We have tried a number cards before - there's a high chance that a card
will not survive filing as it can have circuitry in that corner. So, we
bought ones that are working.
You should have a few of recovery cards or we can send you some extra if
you need.

So, your card might need a bit more filing - it probably still locks the CD
pin on the other boards.

 Hello Oleg,

 I was able to fix one of my elphels yesterday using the methods you
 suggested. Now I'm trying to do the same with my other one but when I 
 open
 the minicom console I can't type anything. Do you have any idea how to 
 fix
 this?

Re: [Elphel-support] Elphel 393 Question

[Elphel Support]

Mohamed,

It may be that the corner is not cut off enough (mechanical switch is still 
engaged) or the card does not have a resistor on D3. When selecting the card we 
X-rayed multiple brands - many cards have active components in that area and do 
not survive cutting the corner off. Does it still work when inserted into the 
normal adapter?

It works with the card, right? Then:

1. If the board is one of the first we sent you (what's the serial number?) 
then... later we had to make a minor fix. The problem was it wouldn't boot from 
flash without a card.


Try: if you have some other micro sd card at hand (w/o a cut corner) - insert 
it and see if it boots. If yes then you can send us the board and we will fix 
it.


2. Make sure you flashed boot.bin.

Hi Mohamed,

10.4.1.4 is that elphel's ip.
Do you know how to resolve this issue?

The default IP is 192.168.0.9
On the 10393 there's a micro USB port - this is serial console:
https://wiki.elphel.com/wiki/Tmp_manual  serial console access.

Do you use it? See any bootlog when power on?


Todd was changing the default IP

Hi Oleg,

I'm experiencing another issue. I'm trying to create a bootable micro sd
card. I was able to get it to work on one of my elphels (the older one that
doesn't work without a card). However it's not working with the other 3
newer elphels. They just boot using NAND memory. I filed off the corner on
the card I'm using so it's like the recovery card. Do you know what the
issue might be?

Thanks,

Mohamed

 No.
 Any network leds blinking? Or at least light up temporarily?
 Is the board getting warm?
 Do you power with the power supply board (TRACO)? Is it the same you
 used for the 1st board? Is it "18-75V" or "9-36V" - can't remember if you
 have both types.
 Did you guys manage to power 10393 with 3.3V directly (Todd asked
 about this recently)? In this case you can check the current.
