x1000 documentation and other x1000 related questions

@trixie

At this point, it's a clear no. It's a matter of mentality.
The community has to sort out its issues with "Entitled progress versus real progress" before I will make any further significant contributions. If this statement is unclear then check my older posts to find out what I mean with this

But also, while the hdaudio driver licence explicitly forbids any commercial use without my written permission, there is already one shop (that I know of) which ships their Amigaone X5k with an HDaudio card installed. And points to my driver on Os4depot from their webshop without even bothering to contact me. The funny fact is that I do not intend to prevent any commercial use, I just want to control commercial use. But that ship has now sailed for this webshop.

Note to myself: I have to read the books first to see if this behaviour was the true meaning of the title "From Vultures to Vampires"

@geennaam

Since you mentioned the documentation. There is a Todo section:
Todo:

- Support for Digital Inputs (Both Optical and RCA)
- Create Docky
- Extend features of hdmixer
- Create Installion Script

Personally, I would be very happy with support Docky. Is there a chance that You realize this feature?

@kas1e:

So I have now tryed the ISO from the Install CD on the CFCard which is plugged into the old IDE port. As expected, it does not work after all.

This error message appears.
Unknown files system on disk /pxp@0,e000000/pci@11/pci@14,1/ide0.0

So I had in the past only written the amigaboot.of and the Kickstart things to the CFCard in the IDE Port, which is set up with FFS.
(Because my Sata and CFCard port was defective and therfore not able to find an amigaboot.of on SSD/HD. Only on the CD and IDE Port i was able to boot then.

So also no ISO boot from the port. At least with an iso on a cfcard in an ide2cf adapter here.

EDIT: In cfe it is possible to display the dir with -fs=iso but amigaboot fails.

@TearsOfMe
That bad .. But at least we tried :)

I'm sure you know os4coding.net is proof of that. It used to be in the autodoc books and RKMs. Then ADCD. The wiki has some of those but perhaps not all. I think examples are lacking in all areas. Recently I wanted to program an OS3 ExtSprite. Read the API functions and was still blank as to how I simply set a sprite image, turn it, off and change images. These are fundamental steps but I didn't see it mentioned!

Quote:

That's a reasonable assumption. Did you volunteer or did they ask you? If you aren't familiar with Amiga coding let alone device drivers which are rather low level code why would they ask you?

This is the problem with the Amiga scene. A friend offered his help in beta testing code as he has experience with beta testing in the real world and they said no. No wonder OS4 is going down the crapper.

For network there would be the extra SANA commands as well as base device commands.

There should already have been reference sources given with existing network drivers.

Did you own an X1000 before you started?

Absolutely.

Sorry, the RAM coolers are saeled, so I cannot post a picture of chips.

Are there preferred memory slots to fill in special order? I have 2 sticks, I think are 2GB each.

@billt

X1000's CPU have two memory controllers.
If you have two identical sticks, place them symmetrically:

empty - RAM - CPU - RAM - empty
this allows interleaving of controllers, i.e. it is faster.

RAM - empty - CPU - empty - RAM
this probably have the same effect

if you have different modules, place them this way:

empty - empty - CPU - RAM1 - RAM2
it should work, but with no interleaving, using only one memory controller.


P.S. amazing baby on your avatar

I have USB into the indicated keyboard USB connector on nemo motherboard, but am not sure how well things are working at moment.

I do get display on hdmi monitor, which is good sign. Git the x1000 logo, now I see some device info such as ATI framebuffer enable, IDE things, memory used by CFE and USB things, like text in a DOS sort of thing.

Here it stops.

The USB is from a KVM and has both keyboard and mouse in same port, but is the one indicated for keyboard.

So, I'm happy it's alive-ish, as I had to remove and replace a PCIe slot that was broken when I received this thing. But isn't obviously usable yet.

I did get 2 hdds with this system, and perhaps I connect to wrong one at the moment, I don't have enough sata cables to go around, and don't want to scavenge from original case. (using a rackmount case)

And after that initial boot, I had a second boot that showed logo but got into a loop like someone else described somewhere. I checked my battery and it's 3 volts, not dead like the other person's description I saw and solved with new battery that had power in it. And now, I get nothing visible at all, screen does not indicate has any signal.

The serial cable is still in original case, tonight I'll get that out and find a USB-serial thing to use with it and see if that says anything.

