Frustation

@m3x

Please indicate a compatible PCI-E riser card for the 440ep mini itx (eventually the fastest available). Just to avoid confusion. I know i asked many times about this, but if a W3D/W3D nova driver related to a video card useable with Sam440ep mini (with a PCI-E riser card) will be released i will buy for sure.

@m3x

Thanks.

I try NOW.

Cross your fingers.

I don't know a PCI to PCIe adapter works in the SAM440-ep, in my 440-ep-flex I use a Delock 89276 and works.

And put out of the board with a PCIe raiser like this :

@AmigaBlitter

I've successful used a RadeonHD 5450 (PCI version) on a Sam440ep mini-itx, with U-Boot 1.3.1f, using the RadeonHD 2.7 driver (needs External PCI gfx IRQ disabled from the u-boot menu)
Don't expect high CPU VRAM transfers speed (DMA transfers are faster), since data need to go through 2 PCI bridges, but everything which uses composite is very usable.

No idea if a Radeon HD 7xxx will work.

@thread

For grins did a quick ebay search for PCI to PCI-Express adapters.

Looks like they are becoming a bit more common. Here is one from China only $25.99USD and free shipping:

@m3x

Thank you for the reply.
I have a 6570 sapphire card. I hope that works.

Any chance to have W3D nova or opengl es 2 working one day?

@AmigaBlitter


Waiting that Ribdevil tells does Radeon HD7XXX cards work or not. It they work, then we have working Warp3D nova.

@m3x


:(

Don't work, with or without the IRQ dissable.

The same result, load kickstart and screen turns black, but now, the hd led flashes a few seconds and stops.

With the UBoot 1.3.1e, the hd led don't make any flashes.

Thanks Mas, see PM.

You got an email.

@AmigaBlitter

I believe that the only way, is a driver for other cards in addition to the HD 7XXX.

But .....

Fixing UBoot is much less work than writing a driver for a new card. IIRC, the Sam460 UBoot also had some issues with HD 7xxx cards, and ACube managed to overcome those.

@RIBDEVIL

are you using DVI / HDMI ? In this case, can you try with VGA instead ?

@RIBDEVIL

Could you answer to m3x?

I have suitable Radeon HD7750, but not a PCItoPCIe bridge (yet).

@m3x

I use DVI, with an adapter to vga.

All the boards I got only have DVI and HDMI.

The new Uboot in ACUBE, is the same I download from you ?
