Hi,

When i boot from CoffinOS 58, a dialog box appears to flash 2.13RC1 core. Only V500 button or cancel, are available.

Is it a Bug from CoffinOS ? Because 2.13RC1 is not official for V600 V2.

Thx

I checked the start-coffin in s: directory and there is a check of variable $VBoardID to detect the Vampire Card and if return 2 then V600 is detected and V600_x11_213RC1 is proposed to Flash.
I verified in S:Cores and the Firmware is here.

So, first of all, there is a Firmware RC213RC1 for V600 included in Coffin R58.

Second, when i Launch an Echo $VBoardID, i have a return 1, that the reason why program propose to Flash with the V500 Firmware.

Someone can confirm please ? And can i flash the Core 213RC1 ?

Thx

i'm not worried, i only want to understand :)

Coffin R58 propose to flash with a V500 Core my V600, so is it a problem with the Start-Coffin Script or with parameter setted in VBOARDID ?

The specified Core in the script and in S: directory is V600x11_r7645b_gold213rc1.jic. This Core is not the latest Core specified on Apollo website. is it recommended by the the team ?

I flashed this core to test and the return of vcontrol is 213RC2. :o

I only return a few errors.
