AmigaOne uboot and OS4.0 updates

[cehofer]

I was wondering if anybody has links to the latest uboot and OS4.0 updates.  I looked around here but I didn't see any.  Also, when trying to create the update.image to a floppy or the iso to a bootable CD, does anybody have a el torito bootable image or know the settings for TrackDOS?  What's the easiest way to update u-boot?  The instructions were quite vague and I'm not a Linux person and I don't have debian installed.

Is Burn-it capable of doing it?

If you install OS4.0, do you really need to install Deniab?  Wasn't that just a hold over until 4.0 was released?

I downloaded the uboot update and it has a SLBV2 file.  It says that Starting with version 1.12, slb_v2 requires the new UBoot 1.1.1 released on the
23rd of Feb. 2005.

Please install the slb first and then flash the new firmware.
  However, it does not tell you how to update that before you flash the uboot.  Anybody know how to do this or if it is needed.

I figured out last night what the slb was for after I installed 4.0 and it wouldn't boot off the HD.  I selected the slb in the media tool box, saved changed to HD and it booted.  The easiest way I found to update uboot was use Windows rawrite.exe.  I know I did a taboo thing.  There was a free GUI one for XP and it worked great.  I was just so frustrated.  I tried MakeCD but it didn't like my oktagon scsi board and Yamaha 21xx drive.  I looked all over burn-it and didn't find the capability to burn from an iso file.  You can make ISO and create a file or burn to a cdr.

Thanks for your help I am up and running.  I'll update the uboot to the latest tonight.  4.0 is nice and fast.  If you have OS4.0 can you just buy and upgrade or do you have to buy the full 4.1 for $138 US?

I don't mind at all supporting the Amiga community.  I look at it this way that the Windows OS is $140 US and usually around $100 US for ugrades from Home to Professional.

One thing I would like to see them is expand on is the Smart Phone  and GPS market and put OS4.1 on a phone like my LG VU.  I'm sure it could do a great job over Windows CE.  If I was Amiga, Inc, I'd get in bed with a PDA manufacturer develop a nice software suite and go after Black Berry market in the US.  They really have no competition.  Palm just bit it.  OS 3.9 or 4.1 on a hand held device would be awesome!
