TF330 Soft Reboot Issue (SOLVED)

[terriblefire]

I always assumed the CD32 rom was 16 bit access only, especially considering it has a place for a second rom on the motherboard. So the designers pulled off a 32 bit access with a single chip? That's some sorcery.

I’m not 100% convinced it is 32 bit but it’s laid out in ROM like it is. I’ll try and use vanilla AmigaOS myself later. I suspect it’s still a DMA issue.

I have no idea how the reboot is happening so can’t really diagnose properly.

Just to add I tried the " Boot with no Startup-Seq" again a few times and this time it goes to Amiga Dos, so inputed LoadWB and it boots ..go figure

I was trying it last night and it would freeze every single time even with different CF cards

This works on mine with a standard 3.1 OS on a 8gb cf and will boot with no startup-sequence selected

Do you have a bog standard os 3.1 you can try ?

Yes, the same one that you use.

Just tried again on a Vanilla OS 3.1 CF and it will boot to amigados on mine , it does take a good few seconds before the Shell opens but it does work
Have you waited to see if it gets to the shell window ..eventually

Any differences in file systems being used ? I

I only use PFS3aio never had a problem with it, like I said Loadresident is a rabbit hole lol

I have PFS-aio also, but no difference with FFS. Actually the freeze happens as soon as I click on the button, the screen never goes away. It just stays frozen, but I only have a rev1 board here. It might not happen on the rev2. I will check again when I get the rev2 PCBs.

The Rev2 is basically the Rev1 with the IPL lines removed from the CPLD and the EXP_BR/EXP_BG pins wired up there instead.... Cant see how that could possibly make any difference.

I can confirm that the Boot with no startup sequence does not freeze for me.. it goes through a reset cycle every time and eventually gets a prompt.
