tsom Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I wanted to pull this into it's own topic, from I know it's been a while, but has any progress been made to this problem? I'm still seeing the issue on my 130xe and my FujiNet's (v1.0 and v1.3). Again, turning on the computer doesn't boot the FujiNet - something seems to be delaying the FujiNet from starting up in time for the 130xe to recognize it and boot off the device. If I add power to the FujiNet, so it's all booted up, (either an external cable, or the USB to my computer), since the it's already booted, it starts up just fine. If I don't have anything plugged into it, and once the XE comes up, I then type "BYE" to get to the system test, then hit Reset, I can get the FujiNet to boot. I tried my 800XL, and it does the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is anyone else experiencing this? -Thom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using the same power supply when testing both machines? What is the SIO voltage reported in the webui when powered by SIO only and when external USB power is applied?

I didn’t even know it had that value in the web interface. I will check both and let you know. I was playing with the SD card inserted and not on both. Without the sd card (I have two that have both been working just fine), I could get it to boot on power up, sometimes. (I did the reset as mentioned in the other thread (hold down B and push reset). That seemed to work-sometimes- but if I pull the FujiNet out and reinsert it, back to no booting. I’ll get you the voltages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FujiNet 1.0 - With USB Power - 4.748V Without USB Power - 4.748V FujiNet 1.3 - With USB Power - 4.812V Without USB Power - 4.812V As an aside, I'm seeing errors in the FujiNet Flasher app when trying to either show the debug output, or attempt to do an update: Nevermind that, replugging the USB adapter seems to have fixed it.

MichaG Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Maybe I've got the same problem: On my XEGS with Ultimate1MB, I could enter the Fujinet-config by pressing the right button (reset), waiting 5 seconds and typing "cold /n" in SDX. Now, this doesn't work anymore, the XEGS just boots to basic. I have to repeat it several times till it works. Even "fmall" from SDX does not work at once. I've tried it with my two FNs Version 1.6 and 1.6.1 (according to the web-interface) On my 800XL (Bibomon 320k) they both work as expected.

tsom Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 With awesome help from @mozzwald, I discovered what may be a possible cause… I plugged in a blank FujiNet, without an SD card, and it booted right up, to the WiFi selection screen. Yay. I then shut down, inserted my sd card, and…. Back to not booting up. Boo. I tried removing the sd card, but it retained the WiFi settings and still didn’t boot. I then did a reset (hold down B until the leds go off then hit C). Power down and back up booted up fine again. This time I selected my WiFi, entered the password and got to the Config screen. Power down and back on… no booting. after testing, I believe that it has to do with connecting to the WiFi that is causing the delay in booting. If I reset, I can power cycle over and over and it boots up. Once I add the WiFi (either selecting it or inserting the Sd card, no boot) I tested my old 1.3 version and it does the same.

I was able to move the wifi connect out of the regular setup and run it after the SIO service has started. This shaved 100-150ms off the boot time for me. Here is a test build you can try by running Fujinet Flasher from the command line. Let me know if it works FujiNet-Flasher /path/to/fujinet-ATARI-0.5.slow-boot-fix.zip fujinet-ATARI-0.5.slow-boot-fix.zip 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsom Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Success!! That firmware seems to have done the trick. Rebooted several times before and after adding the WiFi info, and after inserting my SD card! This was on the new device, I’m going to flash my v1.0 and see but I have hope! thanks!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
