Neuros Technology Forums

Hello,
          I just received my Neuros OSD and I can't keep it from rebooting. When I first powered it on, it was ok until I started entering settings.  It displays a series of loading files messages, then it displays "Loading mpeg4sp_g7xx codec" then reboots. After about a minute it starts over. I loaded then newest firmware just in case. I'm running 03.20.020. Help!

Sorry, just to check. You mean:
1. Your OSD is runing 3.20-0.20 version and you can read the version number from GUI on TV?
2. OSD can boot up normally, but always  reboot when displaying 'Loading mpeg_g7xx codec' every time?
3. OSD reboot even if you do nothing?

Thanks

Hi,
      Yes, thats it exactly. The Neuros OSD will boot to a pixalated boot screen. If I hit the Home button it will eventually bring up the Home screen. At the bottom of the screen it will display a line of text "Loading" then the name of a file. When it tries to load the file "mpeg4sp_g7xx_codec" it will partially fill the loading bar then everything will freeze. After a few seconds I'll hear a click and the boot screen will appear again. The Neuros OSD came with the latest firmware, but I flashed the firmware just in case to see if it would fix the problem. No luck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi folks,

I received my Neuros today and I have similar problems.
Came with latest firmware, keeps rebooting.
At the moment of reboot the green LED goes off a second and there is a click.
Could it be power-supply?
Supply is here 220 Volt, according to specifications this should work but I suspect that this is the problem.
It comes to me that the plugin-powersupply is different from earlier versions.
Situation gets better after trying for a while.
When connecting to Ethernet immediately reboot again.
Flashing back to firmware 3.20.0.19 makes it all worse.

I too have a similar issue.  I am in NA (so 120V, NTSC)

1) Get the lower resolution.
2) It flips to the higher resolution and initializes the 3 (?) subsystem (at least I think that is what the graphics represent).
3) It BRIEFLY (<1sec) shows the input video and then reboots.

NOW I did have it working for a short while, enough to configure the IPaddress and I telnet'ed to the system and poked around.  (I havent been able to get the Serial interface working (BTW: Why does the serial cable that is shipped a MALE end?????????).  However, the system started behaving the old (rebooting) way after I purposefully rebooted the system and I havent been able to get it back since.  I have tried MANY times to reset the system (unpluggled and battery not connected) to no avail.  I will pick it up again in a few days.

Update:
I found another power-supply, but same problem.

Situation appears to be much better using firmware 3.20-0.16, but that firmware supports no PAL and if I make any input or ethernet connection: reboot.

Been meaning to post here but I've been a little busy with other things. I recieved my OSD hooked it up to the TV and all was well. Having said that, I can't hog the living room TV for obvious reasons so I took the OSD back to my room and connected it.  What I noticed is that it seems to be an issue if the device was powered on before the TV (or without a TV connection) . I'm not sure why but I am using the 20 firmware and I think this has to do with the PAL/NTSC auto-detection? Perhaps something else...I need to finish off a few things and then get round to redoing my ubuntu install (hello edgy 8) )then starting on this.

Also noticed that despite having reset the router and left the OSD off the network for ages, the DHCP address seems to be wrong; I initially did not reserve any IP but I do now and my leases have always been for 12 hrs but for some reason the OSD seems to be forcing the old IP on (not sure about the cause of the issue exactly but my router will hopefully be replaced one of  these days).

Same problem... the OSD was working for a few days, but now it keeps rebooting nonstop. .20 firmware. Doesn't matter whether memory cards are plugged in or not. Any suggestions??

Hal9000,
3.20-0.20 seem to have this bug when loading "Loading mpeg4sp_g7xx codec" , but it is hard to meet. Neuros will fix it.

I guess other issues, maybe cause since power wall, please sure power cable has been plug in completely. Thanks

To be clear: powersupply-issues are ruled out for me now.
I tried another powersupply and the plug is put in the machine firmly and completely.
That was the first I checked and double-checked.

When I use firmware 3.20-0.18 or higher: reboot at RANDOM moment during boot process after the initial screen, most of the time before the main-menu appears, sometimes during loading of modules.
This happens even if I only connect power-supply and no television (I can hear it rebooting by the click)

Only a few times I got it running under 3.20-0.20, but when I connected network immediately reboot.

