In the morning I got text message from DHL courier with request to contact about package. This was total surprise as I did not had idea what it can be…
Few minutes ago package arrived and I now I finally know what it is and who sent it. It is brand new BeagleBoard C3 (so newest version) from German division of Texas Instruments. Why I got it? It is not written anywhere in package… I know that I am not the only one — Nils also got such package.
What will I do with it? For start I will replace B7 version which I got from Bug Labs with C3 to get USB EHCI port working instead of my hacked OTG cable. In next week I will get some extra hardware for it so it will be more in use that B7 is now.
I think that I will try to stack B7 with C3 with BeagleBUG module — but this will make my current case for BB obsolete ;(
It was looking like board is broken:
Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.4.2 (Feb 19 2009 - 12:01:24) Reading boot sector Loading u-boot.bin from mmc U-Boot 2009.01-dirty (Feb 19 2009 - 12:23:21) I2C: ready OMAP3530-GP rev 2, CPU-OPP2 L3-165MHz OMAP3 Beagle board + LPDDR/NAND DRAM: 256 MB NAND: 256 MiB Using default environment MUSB: using high speed In: serial usbtty Out: serial usbtty Err: serial usbtty Texas Instruments X-Loader 1.4.2 (Feb 19 2009 - 12:01:24)
Never mind did I load U-Boot from SD card or from NAND the situation was the same — reset loop…
The solution? Throw away usb cable, connect BB to direct port instead of hub or use external AC to provide power. Now board boots and works fine.
delete the u-boot on the mmc and retry
It was not u-boot problem but power.
