Xilinx ML403 Error 1 LED

Hi

I just got two ML403 boards.

2nd board when turned on with the cf card in the Error 1 LED is displayed. There is no lcd output and VGA output seems scrambled.

The 1st board works as it should as described in getting started guide.

Does this mean that this 2nd board is bad?

regards.

Does the err led blink. Mine does if the cf card is not fully seated. Can you look at the compact flash connector, are any pins bent or broke? Did you try powering up the board with the three position position switch in the middle and left position. This boots the system using the Nor flash and platform flash respectively. Does the UART work at 9600 baud? Lastly, have you tried swapping the compact flash cards? There are files on the ml403 xilinx page to help reload the CF card.

Hope this helps =Newman

Try to power cycle the board a few times and see if it eventually starts up.

The problem is most likely related to Xilinx Solution Record 22179 (see

. We are working on updating the CF card with demos that have the tieoff value set correctly.

For your own designs follow the Solution Record to use the proper settings and you should not see any problems when powering the board on.
