ACube: Firmware update for Sam 440ep (flex) - U-boot 1.3.1g
For its PPC motherboards Sam 440ep and Sam 440ep-flex ACube Systems has released a firmware update which can be downloaded for free from the corresponding website. Radeon-HD and Radeon-RX- cards now can be used with a PCIe adapter:
- Improved support for Radeon HD and Radeon RX graphic cards.
Now you can use a Radeon HD / RX via a PCI to PCI Express adapter. On the Sam440ep flex motherboard, it is recommended to use PCI slot #1 for maximum performance. Please note that full support for Radeon RX is still under development and for this reason, with many models of gfx cards, U-Boot does not show any output, but the card works fine once the operating system is loaded.
- Introduced a new menu entry to change the x86 gfx BIOS emulator accuracy.
If your graphic card show some visual problems on startup, try increasing the x86 BIOS emulator accuracy.
