Reality check:
You can't just reflash the AmigaOne to OpenFirmware, you need to write the OpenFirmware first.

Case closed.

Also, it isn't Eyetechs choice to use U-Boot, it's MAI. I can't believe the amount of misonformation people are using as fact these days.

The AmigaOne was never redesigned to accomodate the dongle. That should be a pretty big sign as to how much of an operation we're talking about...

Flash WHAT?

Will Genesi also provide a working OpenFirmware that supports the southbridge in the new AmigaOne? Because I certainly have never seen one that does...

When was this poll done? Remember that the AmigaOne is continually shipping, so basing something on numbers even a week old is _wrong_...

I would once again like to request information on this OF Genesi claims to have for the AmigaOne, because I've never seen it...

In real life polls it's unlikely that you can cast your vote twice :-)

However, I respect Genesi for the opportunity, and I hope that there will be many AmigaONE users asking them so, and a demo version of MorphOS for the AmigaONE will born soon.

It will cost them nothing but an email, and a bit of open mindedness.


Except they need to "reflash to OF", and I have still not seen ANY mention of what OF this is. Remember that the original Teron had a 686A chipset, and incompatibilities(whew) between the A and B version of this is why MAI ended up choosing PPCBoot in the first place.

@Neko:

Not quite what I asked for, but ok. If that's your plan, port MOS to Mac hardware and I'll give it a go under MOL ;-)

Personally, I have the only AmigaOne that runs with Softex Openfirmware (that I know of), due to it having a 686A chipset. So if Genesis sends me a flashrom with Softex on it and a CD with MOS, I'll be happy to test it. I can't promise I'll keep it installed, but I would certainly give it a once-over ;-)

But the AmigaOne as sold today doesn't AFAIK support OF...

@downix:

Thanks for that insult.

Now go back and read my posting again. The problem is THERE IS NO WORKING OPENFIRMWARE IMPLEMENTATION _AS FAR AS I KNOW_ THAT SUPPORTS THE AMIGAONE WITH A 686B SOUTHBRIDGE.

Thanks for playing, but you'll need to insert more coins.

The problem is then that YOU CAN'T REFLASH THE AMIGAONE WITH THE TERON OF BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BOOT, HENCE IT WON'T BOOT MOS EITHER.

Got it now? I didn't think so.

@Warface:

I think Frodon means that since HE doesn't like to have a GUI, _I_ shouldn't be allowed to type "menu" if I want to move IRQs or change the boot arguments or something. Quite normal in the Amiga "community". See it all the time.

"We don't want configurable options, we want MY preferred settings burned into the ROM!!!"

Yep, that's the attitude ;-)

@downix et al:

I notice noone is answering my question about what OF you would reflash the AmigaOne with. I want to see this, you know...

Except this isn't an opinion, it's a rather fair question. Genesi claims you only need to reflash, I ask "with what?" and get no answer. So, I take it the answer is "nothing"?

I guess I am being ignored. Even when I know I have the right answer people still keep asking others. So maybe I should just stop posting here alltogether. Would save me a lot of time not answering user questions like I've been doing. *sigh*
