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.


Best Regards,
