I'm sure in time, this will have improvements over XeniumOS, even if it doesn't right away. I'm just happy to see new activity around this design!

GoTeamScotch Posted January 21 Report Share Posted January 21 I flashed it onto my Xenium and it's working great. A step up above the old XeniumOS. I can't wait to see what else they do with it in the future. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMartigan Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 I have an original Xenium that I've tried to load this to and I’m being told by Xenium Tools that it cannot detect my Xenium. I see where others have had a smiliar issue with an OpenXenium, but I'm wondering if the OG is able to upgrade to this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtomcat Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Which version do you have on your xenium? That may be the issue… not sure though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadMartigan Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 (edited) 2.3.1 currently. I had issues updating to that with the new Xenium Tools, but was able to get to 2.3.1 with Xenium Tools Blue. Blue goes through all the steps of 2.3.5 and says it was successful. But after the reboot, it reverts back to 2.3.1.

MadMartigan Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 (edited) @ThairannyDid it say it can’t detect your Xenium as well or just overall issues? And do you have an original xenium? I fear this could be an issue with the OGs only. Edited January 28 by MadMartigan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to be clear, you're saying that it may be a problem with the OG design of the chip, as opposed to the openXenium (Ryzee119) or Nemesis variants? Maybe I should try to flash and see what happens. I have an Open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve already done my diggin and see on Reddit where this seems to be a common theme amongst the first Xeniums. Of course they never come back and update the threads. Funny enough, a lot of it was old comments from Dtomcat18 in deferent places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(self destruct). For example the original Xenium Gold chip will not upgrade either. Need regular 2.3.2. I used to use the old text xbe version of xenium_tools with awkward ones. The CPLD will be locked also, but if you have Xilinx ISE you can erase even if locked, then re-program with the .jed of openxenium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seems to have been able to flash PrometheOS to them. https://www.ebay.com/itm/305133456600?hash=item470b5f0cd8:g:oeIAAOSwMvJk~7xR That is a 1:1 of a Xenium Ice. I have the original. While they might actually operate the same exact way, I've not received any confirmation of this yet. I really need someone with experience on an ORIGINAL XENIUM to help with this.

It is THIS utility, correct? https://github.com/Ryzee119/OpenXenium/releases @MadMartigan Edit: Sorry. I thought that you could not get ANY versions of the tools to work. I read more closely and you are saying that the version that WILL detect your chip acts like it is flashing and then boots you right back into where you were. Doh!

MadMartigan Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 (edited) I have tried that, yes, but it doesn't recognize the chip. Neither does the new Xenium tools. Xenium Tools Blue is the only program that recognizes the chip. I feel like I just keep saying this over and over lol. Addition: Recovery mode flashing works fine also, but there doesnt seem to be any recovery.bin files for 2.3.2 to allow that. That is where it switched to the FW Update.xbe method.

I have two programs giving me the cold shoulder and one playing hard to get. If only there was a recovery.bin for 2.3.2 and above. The main goal is Prometheos which is a no go without xenium Tools working.

MadMartigan Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Got this all sorted out and upgraded to Prometheos. I’ll make a new post with the explanation since this was a new issue without any info. The dev team will be addressing it as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadMartigan Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Wow I am doing what they did to me lol. My bad. I started making the post and realized that it’s most likely the next person will be having an issue with updating theirs to XOS 2.3.1 as well. That’s where all my issues started. So I should first, test to see if the Xenium tools would detect the chip now. I’m going to test again in a few and I’ll post results.
