I keep getting this message in Internet Explorer.
      "The file uploaded was not 4194304 or 256 bytes. Refusing to flash"

And

 "Illegal Size, NOT FLASHING" in the X-Xchip Cormwell Bios v1.1 screen.  grr.gif

The switch settings are (1 and 3, onn)
                                  (2 and 4, off )


Please , anyone ?     uhh.gif

This would be good to know.  I've ordered an Xchip lite, and the instructions say to use a 4mb file to flash it.  I've looked around the forums and faqs, but can't find anything.

create a batch file containing the following

@ECHO OFF

if "%1"=="" goto usage
if "%2"=="" goto usage
if NOT EXIST %1. goto notfound
if EXIST %2. goto existing
copy /b %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 + %1 %2
dir %2

echo Output file '%2' has been created!
goto exit

:existing
echo Output file '%2' Already exists, delete it first.
goto exit
:notfound
echo Input file '%1' is not found!
:usage
echo Usage is: make4MB [input 256k bios] [output 4MB BIOS]

:exit

---END--- (Don't put this in there ... including the ---END--- part)

save the batch file as make4MB.bat

then run make4MB yourinputfilename.bin youroutputfilename.bin

That will create a 4MB image for you.

.... to create a batch file in windows xp click on start, click on run, type cmd, hit enter type cd \ hit enter, type edit make4MB.bat, hit enter, put all that crap in there, hold alt hit f, hold alt hit s, hold alt hit x, copy the 256k bin file over to the c:\ (go to my computer double click on your harddrive icon, copy the file there.) back in the dos window type make4MB yourbios'sfilename.bin your4MBbiosfilename.bin, hit enter, that will create the image for you.

For windows 95~ME change cmd to command.

Sorry if you didn't need all that extra extraneous info, just trying to be thorough.

umm baka!

i assume you have access to the usual places to get files like this. well find the bios file for the xchip. it will be evox 1.3, just look in the xchip directory. then flash that bios. im not sure on the specifics of the xlite, but with the xchip you use load raw, i assume the xlite has a similar command. once you have the evox 1.3 bios loaded reboot.

I followed your instructions exactly like you wrote them.

I was able to make the (256 byte) file into a (4mb) .bin

I burnt it into the x-lite via http: and (awesome) it worked !


"Sandman2055"  it did work for me. You know what to do when you get your chip!!

Again, thanks "sparkie2640"

"Kryxan", thanks for your reply also.


kool....let the games begin ....!

Cool beans!  That worked.  I have one more question now...

How do I flash different bios onto the chip instead of just the same one multiple times?  I mean, can I flash x2 and M8 onto the chip and then choose which I want to load at any given time?

How long does the flashing over http usually take?  It's been 25 minutes, and no change....

I browsed to my XChip_V1.3.bin bios file (4MB downloaded from the usual spot) and clicked "upload and flash".  The web browser says "Sending request to 192.168.0.99" in the lower left corner, and the web animation is going like it's trying to DL a page file.  Been doing that for whole time.  I'll leave it be for now, but is something wrong?
