[chameleon] How To Flash Banks 1, 2 And 3 ?
« on: October 24, 2004, 06:37:00 AM »

Hi,

I wonder how to flash these banks ? I've try to boot on bank 1, then I put a CD in the drive to flash the bank but that has flash the bank 0 (since, I realised that it was normal). Fortunately, the flash has worked but I want to know how to do for the future, in order to have a working bank when I will flash again.

I've also tried to flash from evox by adding these lines in evox.ini :

CODE
Section "Chameleon Mode 1",ID_Chameleon_Mode_1
{
Line "Mode 1 (4x256k)"
Item "Switch To TSOP (Disable Chameleon)",ID_Chameleon_Release_D0,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 0",ID_Chameleon_Bank_0,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 1",ID_Chameleon_Bank_1,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 2",ID_Chameleon_Bank_2,ID_Full_Reboot
Item "Switch To Bank 3",ID_Chameleon_Bank_3,ID_Full_Reboot
Line "-=*-*=-"
Item "Flash Bank 0",ID_Chameleon_Bank_0,ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Flash Bank 1",ID_Chameleon_Bank_1,ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Flash Bank 2",ID_Chameleon_Bank_2,ID_Flash_Bios
Item "Flash Bank 3",ID_Chameleon_Bank_3,ID_Flash_Bios
}


but when I activate "Flash Bank 1" in the Evox menu, it does nothing.

What is missing ? My Evox was too old (I've did that with an old version, but I now have the 3935) ?
Help !

Fisrt I will need to know two things.

I would need to know the mode you have your chameleon in.
You can use the settings in evox that will tell you that and the next question.
What version of evox are you useing.
Lastly it could be that the \bios folder/directory is empty and it will give you a blank screen that you can move you bar but select nothing.


Also you will need to add the md5 into the evox.ini to flash any bios onto your chameleon.

If you would like pm the entire evox.ini file and the md5 for the bios you want to flash and I will correct the evox.ini file for you.  And pm it back.

Mode 1

>What version of evox are you useing.

Now, I have the 3935 available on this CD ( http://gueux.be/modules/mydownloads/single...?cid=2&lid=1164 ) and haven't touch anything.
But when I've tried to flash, I used and old version (3752).
Which version do you want ?

>Lastly it could be that the \bios folder/directory is empty and it will give you a >blank screen that you can move you bar but select nothing.

It's exactly that !

> Also you will need to add the md5 into the evox.ini to flash any bios onto your >chameleon

What is the MD5 ? Where I find that ?

>If you would like pm the entire evox.ini file and the md5 for the bios you want to >flash and I will correct the evox.ini file for you. And pm it back.

OK, I will pm it to you as soons as you will have answer the few questions I ask

Big thanks

well I guess you will need to know what bios you are going to use and you need ether a md5.exe file and run in dos mode and get the md5 or use a tool like evtool or xbtool to get the md5.

you evox version is a good version to use with chameleon.  Also the only problem is that the bios will need to go into the bios folder and your evox.ini file will need to be updated.
