Beagleboard-xm not responding

Hi,
While working with Beagleboard-xm, It got hanged while booting.
After powering it again and after pressing reset button, no output is seen on console.
It won’t make any difference with and without mmc. Only LED D5 and D14 is glowing.
LED’s D7 and D6 which are near microSD wont glow.

Have you tried recreating the SD card? It could have become corrupted. What version of the BeagleBoard-xM do you have?

Hi Gerald,

Have you tried recreating the SD card? It could have become corrupted. What version of the BeagleBoard-xM do you have?

Yes, I tried with another working SD card. There is no output on serial console.
It’s BeagleBoard-xM Rev A3.

Thanks and Regards,
Ashwin

Did you try writing anything into the NAND? It is not supposed to be used, but it is still there.

Gerald

Remove the SD card and power on. If you can’t see something like “60” (Not sure about Rev A3. For Rev B, it works) on minicom, there is something wrong with your host serial port/configuration. Meantime, if you have a signal tracer, see what comes out of the beagleboard serial port.

Thank you,

Johnson

Do check your serial cable too.

Thank you,

I think No, I am not writing anything into the NAND.

Does BeagleBoard-xM Rev A3 have NAND?

Ashwin

Rev A3 has NAND. You cannot boot from it, but it is there.

Gerald

Rev A3 has NAND. You cannot boot from it, but it is there.

In case, If NAND has some random data, xM wont boot from mmc?
Which Recovery method can I try for BeagleBoard-xM?
Does user buttons work for recovery in case of xM?

Regards,
Ashwin

The User button does not work on the -xM to control the booting order.

Gerald

The User button does not work on the -xM to control the booting order.

so how do I unbrick BeagleBoard-xM?

Regards,
Ashwin

Send it in for repair via the RMA process.

Gerald

I got same problem as Ashwin,
And via console I got “60” every press “Reset” button.
How can I fix it?
Thank you so much.
