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?

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?

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.

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)?

On one of my elphels, when I use the recovery card it works fine but when I remove the card the feed is very laggy. Do you know what the issue is? It's hard to say without seeing the actual bootlog. If you boot from recovery card, uploaded and flashed boot.bin, u-boot-dtb.img, devicetree.dtb and uImage, but not rootfs.ubi - I would expect some kind of "kernel panic" on any of the boards. Also, when I uploaded the files to ipaddress/update_software.html the rootf file would not upload. I don't know if that is a problem.The Note in my previous letter addresses this problem - the upload limit in php on the recovery card. There are 3 options: 1. Copy rootfs.ubi manually http://camera-ip/update_software.html upload all files except rootfs.ubi from PC terminal window: ...$ scp rootfs.ubi root@camera-ip:/var/volatile/html/update/go back to http://camera-ip/update_software.html - hit 'verify' and you should see rootfs in the list 2. Increase php upload limit of the recovery image on the card 2a. when boot from the recovery card: boot from the recovery card In the browser: http://camera-ip/phpinfo.php - find: post_max_size and upload_max_filesize - they are 128M probably. from PC terminal window: ...$ ssh root@camera-ip Edit the /etc/php/php.ini - you will see that the limit is less than rootfs size - increase it so it will read: upload_max_filesize = 512M post_max_size = 512Msync command just makes sure changes are stored on the card. root@elphel393:~# syncrestart web server (or reboot) root@elphel393:~# /etc/init.d/lighttpd restartIn the browser: http://camera-ip/phpinfo.php - check if those variables have changed to 512. In the browser: http://camera-ip/update_software.html - upload rootfs, and other files as well 2b. If you have a linux os and a usb card reader - insert in PC, mount rootfs partition and edit /mountpoint/etc/php/php.ini as in 2a. 3. Update recovery card. This option requires linux os and a usb card reader... and a few programs installed: parted, kpartx insert the card - check with dmesg the device name, you will see something like this: [83470.681265] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdb] 7806976 512-byte logical blocks: (4.00 GB/3.72 GiB) [83470.686369] sdb: sdb1 sdb2If the card is discovered by PC as mmcblk0 then the script will not work - as I didn't cover this case. Open konsole, using 'cd' navigate to write_bootable_mmc.py in the unpacked firmware image (elphel393_20180130/mmc/) ...$ sudo ./write_bootable_mmc.py /dev/sdb (sdb as reported by dmesg - this is important) After the script is done - boot this from this card.

I am trying to update them. Do you have a link for the files or any instructions on how to do so? Before updating: How are you trying to update them? What image do you use? Update instructions: 1. The latest is 20180130 - download and unpack archive from here: https://community.elphel.com/files/393/20180130/ (a list of firmware images can be found here) 2. Inside there's readme.md with instructions and images for SD card and the internal flash. Note: if you have an old recovery card you will probably need to create a new one as rootfs grew a bit bigger than php's upload limit. There's a script (write_bootable_mmc.py) that will partition the card - it's linux only. Alternatively you can increase the limit: boot from the recovery card (default ip address is 192.168.0.9 - change with ifconfig if needed) ssh root@camera-ip-address (using nano or vi) edit /etc/php/php.ini: upload_max_filesize = 512M post_max_size = 512M save, restart lighttpd or reboot, then 3. 3. Once boot from a recovery card: go to http://camera-ip-address/update_software.html upload all files from nand/ folder hit flash, wait until done power off, remove card, power on Let me know if you have any further questions.
