Sure, if you like broken swap lists you can stay on 0.9.0...Diddl wrote:Normally there is no need to update to 0.9x, cause most changes are only REL files concerned.
The only influence sd2iec has over the bootloader is the version code that's in the binary. There is nothing that I could change in a 0.9.2 release that would fix those flashing troubles.FE3 has a normal SD2IEC hardware, so it is no problem of FE3 but from SD2IEC firmware maybe. Hope it is solved at 0.9.2
That hypothesis is correct, the bootloader won't "up"grade to an older version. Grab http://www.sd2iec.de/Obsolete%20version ... naries.zip and use the binary from there, that one has an internal version number of 0 which is special-cased in the bootloader - it'll always flash a 0-versioned file unless the CRC in the file matches the CRC in the chip (to avoid reflashing the same file during every power cycle). Since 0 is smaller than any other version code you should be able to upgrade to any other version from that.nbla000 wrote:Maybe that it is the correct behaviour since now there should be a newer firmare (0.9.1) and in this case I need to wait a 0.9.2 version but there is an "emergency" firmware that will be always flashed from any version ?
In theory the bootloader shouldn't be able to overwrite itself - but I didn't write it, so I won't vouch for the accuracy of that theory.Maybe that the current firmware is totally corrupted and it is not able to autoupdate firmware.... so I need an ISP programmer
Green on is interesting... The bootloader should turn on red while it runs, if green is solid after that the main firmware may have been corrupted while flashing.the green led of the SD drive still remain fixed ON.
Some day I'll rewrite that boot loader to be more compatible and more paranoid...In the sd2iec firmware page there is a bootloader subfolder with zip files with various things may I use some hex files to revitalize the internal drive...
No please don't until we know exactly the problem.Vic20-Ian wrote:No I haven't seen a need to upgrade it yet. Let me know if you want me to. I have time tomorrow.Diddl wrote:Did you make this 0.9.1 update? Did it work for your FE3?
Interesting... In theory the readdir for FAT should not be able to generate DEL entries at all and looking at the code I can't spot any missed execution path that would result in a DEL entry. Was it starred (*DEL) and/or locked (DEL<)? What did the name look like?nbla000 wrote:Btw by using the 512MB card from uIEC, I've noticed a strange 65535 DEL file
I'm sorry but I don't remember if * or < but the name was a deleted firmware file (for SD2IEC or uIEC) with loooong name, as said, I've reformatted the 512MB SD-Card for 0.9.1 FE3 firmware re-flash.Unseen wrote:Interesting...
