Blackbird / Re: Heatsink dual fan configuration
« on: March 22, 2020, 04:49:57 pm »
Sorry guys, taking up the second fan speech managed by the Blackbird, I didn't understand exactly how to regulate the speed. I have a fan installed in the case which acts as an extractor fan to blow out the hot air produced by the CPU and GPU. Except that the speed of both fans, that of the CPU and the external one connected to the FAN2 pin of the motherboard, are the same so that after loading the PetitBoot, these slow down to the minimum speed. I would like to set the second fan FAN2 at a higher speed so that it sucks all the heat produced inside better. Is there a way through BMC to adjust this speed? Thank you

No, let's hope not, Rapotor says that production does not stop in any case as far as the factory is concerned, only that shipments will be delayed due to this emergency that is really putting the whole world to the test. Here in Italy cases continue to increase despite government restrictions, people do not want to understand that they must stay at home to limit the count. I know that unfortunately the cases are increasing in the United States too, and I believe that President Trump must take serious measures to limit the count too ...

Firmware / Re: New firmware V2.00 BMC procedure
« on: March 18, 2020, 05:36:04 pm »
I begin to understand Xlinder then. Using your example BMC number, it should look like this:
scp image-bmc root@192.168.1.13:/run/initramfs/

after the last number there are 2 points and I left them. The command should therefore be this in the room ...
I just have to find the place where the BMC number is written on the card ... Thanks Xlinder

In fact I'm not doing it now MPC, I'm following the advice TIM gave me so I won't be doing it anytime soon. I'm just trying to get as much information as I can to run it when I can... Okay Xlinder then that should be the correct syntax:


scp image-bmc root @ <BMC blackbird IP address I find on the card>: / run / initramfs /

2 more questions but I need to ask, the first one is if the brackets <> are part of the command or are they put here just to indicate that you have to put the code on the motherboard? Second question where exactly do I find the code on the board?

Thank you all!

Well, so for the time being, I'll do as I'm told, avoid doing it until the emergency passes, maybe it's better. Anyway, at least I want to know when I'm gonna do this update. Your explanation is much more complete for me that I've never done anything like this before, but I'm asking for a clarification if that's possible. The exact syntax of the command I have to execute is this:

cp image-bmc root @ <BMC blackbird IP address I find on the card>: / run / initramfs / ?

If there's something to modify, please let me know so I don't risk making mistakes and not succeed next time either... Thank you very much Tim, very kind!

The unzipped file I think is correct because up to that point I was able to follow the Wiki guide without problems and I got the image-bmc file.

My problem is in the procedure and the commands to execute, the exact syntax because as I told you, I've never done it before, the first update was done by you in the company.

Ok thanks MPC, I'll use this and see how it behaves compared to Google translator.

quiet my english is basic as i have to use the translator to write and therefore it is obvious that something is lost on the street and i won't be offended if you tell me that you don't understand well. About Power I have a passion for this architecture and I have always been a supporter of the X86 alternatives, mine is also a battle against what everyone thinks wrong, I speak of the mass obviously not of us, that X86 just because it is the most used means that it is the best. So I've been carrying on this battle against that architecture for years and I'm proud of it. For the rest I repeat, it was an excuse to share the experiences of each country in these very problematic days, a way to call everyone back from all parts of the world and see how it goes ... Obviously I was wrong ...

« on: March 15, 2020, 10:48:17 am »
At this point I also think it is a problem related to the firmware because in themselves the CPUs are of the same family and therefore on Power 9 we have all the Power and PowerPC instructions and therefore also in my opinion with a firmware written on purpose, it is possible to run Amiga OS4 ... If anyone had the opportunity to write it it would be a nice thing ...

If you didn't understand the meaning of my post, I launched it both to praise IBM's work and to share this bad experience that is uniting us all over the world because this COVID-19 is becoming a worldwide problem and I wanted to share with the whole Power community which is located in various parts of the world. Except that there is not much participation perhaps the meaning of this post has not been understood ...

sorry guys rectification, all files have been released now so they are both new and to be installed. So I tried to do the procedure but it doesn't work because I don't know where to put the image-bmc file and he rightly doesn't find it. Can you tell me how to do it please? Thank you

Guys good morning everyone, I need a clarification because I have the impression of having made a bit of confusion and therefore not being aware of the versions. Then the procedure I described is that of version 2.00 but that version I actually have already installed it when they installed it directly in Raptor when I had to replace the motherboard. In fact, when the BMC loads, below I release version V2.00 and therefore I start from version V2.00 at this point. I have to install this directly: https: //wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Updating_Firmware#Updating_the_OpenPOWER_firmware. Give me confirmation or denial, thank you.

