RR-NET is not showing Codenet information (C= while boot not working either).

Hi,
I just received my RR-NET MK3 and plugged it correctly in the C64 (Ultimate 64) directly.
It showed the Codenet information correctly and when holding C= key I could change the IP address.
However, after that after a reset the Codenet information is not shown anymore and holding the C= key during boot doesn't do anything.
However, DHCP is still working with Guruterm so the card is working, only the codenet information and the C= are not working anymore.

Any idea what could be wrong?

I checked but that's not the case. It'a an Ultimate 64 and all electronics are clean.
It worked before but somehow after configuring the IP address the ROM won't start anymore.
Could there be anything else so solve this? Maybe reflashing the firmware?
If so where can I download the current firmware that was on my RR-net card?
The sticker on the box says ]74[ I guess that's the serial number?

Please advise, I just received it today and was really looking forward to use it.

The (actually new and updated) firmware can be found here:

However, reflashing the cartridge is not supported by us - it may not work on certain C64 board revisions and then you might need another C64 to revive it after that. That said, it is completely untested on the U64 board, and that board is known to be problematic with various expansion port devices, so that might actually be the problem.

I am able to flash the ROM. I tried both the original as well as the custom one (where you can set your IP address).
The flash passes both the writing and verification stages. I guess this means all is fine with the RR-Net card (am I correct?).
But still no codenet message when powering up (with of course disconnected jumper when booting after flashing).
Very weird as it has worked in the first place.

Best thing I can offer is to send a unit to Gideon for testing and updating his core.

I think that would be really great if you could send a unit to Gideon. Many more Ultimate 64 users would be happy, I'm sure

I've got more information about the issue:
- I can succesfully flash the eprom and once finished the Codenet-information is shown when I do a reset (with the jumper stil bridged). I even can use DHCP wit the firmware I generated with the rrnet-tool.
- As soon as I power-off and switch on again, the Codenet-information is not shown (and none of the functions when holding the C=, or control keys work).

So the only way I can use the RR-net menu is to not-poweroff after flashing (only reset maximum).

Maybe this gives some insight in the problem. I hope you can help me.

Thanks in advance.

Gideon sure does. I hope his gMail address is still active - if anyone has an alternative one, please PM me. We last eMailed in 2017, and eMail addresses are kinda volatile...

Yeah if you have his emailaddress (firstname.lastname@gmail.com for GIdeon), then it's the proper address.
But indeed, he's quite active in the 1541 Ultimate-Facebook group.
Just let me know if you need help (I'm just as Gideon from Holland).
It would be a great addition to the Ultimate 64 when this RR-net cart is working (and could result in more customers for you I guess).

Ok, I found the proper Ultimate 64 setting to be able to programm the eprom with the original firmware. That works.

But, flashing the 8K ROM file which is generated with the tool does not work.
What are the technical differences between the original ROM and generated ROM file?
Are they using different memory spaces?

Yeah sure, I can't upload attachments so here is a 'cat' from the configuration file of the Ultimate 64:
