Hi,

I will post this as many people might not know that there is a new OpenFirmware update available for Pegasos2.

Added functionality is:
# Possibility to load through the gbit ethernet.
# Support for USB (please note, not all keyboard is supported)
# fixes

If the welcome message says 'Pegasos2 version 1.2 (20040810xxxx)' you do not need to update.

I cannot provide with it but you can get more info from here:
http://tiw-pro.web.internet.telia.com/~1698137/nyheter/en.html

Remember to provide the motherboard's serial number with your request and say thank you for Gunne's support.

Regards,

Luis

October? Looks more like August 10th to me

Does somebody have the new update yet? My peg2 is running 24h and I will not shutdown it and open up the case to get my serial. Can somebody mail me the peg2 firmware update, please?

info@thomasoft.net

thx.

kindly regards

marco

Why do they make you send the serial?! I have to remove my board to get that, what a pain in the arse!

Why, just have a look at the backside of your CPU card.
It might have been a good idea to write down the S/N into your manual...

Well, SmartFirmware 1.2 does not work here. After the upgrade and
several boots into MOS, I get all sorts of problems.

One time the Startup-Sequence errors out early with a message that
ADDUSBHARDWARE is not executable.

Another I got into my Ambient and got an error "Command assing not
found." Not the spelling of "assign." That was the wierdest problem.

Another time my Ambient background did not load and I got an error
that said that the PNG datatype was not found.

On other tries some of the icons did not display and the Ambient menus
looked funky.

One time everything looked OK, then I opened a partition and the
window background was displayed in 4 bits (all other graphics were
OK).

When I switched back to SF 1.1 everything went back to normal.

Here is my setup:
G4
1GB RAM
60GB HD with 5 partitions
Radeon 9000 64MB

I'll do some more troubleshooting tomorrow. It's time for bed.

Hey

Aaron:

Could you please write a letter ?

And to all:

I want to write little more here now in this thread, sorry if any mispelling or something such.

I received the information that this might not have 'come out' so positive as the aim was from the beginning. It might be some people who thinks bplan do not care about MorphOS people. I can surely express this not is the case - instead the opposite.

I have personally spoked with bplan several times, and they are very eager to care about MorphOS-people and users/developers. And bplan have put very much work into creating what they made.

Also the work behind MorphOS is a very nice work, and whats created is something to respect made by a small team, and of course not to forget what Genesi and Raquel and Bill also have made.

Remember, there aren't so very many people in the world having a such cool machine from bplan as you do have to use and work with.

Push bplan, Pegasos and MorphOS forward !

Works great with Debian. Maybe somebody can explain if it worked with MorphOS...

@alfarobl

It works fine with MorphOS
None of the stuff that happened to Aaron
is noticed here ...

so when will it be downloadable for us that won't
bother dismounting our computer ?

Thanks to Gunne, very smart and cool email together with the Firmware update. I simply sent him an eMail with the Serial number found on the Paperbox (where I received my Pegasos in). I luckely got three Stickers, one on the Mobo, one on the CPU card and one on the Paperbox. Took me only seconds to get it. Burned the Firmware on CD, placed it into the Pegasos and entered 'boot /cdrom update-2004.08.10' and done. Everything works like a charm.

greetings,

oGALAXYo

isnt it overkill to burn this small file to a whole cd, when you can just copy it to your boot image partition and run from there ?

Quote:

Why do you care ? But to satisfy your silly question, the Pegasos is formated and covering dust on my table, so there wasn't anything to copy from/to. I just took an old CDRW which I usually use to dump random stuff onto and copied that file onto it as well. Started the Pegasos, put the CDRW into it and flashed the Firmware.

so, does it cover dust better now ?
(thinking of the new firmware)

Hello Aaron,

I had similar problems with Morphos 1.42 and the last Firmware
update May04? I solved these problems by ditching my high latency
1 Gig Dimm, now everthing works great, except I only have 256Meg of
Ram. From what I understand, this new update tightens the ram speed
quite a bit. What speed is your one gig Dimm? Mine was 1 gig ddr 2700
with a cas latency of 3.

I pulled a DIMM out of my machine and everything works fine with SF
1.2. It must not support 1GB of RAM.

--Aaron

What were the latency's of your 1Gig Dimm?
personally I want to Have another one eventually.
mainly because my system worked well with Mos1.4.1.

Given my move etc.. I am hesitant to spend $ on a DDR400 cl.2 right
now.

Actually, I was using 2 Elixir 512M PC3200 CL3 DIMMs.

[ Edited by Aaron on 2005/1/31 2:42 ]

I guess CL3 Dimms should be avoided

I have done the Firmware update and working good!

TNX! to Gunne's

Greetings Cor van Londen.

I'm a bit late trying this, but I just did the upgrade.
Took me around 1 minute (most of this was to write down my boot config )

A Really Big Thanks to Gunne!

Spidey

PS: I don't experience any of the problems as mentioned in this thread.


Edit
One of the fixes has to do with the Gbit-port.
In which way is this fixed?
Is it perhaps possible to use it now with MorphOS (internet access)?

[ Edited by Spidey on 2005/2/8 22:38 ]

@ Spidey

I didn't experience any problems so far either!

AFAIK the "fix" regarding the Gigabit port is to assign a MAC address
to it through the firmware. You could use it in for instance Gentoo
before as well but now it will be simpler . To use it in MorphOS
you will need the MorphOS driver/device for it (not yet released but
AFAIK it was showed at the Freescale SNDF Europe event).

Sorry for the double post.
