If you have a Bone, you coud carefully unsolder it and dead bug that into your board.

Great idea, I do have a dead Bbone or two that can be cannibalised, I’ll do that.

Patch in EEPROM to protoboard, verify contents against working Bbone, see if boot up is resolved.

Thanks again everyone for the ideas.

It was mlo. Found the read_eeprom() function, plugged in the following at the top:

О©╫О©╫О©╫ header.magic = 0xEE3355AA;
О©╫О©╫О©╫ strcpy(header.name,“A335BONE”);
О©╫О©╫О©╫ strcpy(header.version,“00A3”);
О©╫О©╫О©╫ strcpy(header.serial,“24120001”);
О©╫О©╫О©╫ strcpy(header.config,“00000000000000000000000000000000”);
О©╫О©╫О©╫ return 0;

And everything boots up perfect. So, no dead bug mods, no EEPROM, just a simple code fix and all is good to go.

Thanks again everyone for your ideas, suggestions and comments and especially to Gerald and your team, you have a great product line (Beagle) and a great reference to build up from that design.
