Conor,
We have addressed the MMC issues in the datasheet which can be found here by selecting the latest board version: http://support.criticallink.com/redmine/projects/indio/wiki/Industrial_IO_Revision_Information
During the revie...

Thanks Mike. Once I saw it, I realised the reason why - that stubs on the connector line would warrant concern. Plus when you sent me the link to the versioning page on another posting, I noted the red Xs over the MMCSD0 pins but I faile... Conor O

Hi Conor,
You're right. I am trying to figure out what happened here and I see a note in a review that there was concern (not confirmed, mind you) about leaving stubs on the MMC signal path by running the nets to both the SD Card con...

None of the documented MMCSD0 connections on the J700 are wired up. Be nice if that was documented. Conor O
EB 09:47 AM MityDSP-L138 (ARM9 Based Platforms) PCB Development: RE: Intermittent boot failure w/ U-boot
I found the problem.
It was not seating well in the SODIMM socket.
That's a long story, but was my fault.
I am curious though, about which pins would cause that.
Thanks,
Emmett

Here's the SOM sheet, which I believe has everything pertinent to this issue.
U1 is providing a 67ms delay which I'm sure is overkill, but should work OK.
I get the same result w/ power-up or with the reset switch SW1 @ U1.
Also - w...

What do you have for a reset circuit? How is the reset input driven?
U-Boot shouldn't hang if there is no RS-232 activity (doesn't look at flow control or anything). I don't think it uses any kind of BAUD detect either.

I have the 1808F on our carrier board now.
It is working and communicating RS232.
About 3/4 of power-on events, it locks up.
There is no RS232 comm, and the FPGA never finishes configuration.
The same SOM on the Industrial I/O boar...

Hi Critical Link engineers:
If I probe (carefully) pin 5 of an SD card in place, I see the SDIO Clock. My scope says it's 37.5MHz and 3.5V roughly.
According to the datasheet if I then hook up a probe to J700, pin 23 on the Industr...

We have not tested such a configuration, so I don't really know. If the electrical connections honor the spec, then the only immediate concerns I would have include:
# Clearance. The top side has a couple of components that are tall...

Further to this - I have my WL1271 module hooked up to the MityDSP board. However the driver just powers up and down and up and... It successfully toggles GPIO0/5 each time (it's not 7 as documented in MityDSP baseboard docs). I took the... Conor O
