How to optimize ENVVARS on SAM460ex Lite?
How to optimize ENVVARS on SAM460ex Lite?
I receive my Sam460ex Lite-Board, installed all Updates and now i need to speedup things on Uboot before Kickstart-Files are loaded.
My configuration of UBoot and Sam460 is:
SII3114-Sata-PCI:
Unit0: HDD
Unit1: DVD-RW
Unit2-3: no device plugged in
Radeon-HD-Card on PCI-e 4x
Onboard SATA-II not used
PCI-e 1x not used
Uboot is searching for Devices 2-3 on SII3114-Card, how to set ENVIRONMENT-Variable to prevent this?
Are there other ENVVAR-Optimations to speedup Boot a litte?
After Kickstart-Files are loaded the whole Boot-Speed of Workbench is okay (DMA on HDD is turned on, very fast!)

Try setting from cli
Nvsetvar s4sii_maxbus=1
Nvsetvar s4sii_maxbus=1

Nope, he wrote that it's an SiI3114 card, and that the onboard SATA isn't used. So it should be:Spectre660 wrote:Try setting from cli
Nvsetvar s4sii_maxbus=1
Code: Select all
nvsetvar sii3114ide_maxbus=1
Best regards,

You are very right.
I must have been suffering from "AmigaLag" when I typed that.

Is there a typo?
Isn´t it siL3114?

Try the Nvsetvar s4sii_maxbus=1.
It works on my Sam440ep-flex.

Just quickly I seem to recall the nvsetvar didn't require nor work if you included the = sign just try a space next time also type nvgetvar to make sure your syntax is remembered and is displayed correctly

Re: How to optimize ENVVARS on SAM460ex Lite?
No, that's a common mistake. The brand is called "Silicon Image", and the acronym consists of "Si" which is the chemical symbol for Silicon, followed by a capital "I" for Image. Therefore the device driver was also named with two i's, sii3114ide.device.fingus wrote:Is there a typo?

I'm not sure why it doesn't have the desired effect.
An alternative could be to set the sii3114ide_conf variable to 1200. This tells the system that there is a hard disk (1) on the first port, a CD/DVD (2) on the second, and nothing on the two others.

This is working, thanks!Spectre660 wrote:Try the Nvsetvar s4sii_maxbus=1.

I typed it inside AmigaOS-Shell not Uboot. It seems this "=" thing just work with Shell but not Uboot.
And how to remove the non functional entry "sii3114ide_maxbus=1" from Uboot?
Is there a command to delete it?
Re: How to optimize ENVVARS on SAM460ex Lite?
Just set the variable to nothing/empty.
