onboard static RAM and this indicates its failure. This is a failure with the Europa chip
itself. As with boot code A

programmed in. This code can come up if a prior Europa firmware update failed or the
Europa image is bad. Not to worry! This just means the Europa Firmware Update Utility
needs to send the board a good image!

1 Bad patch data found in flash and corrected. This usually indicates that Europa has
trashed a patch – most likely due to a bug. Note that this code is expected after a first
time Europa installation! This is because the Roland code does not validate its patches or
presets, and Europa does. If E

failing or has failed. Corrections can occur even if write protect is thrown, because the
flash writability is not controlled by the memory protect switch.

4 Bad Europa board settings found and defaults loaded. Europa uses part of the NVRAM
for storing current board state and settings. This code is shown when the area contains
bad/bogus settings. This failure can also be shown when the board is first powered up
after Europa is installed, the controller board’s battery is failing, or if a boot to the Roland
code was performed.

4 listed above,
the checksum of the board settings area is bogus. Checksums are not reliable enough to
detect all corruptions, so both checking in-block data and entire block data is needed.
