Since upgrading the BitsyX to image 4.10.27, ROM 1.07, I have experienced a 44% failure rate when attempting to boot the board.
The boot sequence is as follows

****BOOT PROCESS HALTS HERE****
I started to track the number of successes and failures late on Friday, 19Sept. Between then and now, I have booted the BitsyX 50 times (I've been working with the emulator, so device boots are low at this time). I have had 28 successes, and 22 failures.
It does not matter whether or not I am loading ADSLoad.reg, ADSLoad.hwt, ADSLoad.exe, ADSLoad.rom, nk.bin. I have had successful and failed boots when these files have been loaded, and when they have not.
We are utilizing the CF interface for data acquisition, therefore the number of PCMCIA slots available is set to 1 in the HWT.
0xA1E30014 0x0000001 ; Number of PCMCIA Sockets
Finally, I did switch boards in the middle of logging, so the results are not from only one board.
Would a copy of the HWT and REG that we use be helpful to you? |