When I use firmware 3.20-0.16 system boots fine, but reboots immediately when I connect network-cable or input video device.
When I tried to playback Mp3 on mem-card: reboot.
When I show picture on mem-card: reboot

System is completely useless at this moment!

By the way:
- I tried other network-cable, router etc. but no difference
- I use NTCS/PAL television (multi-system, NTSC/PAL output-setting of the Neuros makes no difference)
- I tried both NTSC and PAL input source

The reboot issue doesn't seem to have anything to do with loose power cords, media cards, etc.

Now my main concern: If a new firmware is the solution, how do you actually upgrade to it when at no time you have access to the file browser and connected media cards? In my case the OSD continuously reboots well before it displays the module loading or switches to the menu.

Fstolze:

No worry about updating:
- Download the upk file into media card;
- Save it as /newpackage/r3.upk;
- While media card plugged in, recycle the power;
- System will reboot into upgrade mode;

This procedure works fine and stable for me.

As far as I can see in my case 2 possibilities:
1. Some minor change in hardware which needs update in firmware
2. Hardwarefailure, for example in memory

Good Luck!

Add me to the list. My unit will stay on all night no problems, I can play movies from my IBM microdrive, but just as soon as I plug in an ethernet cable, it goes into an endless reboot mode. The ethernet seems to work from the boot menu, and I can DHCP and get an address, but booting into the OSD interface continually reboots the unit.

forget network protocol support... haha. Anyone else think the problem is isolated to just the ethernet?

No, mine reboots endlessly without any Ethernet connection or networking setup.

ok, I got home, powered it up, disconnected the ethernet, and now it endlessly reboots. I wouldn't expect this from a brand new box that previously worked. After much dismay, I think I'm gonna return this thing and persue other options. The fact that it's not completely open source bothers me, and it's months away from being fully usuable as a network device.

Best of luck, it's a good idea.

Update:

Flashed in newest hardware 3.25.0.23
And all it does: Reboot during powering-up, even when nothing but TV connected.
I cannot go back now to earlier firmware anymore, somehow the package is refused.

I downloaded version from today.  it upgraded fine. but it still reboots all the time. brand new unit 1st time user of 1 day...

Same issue. I had 3.20-0.20 and it was working fine for the first few days.  But the last couple of days it's been rebooting endlessly. I tried upgrading to latest firmware 3.25-0.23 and still seems to be rebooting unless the upgrade wasn't completed in time. I can't even do an emergency upgrade.

Very frustrating!

Hi Hal900, njk,  fstolze, jrog, I guess your OSD issues are caused by SW, please update to 3.25-0.23 and make sure Ethernet setting is DHCP or Statics IP is right value , such as 192.168.1.100 , before ethernet plugged in. Thanks.

NeuroTom, after update to 3.25-0.23, the symptom is same 3.20-0.20? I means OSD is loading codec when reboot?
 roleeper, mfm1996, I can't make sure what happened on your OSD. Could you give more detailed here, such as what status OSD is when rebooting, what is OSD'S interface or menu when rebooting? Thanks.

Guys, could anyone capture terminal information from OSD serial interface when issue exist? Can you get me by email: sweng at neuros dot com dot cn. Thanks again.

Reboot at random spot during boot process, always after the initial screen is gone and the unit switches to high-ress.
It seems newer firmwares only make it worse.
Comes to me as mem problem.
Network configured as stated.
I returned the unit to ThinkGeek today.
I'll follow what happenes next, maybe I come back later.
If I order one again, I shall insist on testing before shipping.

anyone with the patience to help us with connecting serial to a PC, would be deeply appreciated, we'll send you a null modem adapter.  Given that we have 20 units internally and haven't seen this issue, I'm concerned that there's an environmental component to this problem.  Alternately, please return the unit directly to us (and we'll exchange or refund at your option) we really need to see some of these units or get diagnostic information to debug.

I updated to the Nov 2 release (emergency upgrade /newpackage/r3.upk) and it did seem to upgrade and then it started it endless reboot cycle.  Actually it upgraded twice because after it rebooted I forgot to take out the media card and had to wait until it finished again.  I can't change the ethernet setting (because I cannot get to the settings screen).  I tried with and without the cable pluged in.  The brief moment I did have it working (a week ago) I had set the IP address to static.

I get essential the same things I described earlier.

