Using a USB displayport adapter it’s now possible to get to the desktop on the IGEPv5 port. Tasks is showing about 1.9GB of free memory. :-) |

Just the standard driver. Gets loaded from ‘PreDesk’. |

Unfortunately, no success with the light IgepV5 board . UDLVideo freezes the system. Whether started in Predesk or by hand. |

Ok, at this time it works if I boot the board with UDLVideo and monitor configure in Predesk and a unplug adapter. I wait a minute and RISC OS has boot to the desktop (the Keyboard LED is on). Then I plug the adapter and press [F12] and then [Return]. Works fine.
*cache off makes (m)any things a little bit slower but also a little bit stable. |

The RISC OS port to IGEPv5 (OMAP5) is running much more stable now. Stable enough to use as my main RISC OS machine. |

@Chris, which IGEPv5 board are you using? |
Chris Gransden (337) 1202 posts |
It’s the full edition. |

I use the light one but I can not confirm all the points. The last ROM is much more stable but the board will not work with my main monitor (Acer HQ and not with my Pi LCD, all other boards are working with). Only the Lapdock and my TV (only in TV mode not in monitor mode) will work with. All things also in Ubuntu. |

The RISC OS port to IGEPv5 (OMAP5) is running much more stable now. Stable enough to use as my main RISC OS machine. There is also working native HDMI. What is the status of this port please? I am thinking of buying an IGEPv5 board. Hopefully the SATA AHCI module developed for the ARMX6 will be ported to this machine soon? Will a ROM and firmware be added to ROOL’s download pages? |

The OMAP5 port is not ready. Willi search the reasons for (m)any data |
