Boott 1.98 in H800MKII

2014-05-27 by Wayne Griffin

I'm having a bit of trouble with the new code.

Using the same airwalled Windows XP, Midisport 2X2, MIDI-OX rig used to flash my H800MKII from the very beginning, I attempted to install Boot 1.98 (c8670cb1e57cc0de2c68f0848c03e533) this AM. Even got a "GOOD3" message at the end.

Then sent the other .syx files...

d2389565072e2b4da3ee492fc7010235 EEPROM0.SYX
a6a3ab81c48ca8acb93c6083dfeff54b EEPROM1.SYX
fbf1edbedb8ac2a5a6af747461db0a2e EEPROM2.SYX

each returned their GOODX messages.

Please advise, thanks.

Did you swap the RAM chips over yet?
You do know that you must take the RAM chip you just flashed with the new version Boot Code and swap it over to the Boot Chip socket, right?
Otherwise, it will continue to boot on the old Boot Code and also wont load up the HAWK firmware since that chip is now the new Boot Code, not firmware for the synth.

Once you swap it over, check that it boots to the right version, then you can flash your old boot chip to the new HAWK firmware.

See the boot upgrade instructions here hawk800 / Discussion / HAWK Software:How to upgrade boot software on HAWK boards V1.5 and up

Once you send the boot.syx to the synth using the flash utility, you then have to power off Poly, open her up, and swap the boot ROM flash chip with the flash ROM right next to it.
