Request for HxC_SD_Bootloader_V1_0TOV1_1.upd

[DoJu91]

Hi everyone,

I've got a Rev B of the SD HxC FD emulator, my firmware is 1.1.1.0 when it boots.

I've read the docs and there is mention of the .upd I need in the subject header, as per:
http://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=842

Can someone please provide this .upd so I can upgrade my firmware to a new revision?

Once I've upgraded, I will perform the following along with copying a few HFE's

copy/replace HXCSDFE.CFG to your sdcard.
copy AUTOBOOT.HFE to your sdcard.
(Note: it is recommended to copy these 2 files right after having formatted the SDCard)
If your emulator is set as DF0 you must use AUTOBOOT.HFE present in the Emulator_as_DF0 folder.
If your emulator is set as DF1 you must use AUTOBOOT.HFE present in the Emulator_as_DF1 folder.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick reply. I've tried to apply the update but I note:

Red LED light permanently ON state
Orange LED light permanently ON state
Then I get 4 blinks .... 4 blinks .... 4 blinks

HxC_SD_Bootloader_V1_0TOV1_1.upd

is in the root of the SD (I formatted a few hours ago with SD formatter, FAT32, 2Gb, Fujitsu SD card)

[Jeff]

format it with windows. If still doesn't work, try another sd.

I've tried a Kodak 64Mb SD, SanDisk 2GB SD, FujiFILM 2Gb SD

All same result ... three LED all lit up, none blinking.

I'm in Australia, the Amiga 2000 Floppy cable can only be inserted one way, with the red wire on pin 1 side.

There is a tiny twist in the cable.

FDD power cable is yellow, blue, blue, red and will only connect in that direction.

So I hold down left / right, power on the Amiga 2000, hold for 1-2 seconds, still on version 1.1.1.0

Are you sure that you entered into flash mode ? the lcd should not be initialized.

How do you mean "initialized"?

When I hold down left/right then power on, then hold for 1-2 seconds, I get no letters on the LCD screen, only 8 or so square blocks indefinately.

Would be cool if it would say "firmware updating ... "

I've read on another thread that a Kingston SD card worked for another HxC user, so I'll buy one and give it a test...

BTW where and when did you get this old Rev B emulator ?

BTW where and when did you get this old Rev B emulator ?

ebay as new in mid-2011 from lotharek's portal (only place to get them).

I bought another SDHC card today brand new, this one's a SONY 8GB, FAT32, copied the v1_0tov1.1.upd and same result:

Red LED light hard-on
Yellow LED light hard-on
4 flashes (can't find the .upd) file which is weird.

The Amiga FDD cable can only connect on the motherboard one-way as there is a pin filled in on the cable so you can't swap it.

Im finally making some progress...

The FDD cable was replaced with a spare which allow me to reverse the cable that connects to the HxC

Now i have the power LED light on, floppy access LED Off, SDcard acces LED Off

Put the SDCard in .... returns "reading FAT..."

This is not a progress : the bootloader update still not done.

Maybe you should ask to Lotharek a bootloader update services for your device.

Its a Rev B 050310 SDCard HxC Floppy Emulator card.

Thanks Jeff, I've sent an email to Lotharek and provided him with the information:

Dear Lotharek,

http://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopi ... 8795#p8795

I have a Rev B 050310 HxC2001 SDCard FDD emulator

I'm running firmware v1.1.1.0
I can't seem to update the firmware
I've tried 4 different SDHC cards none have worked

Hope you can be of assistance

One question by curiosity : did you used the device in the past or was it in its package since 3 years ?
