Help with update to MIST build v1.2

[kolla]

Could you please point me to where I can find information on how to perform a system build update on the MIST?

I still don't know what do I do with these 8 files inside the zip folder with the update:

AROS ROM
firmware.bin
firmware.upg
HRTMON.ROM
minimig.art
minimig.bal
minimig.cop
minimig_mist-1.2.rbf

Do I copy and replace first all these files to the root directory of my SD card?

Thank you.

You do not need firmware.bin

With firmware.upg on the root of the SD card, you can go to the firmware menu entry, where you will see that your current firmware is different revision that the one of the disk - here you can upgrade the firmware.

minimig_mist-1.2.rbf you can load the from the "load core" menu, or if you are only using the MIST as an Amiga, you can rename it "core.rbf" on the root of the SD card.

HRTMON.ROM is needed to enable HTRMON, if you don't know what it is, it doesn't matter.

AROS.ROM is of course the AROS kickstart, if you want to play with it.

minimig.art, minimig.bal and minimig.cop you only need if you want to see the boing and info stuff on screen as the core is loaded.

So, I thought that I had done a bad update, but it turned out that what I have done to update to v1.2 was fine.

When i restored the old core (v1.1) the errors went away and the MIST works fine again.

Is anyone experiencing this? Is this a bug? Otherwise, why core v1.1 works fine, but not 1.2?

Can be so many things, depending on what software you run. I have not really noticed anything not working with 1.2 that used to work with 1.1 yet, but a lot of things that did not work with 1.1 does work with 1.2.

You should be more detailed about what those errors are, and narrow down what software that causes them.

Again - you need to be more specific about those error messages you are seeing, and also describe your system in more detail. In you signature it says "Workbench 3.9 configuration", but what does that imply? BB2? BB3+4? Using what hacks&patches?

[kolla]

Yes, the process with loading rom modules may very well be the problem. This will not work with 1.1 since the reset induced by "SetPatch" will cause the FastRAM to vanish. With 1.2 the FastRAM stays put, and it should in principle work. However, I do something else, I built my own 3.9 kickstart file and use "NOROMUPDATE" option of SetPatch.
