Re: [beagleboard] Booting BBB Clone

I do not have a problem with JTAG, and I have a large collection of JTAG and similar debug probes. But I rarely use them. My work is inconsistent. I move from BBB's to Opi's to Freescale K70's to STM32's to PIC32's to PPC405's to RISC-V's to TI CC1310's . It is difficult to become

Good job glad you were able to convince the client. I've been in situations like this where they wouldn't change the hardware its a goldmine if your a consultant. I'm also encouraged you were smart enough to use a jtag its folly to do board bring up without it unless you want it to take longer

Thank You. My advice to all of my clients - including this one is that - Unless you are GM and making a million of something, the hardware design should deviate the least possible from whatever reference design or development system you are using. It is just not possible to save enough

I followed these instructions and additionally set CONFIG_CONS_INDEX=4 in the defconfig. Held the boot button and cycled the power. The USR0 LED did not come up. Can I presume there is a more significant issue than that the eeprom is blank ?

Thanks; I would love to get confrontational with the hardware designers, but I am two levels removed in different companies It is possible that UART0.TX and UART0.RX have been brought out to VIA's - but they are not labeled, and I do not have a PDF or gerber of the board layout. There have

I design hardware for a living. You need to throw this back at the hardware designer and have him/her present you with a workable board. They took a SIP designed to take all the hard work out of making a BeagleBoard clone and managed to mess things up enough so that it won't boot and you can't

I have been searching arround all day and gathering more information. The "Clone" board appears to be an Octavo SIP and is partly patterned after an PocketBeagle. There is also a display similar to that of the BB 4.3 Cape. The SIP eeprom is unlikely programmed, there is no eeprom to tell

I did not do the hardware. I did not have much input to the hardware or UART0 would have been brought out I will forward that question. But I beleive the board is using the Octavio SIP. Further that makes sense with what I am seeing. Power up - power LED comes up, no other LED's. I have
