I spend about 7 days working on this problem thinking it was the way I
created the sd-card, my power supply, sc-card speed, Micron Memory,
etc.
Finally I got a a new BB_xM rev B board and it works great (so far).
With the same sd-card, same build, same power supply it seems to work
fine.
So I wanted to know, before I send the board back to Special Computing
does anyone want me to do anymore debugging on the board to determine
exactly what the problem is. I would be happy to help if someone has
some test they want me to run.
BTW: The new board (that works) does not appear to have the Micron
Memory.
Rerquest an RMA from BeagleBoard.org. They are the people that helps you do the digging before it is returned for any sort of repair and they do th erepair, not Special Computing. Also, there is no -xM Rev B. The correct revsion is Rev A3.
On one of my boards it has a white sticker on it that says A2 (this is
the board that does not work) and on the working board the white
sticker says "B". Also on the back of the board it says "Rev B".
There are three stickers. The Revision number which should says A3 or A2, the assembly number that should say -00 or -01 and the serial number. The PCB is a rev B, but the assemly is Rev A3.
You are correct. Rev B boards are starting to trickle out. There is a different processor revision on the Rev B board, ES1.1. Other than that it is the same as the Rev A3 board. We could no longer get the Es1.0 silicon.
