boot priority of 5.
