No ucodes

[aevans]

Heya,

My box was working fine about 1 hour ago, then i accidently knocked the power cable. Now sportster freezes while the box is booting. I can no longer connect via ehternet, but have attached the boot log obtained by the serial port.

Now am i stuck? i could flash a new image but i dont have the from the original software. Is there anything i could do?

ok, so if i could get my hands on some ucodes.... how would i tell what ones i need? I was told when i bought the box that it was intel, but i dont really want to take it appart to find out for sure....

I can see through the gaps that there are 2 chips saying c-cube. does this mean anything?

Thanks
Andy

I took it to bits in the end turns out its amd, so i guess i just need to find myself the amd ucodes.

has anybody any idea how i managed to screw it up?

I was basically going through the menus, and i remember there being an option called scart. I pressed it and a picture of a scart socket came up on the display. i pressed another button and TV came back, but without any sound.

so i went to pull the plug. I was a bit jerky with it. now when it powers up it gets to the spinny globe bit and just gets stuck.

you probably need to flash a new image to it using ifa m8
