After CALL 63012 the return to the menu with REXMGR loaded should take ~1s it 
is almost instant.   You may also want to try a cold boot just in case 
something is in the RAM.

If it is hanging (and the board is installed correctly) then there is most 
likely a dry/bad joint on the Flash memory or Xliinx part.  The module can 
appear to program OK even with dry/bad joints.   When programming with V4.9, as 
it clears the Flash memory the block count should take about 1s/block to clear. 
 If it is faster than that the module will fail, similarly when copying the REX 
software to block 0 it should not be instant.

Probably best to inspect the soldering to make sure there are no bridges or bad 
joints.  A magnifying glass and dental pick are good tools for the inspection 
process.  Double check the part orientation too.    If the module is based on 
the OSH board then check there is no copper flashing across the board edge 
pins, the routing process during manufacture can cause pin shorts along the 
side.   OSH are not really set up to build castellated boards it does work but 
needs extensive cleanup especially if they put the mouse bites on the 
castellated edge :(

Subject: [M100] Rex startup time


Just got done constructing and installing a REX using build 162. The flash of 
the Xilinx and the loading of the Rex software via Tpdd went smooth. It all 
looks right up until I actually try to do the call 63012.  The Rex is installed 
in a 32k model 100 and the previous option rom worked flawlessly, so I know the 
socket works properly.  So how long does the REX take to start? Am I just being 
impatient ?
