Re: XO1.75

Based on memory, 00 means fault in RAM.  Replace RAM.  Could also be 
electrostatic damage to CPU or RAM.  Could also be age degradation of silicon 
chips.

To find the real meaning of 00 takes reading the C code of the CForth startup 
payload, which is loaded from SPI Flash.

There is no involvement of eMMC or SD card slots.

Hi list
I dug out my XOs to check their condition and my XO-1.75 (SKU203) refuses to 
boot as if it was wiped out clean or has no microSD card at all.
The screen comes up and nothing further.
Firmware check just show a double zero [00] 
Trying to install a fresh OS from USB fails (with the same double zero)
A fast wiki search did not come up with anything relevant.
If someone can point me to the right direction I would appreciate it.
Thanks

ESC doesn't give the prompt of the Forth PROM?

Hardware diagnostics?  Rocker left cheat code.

Thank you Peter,
But there is no way to get to the Forth PROM or get hardware diagnostics or 
anything on the screen other that the 2 big zeros mentioned above.
Looks like there is no firmware in this machine! 
As if the eMMC is wiped clean or missing.

This XO has a serial port connection attached
Any diagnostics through this?

Thanks

PS: Sorry for the miss formatted response. My mailer is not list-friendly
