Europa image is bad, not present, or TAPE + WRITE (force Firmware Transfer Mode) was held on board powerup. The Jupiter 6 is waiting for a Europa image to be 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!

Europa User Guide | Power up diagnostics and actions |
A-3Internal “external” CPU RAM failure. The Europa chip contains an additional 1K of onboard static RAM and this indicates its failure. This is a failure with the Europa chip itself. As with boot code A-1, contact Synthcom Systems, Inc. to arrange replacement if still under warranty.
Group B boot codes
The B group of boot codes indicates that Europa is executing firmware transfer mode. It is indicated by the B BANK LED being lit solid and one 1-8 NUMBER LED lit solidly with all other NUMBER LEDs blinking. All B boot codes are recoverable:
B-1
B-2
B-3
B-4
B-5
Group E boot codes
The E group of boot codes indicates diagnostic failures that Europa has detected and corrected. For example, it is possible for E-6to be shown, (requiring pressing a button/key), followed by E-2(also requiring pressing a button/key). Pressing a button or key will cause the board to continue the bootup process. More than one E code can be shown simultaneously as well as sequentially:
E-1Bad 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-1codes are persistent, it may indicate the Europa chip is 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.
E-2Indicates operator has pressed the PORTAMENTO button and powered the Jupiter 6 on
–causing the contents of the NVRAM to be copied in to flash. This is not a failure! It is positive feedback to a user requested action.
E-3Bad preset data found in flash and corrected. This is identical to E-1in terms of root cause.
E-4Bad 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.
E-5Bad Europa board settings checksum – defaults loaded. Similar to code E-4listed 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.
