I've not used angstrom for a while, but I'm fairly sure I had something newer than 2012.12 on a previous board. Maybe as something I upgraded to? > What wonders me then is why circuitco is still spending money on putting > epoxy around the mini USB connector on the BBB.

I have some A5A boards that have the glue at the micro-HDMI connector too but CircuitCo dont seem to do that now either. There will always be some heavy handed person out there who can rip the connector off no matter how hard you try to secure it. So it's a simple cost/benefit thing. Does the cost of paying someone to glue them down outweigh the cost of RMA's. I'm sure both CircuitCo and e14 have their own numbers and ideas on that. What do you think the cost difference will be for labor in China vs the USA? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
