OLINUXINO-Micro not booting on SD, 2.5V missing

[GuiQuad06]

Hello,

I just bought some imx233-olinuxino-micro board for having fun and making personnal projects.

I burn a SD Card (8Gb) with a core-image-minimal very basic image by following the user manual. I let bootstrap as factory (boot by SD by Default).

I got this message looping on the DEBUG UART :
"Data Abort
r14_HSLCLC"

I really have no idea on what is it going on, but, I ran basic static tests on the board and it seems that the 2V5 generated by the internal imx233 DCDC is missing !

Have you guys ever met this issue ?

Thanks & Regards
Guillaume

What is that Linux image that you tried? First try with the official image from this archive:

https://ftp.olimex.com/IMX233_Images/ARCH/imx233_kernel_2.6_ARCH_FS_WIFI_release_5.img.7z

Extract the archive and download the image to the card with BalenaEtcher.

Hello ,

Thanks for quick answer LubOlimex, I just tried this image, and I got another loop on the Terminal :

As I said previously, i am using a factory olinuxino-micro board, and the 2p5 voltage is missing (generated by imx233 DCDC and feeding the DDR). Which could explain the crash maybe at the memory boot process. I am using 5V / 1A jack supply.

Thanks & Regards,
Guillaume

Umm, this is not very typical. Did you try with another power supply?

Every board passes a number of tests here, including empirical one that boots Linux. How did you receive a board that doesn't boot. Maybe the board got damaged somehow? I have no idea.

I tested the same board and Linux image here. It seems to boot just fine. It looks like this:
