x1000 and sb600 and/or other issues?
Posted: Tue Jul 05, 2016 7:16 pm
Hi All, sorry I didn't post this under AmigaOne x1000 forum, btu I do not get a New Topic button there, so I cannot do so. Please move there if you can, but I would appreciate replies, so please don't move if that would prevent replies.
I have heard vague statements that there are "some issues" with sb600 in x1000/Nemo, I'd like to know if someone can comment more fluently about that. I am curious what to expect when I finally get my x1000 running, how to fix what might happen, what to outright avoid doing, etc.
Are there known issues with anything coming from sb600 on the Nemo board? Is that due to driver bug, motherboard bug, or chip bug?
If software bug, is a fix underway, and what issues might remain after that is released? Any software bug not being corrected?
If driver software bug, or even firmware bug, is there Aeon/Hyperion interest in someone curious about such things and who may want to try to fix any issues there are? (I'm nearly free from my university time obligations after August 2016)
I found it very curious that there is not also an sb600 or newer on Cyrus or Tabor boards as I remember the announcements, but had thought that was more likely cost reduction reasoning, btu perhaps there was somethnig that I have not collided with myself yet for the sb600.
Googling around did not find me anything abotu sb600 issues on x1000/Nemo or AmigaOS, but it did turn up some old issues in x86/x64 PC land with USB, SATA softreset, ACPI and SMbus ID, which I have not dug very deeply into yet, but I udnerstand at least USB was allegedly fixed in Ubuntu 8.something version.
I really just want to understand the situation as well as I can, and very much appreciate any honest technical descriptions of any problems in Amiga universe with sb600 chip on x1000, or any other issues with x1000 motherboard.
