Keyboard Corruption
tgmaxx opened this issue · 7 comments
The core ao486_20220224.rbf causes keyboard (wired or wireless) to be corrupted, making it impossible to use the core. Some keys do nothing, most keys show wrong characters and enter key does nothing.
You need to update the BIOS manually. None of the automatic update scripts worked for me.
I tried several BIOS versions, but that made no difference. If I use the previous release of the core (20220211), it works.
I needed this one for 20220224. I also found it was loading an old one from a USB stick. Maybe you're hitting more layers too, but you definitely need this new BIOS.

it's not a real issue but partial update.
Never having encountered an ao486 bios update before, I had to figure out how to fix my system by looking at the commit logs. I think there's a real issue here, just not the one that was reported.
If the rbf and bios need to be updated together, can we have the update script do this? Or a message in the F12 menu when the bios doesn't match what the rbf was built with. If it's not a good time for changes like this, I could edit the readme.
update script DOES NOT update bios (boot0.rom) if it exists. You have to remove boot0.rom manually and then run script again.
Problem wouldn't exist if users would START to read what script writes on screen.
I removed boot0.rom and ran update.sh. It did not do anything useful. Running update_all.sh does grab a fresh bios but nothing useful was printed to the screen. What did print to the screen scrolled away pretty quick. I looked at the log and script sources and didn't see anything helpful either.
I understand you think the the needed information is being properly presented to the users, but it is not. That is the issue here. If a technical approach is not being considered at this time, just say so and I'll PR the readme.
