Hi Everybody, The first net6501 comBIOS vers 1.41 update is now available at:
http://soekris.com/downloads.html It includes the new USB Boot code which should be able to boot all newer USB flash sticks, it currently support only high speed device (which all newer USB sticks are) do have support for hubs and multi lun devices like flash card readers, although we haven't tested that many yet. Please note that the comBIOS just scan once for devices at powerup/reset, so some device slow to get ready might need a "reboot" in the comBIOS before getting recognized (have been observed with an USB to SATA converter). You can select what device to boot on with the usual comBIOS boot command. The vers 1.41 also have various small and larger fixes, including correct BIOS MPtable with HT enabled and soft reboot issue fixed. Quick guide to updating: The comBIOS update code is not there until the new version has been downloaded, so you need to use the uManager this time. Do: enter "+++" then 1 sec pause, you should then see the uManager prompt. # "download" - start xmodem download # "update" - to update uManager itself You then need to power cycle the board to get everything ready again.
