Re: [Elphel-support] Issues with Compact Flash installation
Dear Riccardo, You have selected the correct CF card, so the problem is not with the card, but with either 10353, 10369 or 103691 boards. We can offer to send you all 3 boards for replacement. It is most likely that only one board is responsible, but we recommend to assemble the 3 replacement boards separately and test the CF cards with them. After that you can detect which one board you need to replace in the camera, and I will give you the instructions on how to return the other 2 and the replaced board. Please let us know if you will have any other questions.

Re: [Elphel-support] Issues with Compact Flash installation
Dear Olga, Thank you very much for your kind reply. So you think there's no chance this issue can be linked to a software bug? If this is so, please let me know where I can send you the address info for the shipment of the boards. The deadline for this project is getting really near, and I didn't imagine to be forced to pause the development because of a hw problem. It would mean the world to me if you could ship the package with a speedy courier as soon as possible. I will promptly ship back to you the unused replacement boards and the non-functioning one as soon as I discover which board is faulty.
