"RTG update and scandoubler support is currently on the top of our TO-DO list. ;-)" ^{[Sellen, December 12, 2022, Warp Quickstart Guide]}

"MP3 is no longer played by ARM and it will not be played in the future; it will be implemented completely differently. ... So the decoding will be done by ARM, only the data will be copied by Motorola." ^[Cizar]

WiFi support through SANA-II warpNET.device (you need a TCP/IP stack like Roadshow or Miami/Miami Deluxe). Separate driver for onboard IDE (warpATA.device). Added direct-scsi mode support for warpSD.device and warpUSBDisk.device. P96 RTG driver fix of WHDLoad "freeze" issues (requires recommended WHDLoad settings and scripts; copied to S:). Updated WarpDiag and WarpTool tools [e.g. WarpTool now uses integers rather than floating point math]. Included firmware for Warp 1240 model. Lots of other minor fixes. Unofficial note: the Warp Quickstart Guide (p. 7) updated for this release no longer recommends using HSMathLibs with Warp hardware. Warp beta tester nasedo explains why.

Additional notes on firmware v1.300:

Features:
• WiFi: You will need [a TCP/IP stack] bsdsocket.library—I suggest Roadshow. I tested mine on Roadshow, but someone else tested it with a different stack, so you can try Miami. WiFi works more like an Ethernet card, with the whole WPA/WPA2 encryption offloaded to the WiFi's internal ESP32 processor. The Amiga only handles Ethernet packets. WarpTool wifissid="your_ssid" wifipass="your_wpa_password" (that only have to be run once, or after battery removal/factory reset) then (I use Roadshow) just Network-startup (if you use DHCP). Warp will handle WiFi separately. WEP encryption will be handled by ARM, so from the Amiga side, the Warp network will seem more like unencrypted Ethernet—less computation to do on the AmigaOS side with simple configuration. The last driver I saw was able to do 4 Mbit/sec (0.5 MB/sec) on Roadshow, even without having DMA implemented yet. Technically, Amiga doesn't see the card as WiFi. The entire WiFi layer is handled by the WiFi internal ARM, with the Amiga getting plain Ethernet packets. So from the Amiga configuration, it looks and feels like configuring a wired Ethernet card.
• RTC: Now works just like any other RTC in clock port. You only have to set it once and save (requires a battery to keep time).
• By default, Warp starts in WarpATA in native mode (WarpTool IDEmode=native). This means that PCMCIA and internal IDE work side-by-side without conflict. Keep in mind that you need to change the boot priority of the disk connected to the A1200 if you wish to boot from Warp IDE. However, that may have a negative side effect—if you don't have the A1200 port populated, the Amiga will take much longer to boot, as Kickstart will delay booting due to the timeout built into the IDE port. That won't be an issue if you populate it with a non-bootable disk or IDE terminator, or if you wish, you can switch off the A1200; keep in mind it will switch off PCMCIA (WarpTool IDEmode=emulation).
• WarpTool's "TimeShift" option is obsolete (see RTC), so will probably be dropped in v1.300. WarpTool now also has different arguments:
• WarpTool IDEMode=native (for native warpATA.device)
• WarpTool IDEMode=emulation (for Gayle emulation - scsi.device)

New fan management settings:
• FanCPUTemp - Temperature target when fan runs at 100%, these settings override the fan mode set in WarpDiag. More details will be released later.
• FanMINPWM - Minimal fan percentage.

Fixes:
• WHDLoad "freeze" issues: cswarp.library could receive interrupts even after warpNET.device unload. This of course caused WHDLoad freeze. Now it should be ok.
• Card stability; "The new software [firmware v1.300] improves system stability when copying large amounts of files."
• WarpTool no longer requires a huge stack.
• A stack leak in cswarp.library, which was causing random system crashes, especially on heavy I/O (related to IDE interfaces).

Some new benchmarks (all tested with 68060 at 100 MHz):

• CF0: 1.6 MB/s
• A1200 IDE: 2.1 MB/s
• WarpATA in "native" mode: ~8.4 MB/s
• WarpSD: 13.5 MB/s
• WarpNET: Throughput is around 11 Mbit/sec (1.375 MB/sec), but strongly depends on packet size, CPU load—this is the first implementation without DMA, so improvement is possible.

Notes from Cizar:

CS-Lab notes: "Unfortunately this version doesn't support hardware MP3 playback through WarpTool, because currently only AmigaOS has access to [the] microSD and USB disk. A special version of mpega.library will be available with future updates."

Image source: Amiga Tests

MicroSD card support in AmigaOS (warpSD.device). USB disk support in AmigaOS (warpUSBDisk.device). AutoConfigTM / autoboot support for microSD and USB disk. DMA transfers for microSD and USB disk. Fast RAM / RTG memory split changed to 224 / 32 MB.

Notes:

• Fixed bug with IDEMode=A1200.
• Fixed bug with fan output level display.
• First version of cswarp.library.
• Minor optimizations and fixes in P96 driver.
• MP3 playback utility merged to WarpTool.
• WiFi configuration, no network support in AmigaOS yet, but real-time clock is synchronized to NTP server. ;-)
