ODYSSEY X86J4105 keeps turning ON after BIOS update

[TSDRaf]

I updated both the BIOS and the EC and now the system keeps powering ON, either because I connect a power cable and the device starts (like if its configured to turn on on power), or some time after i power off the device (without removing power) the device restarts…

Please help to resolve this!

NOTE:
Initially I updated the BIOS and EC in order to resolve another issue where the device sets the refresh rate of the display to the max that the connected screen supports.

for example, I use a 144 hz main screen, when I connect the Odyssey it sets the refresh to 144 (which the device doesnt support) and i loose screen altogether - happens after windows update display driver install.

to resolve this, use teamviewer to lower the refresh rate when you connect a higher refresh rate screen…

So, is your board working properly？

[TSDRaf]

The initial problem remains (refresh rate),

And now I have a greater problem, after I updated the BIOS and EC, the system keeps powering ON, either because I connect a power cable and the device starts (like if its configured to turn on on power), or some time after i power off the device (without removing power) the device restarts…

Can you help?

[Bruce.Qin]

Pls shoot a picture of the BIOS screen. You can remove all power then retry.

Here is a BIOS screenshoot, hope it helps to identify the problem

thanks in advance

Problem still remains, any news on how to solve or a new bios?

[TSDRaf]

I need help with this issue…

[Bruce.Qin]

Sorry about that, we will release a new EC and BIOS later.

[TSDRaf]

Im not sure, but i installed the latest Bios first and then the “auto startup” feature started, and i left it like this for a week (always with this problem), only after this time I installed the latest EC (maybe would fix the issue…), issue continue… so I dont know if EC is related…

If you guys agree I will install the new EC firmware provided on the Link:

And I will wait for the BIOS update that you mentioned, any idea on the timeframe for this new BIOS?

Thanks in advance

Hi,

from https://wiki.seeedstudio.com/ODYSSEY-X86J4105-Installing-OS/

I installed the following BIOS:
SD-BS-CJ41G-300-101-C
(BIOS Update was not automated like mentioned on the wiki, but OK…)

Tried to Install the latest EC (SD-EC-CJ41G-M-101-K) from the provided package, not possible…
After troubleshooting the startup.nsh found this:

@echo -off
for %a run (0 15 1)
if exist fs%a:\SD-EC-CJ41G-M-101-J then
fs%a:
cd SD-EC-CJ41G-M-101-J
cls
FEC64.nsh
endif
endfor

clearly someone forgot to update the script for the new version,
on the script I replaced the two wrong SD-EC-CJ41G-M-101-J for SD-EC-CJ41G-M-101-K
and flash worked.

QUESTIONS/ISSUES:
1 - For the BIOS startup F7 option is not working anymore
(after BIOS update)

2 - Boot order on BIOS is not respected anymore
(after BIOS udpdate)

3 - For the EC, was the script the only “wrong” file? could there be more wrong files on the package?
I got no error during the flash procedure…

INFO:

• So far the Odyssey did not auto start, but lets wait…

• Haven’t used the Odyssey after the update yet so cant say if anything else is bad/broken now…

attached is picture of the new bios

Thanks in advance

As known issues is F7 problem.

Fix boot order can not be changed problem in BIOS screen.

[TSDRaf]

When is the new bios coming out?

About the ec package update, everything else is ok on the update package?

Dario

Note: I think im gonna apply for Odyssey testing services…

[Bruce.Qin]

On the way now.

[TSDRaf]

Thanks in advance
Dario

[Bruce.Qin]
