Title: UBoot manuals and SAM460 preparation
Post by: vox on February 01, 2014, 06:45:28 PM
Hi, I am getting ready to set up SAM460ex system using Radeon 4000 HD PCI-E, SATA Card and an SSD for boot and 500GB SATA as data hdd.


Goals are:
+ To prepare a triple boot sys
  AmigaOS 4.1.6+
+ MorphOS once done (for now just partition alone, one or more, FFS or wait for MOS and IceFS)
- Lubuntu 14 with XFCE, LXDE, MATE, KDE, one home one data one swap

Thats all for SSD

How to make shared data partitions (FAT32?) on other HDD.

Which SLB should I use? Panthelope?

Is there any good Uboot guide, with SAM460ex you get no Uboot guides

Bump no ideas on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uboot

Found [[Category:Firmware]]
http://www.denx.de/wiki/publish/U-Bootdoc/U-Bootdoc.pdf
http://www.denx.de/wiki/U-Boot/MiniSummitELCE2014

Also more advanced model exists
http://wiki.barebox.org/doku.php

Sadly no Uboot manual is supplied with SAM 460ex.

Looks a bit better then CFE, which Steven says will not be updated.

Also, Uboot will be back with X5000 - Cyrus

Why Hyperion and ACube dont go to summit (strangely, UBoot @SAMs is maintained by Acube,
and with X5000-Cyrus and X1000 CFE by Hyperion - who does what anymore?)

I've never bothered installing Linux on my Sam460, but try the guide here (http://jabirulo.site90.com/sam460ex/). Pay close attention to how you should partition your hard disk.

Step by step manual ... THANKS HANS! You are way better then some Hanses I do know, tell me once you have more products. Me and DJ Nick have 3 Radeon HD drivers so we can spear one.

Linux is badly needed to make use of SAM until MOS comes, so you should be inteterested.
