Question about the Sum A1200 adapter

VoltureX · 13 February 2016, 22:24

There are not much info on how to update the firmware in the SUM A1200 adapter. Could someone please explain me how to do it?

If I use a male to male USB wire it will not be recognised in SumFlasher.

Thanks
Volt.

Hi VoltureX,

See http://www.vesalia.de/e_suma1200.htm

"An additional feature of the adapter is its "Bootloader" function allowing future firmware upgrades.

The Sum adapter comes with a dedicated configuration mode, which becomes available when R-Shift and Pause keys are pressed simultaneously.

User preferences are saved to the built-in EEPROM, thanks to which the device is already configured the next time you reconnect it."

Maybe this will help.

Regards, Michael

I am not sure if the Sum A1200 needs to be socketed in the Amiga to update the firmware via the Windows Bootloader. I want to be 100% sure so nothing burns.

Found out the Sum had to be socketed in the Amiga and had to press a button on the little board to get into Bootloader and then attach it to the PC via male to male USB wire