Dear friends of the Open Power community, seeing no participation I also tell you what reason prompted me to open this post. The excuse was that through Summit I could connect to the serious problem that now afflicts the whole world or Covid-19. Maybe I should have specified it better in the opening mass but I believed that it could be alone a way to connect to the Virus and thus be able to exchange information with you about the situation in different world countries since our community expands precisely in all parts of the globe. Since this is a general section of Power discussion, we can think of taking the opportunity to talk about this big problem. Here in Italy, as you know, I think all of you, a great epidemic broke out, we have become the second most infected country unfortunately and now we are in a really bad way. The government has had to enact a series of amendments which have unfortunately forced us and I rightly say so, not to leave the house any more except for necessities such as work, food, medical examinations and drugs. The climate is surreal, seeing few cars around the streets or anyone around, makes us understand the gravity of the situation. Yesterday 9 Chinese doctors who specialized in COVID-19 arrived in Rome and should help us fight this damned virus. They also brought medical supplies such as masks and other medical instruments. The hospitals in northern Italy are collapsing, 1100 people have died so far and now they are coming to the south from me and the hospitals are also preparing for us. Unfortunately, our government has not been able to take action before and now we are in this absurd situation ... I know there are friends from Germany like my friend MPC 7500 or Flingblackbird, others who are from other states, how are you? evolving the situation from you? We have also started the local super computer to try to find a solution as soon as possible, so not only Summit but also others are working to try to defeat this damned virus ... In any case, we currently situation is dramatic ...

« on: March 12, 2020, 03:53:27 pm »
I'll post the message that this person sent on the Italian Amiga forum, his is a direct experience so you can better understand what I said in the previous post.

today we talk about the x5000 / 20 which is the one on the market.
the x5000 in the P5020 configuration has a ram access equal to a 2001 p4. it is true that the ram it mounts are ddr3 1333mhz but not used with access results equal to 2Gb / s the situation worsens if the memory is in writing where performance drops to 1.5 Gb / s.

to make a comparison the quad g5 machine of 2005 mounts ddr2 667mhz with 7 Gb / s in r and w and 9.5 Gb / s if altivec operations are used.

also the machine mentioned above has serious problems on dma especially if pci slots are used. using pci slots the maximum allocated memory is 3.5 Gb.
the P5020 CPU manages a maximum of 512Mb on the PCI and PCIE slots. to put it simply: if we mount 2 modern GPUs that use 256Mb cad opening on the pcie and a sound card or other on another pcie slot we have serious performance problems and serious system instability.

lshw or lstopo on linux presents a totally senseless hardware topography where there is an out of the norm device with bus and bridge nesting inside each other and not on the same branch and same level as happens on any machine that is x86, arm, powerpc to the world. to be clearer imagine 1 bus and many bridges one nested in the other up to 5 nests and then end in a bridge with another bridge with the pci to pcie converter and a two pci ...

the pcie's performance is currently worse than the worst agp bus of the worst amigang machine ... writing is almost equal to cyberstormppc on amiga 4000.


the l3 cache is non-existent or better only has functions of caching the network packets .... but the beauty is that the internal lan do not work both on amigaos and on linux they are in dummy for the dma problems described above.

uboot is the one in 2014 who manages and maintains uboot is a volunteer who has serious problems with megalomania and wisdom ...
the writer has repeatedly suggested to the gentlemen cat and fox to contact m3x but with poor results ... maybe because m3x you pay the megalomaniac is free.

I forgot that the p5020 has whole performance not bad but the CPU is suffocated by the poor performance of the ram.

the cyrus is a machine that already exists in varisys what they added was a + that I think is just the beautiful and useless xorro.

for now it's all about x5000 the amiga that wasn't there and it was better that it remained that way.

This is what he posted on the forum, then I don't know specifically but I don't think the truth is far away because you understand that the guy knows what he says ...

I understood then you tell me that the processor is not enough but there are other features that prevent support for that operating system ... Too bad I would have tried it willingly, I consider Amiga OS the best operating system ever written on computers and since the machines on which turns are really badly made, unfortunately it has no possibility of further development remaining confined where it is currently ... A real shame ...! I read someone's experience on the X5000 and says that it was really negative and that these machines are badly made even in terms of architecture and that they are a joke, especially for the price they have ...