I will try and get a cable on it today.  BTW why did you ship a serial cable with a male end?  I would be all ready except that I need to go and get a F-2-F adapter.  Assuming I can get that working what would you like me to do?  Again assuming I can get it working I may be able to give you access.  Baby steps however.  I will let you know when/if I get the serial cable hooked up.

Okay ignore my comment re: the serial cable.  I didnt realize that PC stores sell null-modem cables generally as F-2-F
Here is the capture file.  In around line 290 you will see it reboots.  Let me know how else I can help.  I havent gotten around to putting a dev environment on any of my boxes, and likely wont for several days.

Here is another capture file.  It shows 3 reboots all around the same area.

Maybe this info helps too:

I had the endless reboot effect. I did an emergency upgrade to the lastest firmware version (.23), after which the OSD seemed to be ok again. After a while I plugged in a USB flash drive and tried to play a WMV file from it. It displayed video for a fraction of a second, after which the endless rebooting started again.

I'm happy to help debugging it in any other way.

There is a known "random" rebooting problem.  I believe all teh units have it, but just not as severe as what you all are seeing.  We are hoping to build a new release on monday that hopefully will solve it.  If not, obviously we'll keep working on it until we do.  Gao was saying something about "time-stamp overruns" and while I know what those four words mean in isolation, taken together the are pretty much jibberish to me, so you can see I'm going to be a big help in this process.

njk,
Appreciate for your help.  It is one SW issue from your terminal information.  Neuros will try to fix on version ??-0.24.
Thanks again.

No, problem.  Anything you need I will have some time tonight.

yup.. just got mine today, booted it up, when I plugged in the ethernet, it went into endless reboot cycle.  I unplugged it, downloaded new firmware (.23 I believe) to a mem card, upgraded system, and all it does now is reboot.  anyone got a resolution to this yet?

Exactly what I had.
I returned my unit, but maybe better mail to Joe Born (see his earlier reply in this topic)

The engineers are telling me that the endless reboot issue will be resolved in the next firmware version due out week of 11/13.  If problems persist after upgrade we may have to consider replacing your devices at our expense.  Let's see how things go once you have upgraded.

I have been following the threads closely, and just wanted to add my experiences to the list.  Upon receiving my unit, the firmware supplied was extremely unstable, so I upgraded to the Nov 02 .23 release.  This enabled the unit to see my USB thumb drive and I was able to read and write to it after a fashion.  Short recording were sometimes successful, but randomly were out of sync with the audio.  I was primarily writing avi files at various quality settings.  The longest recording that I have made was about 15 minutes before the unit decided to reboot.

The unit has been in reboot hell from the moment it arrived.  Not being able to use the fancy remote control to turn it off, I listened to endless reboot cycles with the attendant clicking sound for most of one night before I finally pulled the power connector.  I sincerely hope that help is on the way with the next firmware release.  Perhaps these early units should have been given away to those willing to commit to working at making them perform on a minimum level before they were offered for sale.  I realize that this is a work in progress BUT, the advertising did say that the unit would be able to record successfully out of the box.

I don't want to have to return my unit.  I want it to work.  I will remain patient for a while longer.

I just received my OSD and it seems to have the same problem described here by others.
It comes up with the bootup screen and starts to load files. sometimes it completes the file load and sometime it does not.
The unit clicks and then I get pass thru video from my input source. A few seconds latter it clicks again and I get the OSD bootup screen and we begin the endless bootup cycle all over again.
I can sometimes get into the setup menu for a Min or two befor it reboots itself sometimes I can't even do that.
The only conections I have on the OSD are Power,Video in and out and I have a 1 Gig CF inserted.
I have not been able to update to the latest firmware but it doesn't sound like that would help even if I could.
The Packaging looked Great, Too bad the hardware/firmware can't even function properly as a basic recorder yet.
Very disapointing !

Just got my OSD today. Tried powering it up, got past the splash screen, got as far as the main menu where it started loading a few files and 'click'. Keeps rebooting at this stage before I can do anything.
Downloaded firmware 3.25-0.23 and followed the emergency upgrade procedure.
After this upgrade it seemed to get slightly further in the boot process (at least the progress bar gets further) but still reboots before I can do anything. I think its getting as far as loading dm320 (or something like that).
Don't have my serial adaptor yet so can't give any more information than that at the moment.
Very disappointed, was looking forward to playing with the OSD  :(