I get 2 LEDs now, I believe there were 3 when I was getting the firmware x1000 logo. I saw 3 last time and then it went to two, I'll have to look what those mean as well. A bit less excited than I was when I saw the logo, but still optimistic for this thing...

@billt
Nemo Technical Reference Manual - check your LEDs here:

LED1 0805, red general power supply fault
LED2 0805, red CPU core supply fault
LED3 0805, red SB600 power good (PLD controlled)
LED4 0805, red CPU power good (PLD controlled)
LED5 0805, red SB600 running (PLD controlled)
LED6 0805, red local bus LED register (PLD controlled)

When I get the boot logo, then the 3 on LEDs are led2, led3, led4, so both CPU core power fault and CPU power good. Does that make sense?

When it doesn't seem to do anything at all, I have on LED2 and LED3.

I am using a Corsair RM850X power supply, which is brand-new, not pulled from something else. A Power Supply tester does show it is good.

I will try with original case power supply as well this weekend.

@billt

Hi, just to help a little this is a video of my X1000 LEDS from power on to WB loading. Kinda boring as it is just the same three LEDs the whole time.

It does much the same in the original case and power supply. But I may have misread some LEDs earlier, it's hard to see clearly as they are so bright, and I cannot get a good picture like ddni showed in his video, it's just a big bright blur on my cellphone.

Serial output I get hex 00 FF and nothing else.

If I power on now, I get two LEDs - 2 and 3.

If I wait some time between, then I might get 3 LEDs on - 3, 4, 5, at least for a moment before it changes to two on 2 and 3.

The 3, 4, 5 I think I previously misread as 2, 3, 4...


P.S. Even on those earlier attempts that did show a boot logo, I never did see any menu or prompt or anything, only the logo, if this means anything. I haven't seen that for several attempts now. :/

@billt

According to the list sailor posted LED2 is CPU core supply fault. Do you know if the CPU has been tampered with in any way? Or even fan removed for cleaning? By the looks of it the CPU is not being powered correctly. I don't know if any other power lines exist on the board. Or CPU jumpers. Or if the power socket could have an issue even if PSU is fine. But it indicates the CPU doesn't have proper power. Possible also that any faulty cards plugged in could cause it.

You have a serial cable working. I'd say the next step is strip it down. Pull any cards out. Test. Pull drives. Test. Then pull all cards including ram with only PSU and serial hooked up. Test. You should at least see debug output with CFE complaining about missing items.

@billt

Disconnect any sata drive and see if you've got the CFE complaining about Low memory.
Then reconnect them and try to start again.

On serial, if well configured (speed set to 115200 bps), you should see something like this if all goes well:

OK, after quite a long time, I am trying again to get my x1000 running. Now, I finally again get the X1000 logo on screen, and I get serial output from CFE.
I tried setting boot menu items, and now CFE goes along but stops at USB New device connected, as seen in the serial log below. As I had previously got to the CFE prompt and been able to do setenv things, I am not sure if my setenv things are wrong and the problem, or if they would not do that and something else is odd. I understand just now that x1000 was weird with SATA drives, I currently have two sata hard drives and no optical drive, which is currently in a different case.
show devices command did not show any ide drives. It did show two USB drives, I dont' understand that as no USB drives present that I know of. Only USB thing is a combo wireless keyboard/mouse (trackpad) Only PCIe is AMD Radeon card. Two memory sticks, but I don't know capacity on them.
I did put in a new battery earlier today.
I did try the CMOS clear jumper, that doesn't seem to make any difference at the moment.

I've got further now, moved the motherboard back into the rack case the optical drive is in. With optical drive, it can see one of the two hard drives, and I've fumbled my way through booting to workbench.

I haven't figured out why it doesn't see the second hard drive, I've tried various combinations of SATA ports and checked all cables.

Following instructions at https://amigaone.files.wordpress.com/2014/11/x1000_cfe.pdf
I am trying to set STARTUP and MENU_n_LABEL and MENU_n_COMMAND things. It seems some may still be set from previous owner, I'm not sure. Now it shows some of my attemted changes from printenv, which are MENU_0_COMMAND and MENU_1_COMMAND and their their LABEL partners.

It doesn't seem to like setenv -p STARTUP menu when power on the serial output says menu is an invalid command.

I don't know if this firmware is up to date.

I can boot to OS4.1 workbench with
boot -fs=amigafs ide0.1:amigaboot.of, but I have to do this in CFE every time.
