Sam460LE boot problem

Hello,

I bought a Sam460LE plus an ATI Radeon RX550 from Acube recently, and they put the newest version of Uboot 2015.c in the AmigaOS SD card, which is quite nice.

But when I boot the machine, the boot screen seems to stuck at "Launching done, now launching kickstart." Anyone knows what cause the problem?

My other hardwares are:
2GB DDR2 bought from Acube
Silicon Image 3114 controller and a SATA 512GB Seagate SSD
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy FX

Uboot version:
U-Boot 2015.c (May 16 2024 - 18:47:52)

Sorry for the bad English, I'm using Google to translate

uboot is in the board not in the SD Card, anyway the board recognizes the video card but for use it with AmigaOS4 you need to buy the driver from aeon.
there is also a guide in our shop.

I bought ATI Radeon RX550 and Uboot bundle, U-Boot shell says my U-Boot version is U-Boot 2015.c (May 16 2024 - 18:47:52), does this mean my board have the newest version of Uboot?

If you see uboot on the screen with RadeonRX card, it mean that you have latest UBOOT, all fine in this regards then. But to have RadeonRX to work in amigaos4, you need drivers from AEON as henryout says.

Is it known if you have or not preinstalled RadeonRX drivers in your setup ? If yes, issue is somewhere else, if not, then you need to get RadeonRX drivers from aeon , and then somehow add it to the non-bootable system.

Best way is to have RadeonHD card first (os4 do have by default lite version of RadeonHD driver without needs to buy anything, you can boot at least). Then you get RadeonRX drivers, install then, and after that swap RadeonHD with RadeonRX.

I just today updated to 2015.c sucessfully (kind of)

My sam460LE reports 2015.c in place but unlike others i updated because of the usb and interface improvements.

But my screen still shows the old interface and Ranger reports 2015.b even though UBoot reports 2015.c

Do I have to upgrade my video card (Radeon 4650) to see the other improvements?

@sacc-dude

from the prompt of uboot you need to write the command "ver" to see the version of your uboot.

anyway I suggest you to type also this command:

"saveenv"

ranger magically will see the correct version of uboot ;)

@sacc-dude

To see the new interface you need to enter uboot menu and set:

Video Options -> Console -> Silent

better info for all about graphics card are in the guide in our website:

@henryout and m3x,

Thanks for the info (that worked)

So I knew I had 2015.c
But I left verbose for the update, didnt think to change it back

I wasn't ready to change video cards as I still want to use MorphOS and the RX cards are not usable (sigh)

@kas1e
Bought a Radeon HD6570 and it works.
Thanks for help!

Amistore installer keeps saying no internet connection, but I do have connected... Is there any offline installer?

@cvr416

You need to set up your ethernet hardware..

Go to the internet drawer select new connection..
follow the prompts

after that you can use apps like amistore..etc

@sacc-dude
I have my ethernet setting properly, and you can see I'm using Odyssey browser to browse amigans.net, only Amistore has issues

@cvr416
Amistore client is known to acts strange and bad depends on the moon, as well as it have some bugs there and there, so it's kind of luck to buy something via.

Instead, you can use some java reimplementation done by one of users, so you can buy things from any OS, without needs to run amistore. OF course its not full flegged client, but to buy things it's should be ok, there is:

@cvr416

Opps, I didnt see that.

Are you going to use the RX550 card?
The good thing is that you can use AmigaOS and MorphOS on the HD6670 (I think)
