At anytime soon, the latest UBoot will be downloaded by my IT-friend, and he should then pick up mye machine, flash the latest UBoot into the FlashROM and off i go!!! :-)  :-D  :-D  :-D  :-D  8-)
Helgis - AMIGA DEFINITELY makes it all possible!!!

For God's sake Helgis,
[color=990033]DON'T[/color][/b].
The u-Boot you download from the Net is very generic. Hyperion have done a lot of work that hasn't yet been sent back up the source tree. Stick with the u-Boot you have (it'll work fine) and ask your dealer for info on updating it. If necessary, which I doubt.
Get used to your board before you try harebrained schemes like that. Look at how much it cost you, and ask yourself if you shouldn't spend a lot of time getting to know your AOne before taking wild risks with it.

Rule of thumb: if you don't know exactly what you're doing,  don't do it.

Are you determined to break that A1? Overclocking and reflashing... maybe you should try using a sledgehammer. It'll work faster.

Apparently I need an updated something ? Coz I've got a Radeon 8500 card for my A1.

Guess I'm gonna have to get used to being a  Newbie, till Aos 4 is released.

@anarchic_teapot

Are you saying that Hyperion has broken the GPL by not sending their changes back to the main tree?

Ah, common Downix, that's not what she is saying. The important word here is "yet"..

Did anyone tried to flash an "AmigaOne" with a Pegasos OF ?
 :-o

Someone may even find a flash bios switcher like we had to either start with 1.3 ROM and 2.0/3.1.

Of course that would require to own the original platform.

What about Genesi selling a bios switcher + Pegasos OF bios + MorphOS ?  :-P

AFAIK the GPL only states that the source must be availble to the public, not how it should be available.  If someone requests the source then they must give it to them - that's all it is.
