MicroZed Boot Problem

Former Member

Hello All,

I have been running my MicroZed (BD-Z7MB-7Z010-G REVF06) with a Breakout Carrier Card for several months now with no issues.  Recently, however, when I booted up in SD Card mode (as per usual, I have Ubuntu loaded on there) the board & card powered up but I was unable to connect to the serial port using my terminal program.  I then tried booting up in QSPI mode and JTAG mode (which seemed to work fine, although oddly the blue "ready" light was on immediately) but I was not able to connect to either the serial port or the JTAG cable.

To isolate the problem I separated the MicroZed from the Breakout Carrier Card, and tried booting it up as a standalone device.  The MicroZed would not boot up at all when powered only by the USB cable.  I tried switching USB cables and using different USB ports, but none of the LEDs would light up.

Any troubleshooting ideas out there?

Thanks.

Adam

    Bryan,
    I was looking at Avnet in case I need to replace this MicroZed, and it looks like there are none in stock (lead time is 10 weeks).  What they do have in stock is the same part with a C01 added to the end, which I imagine is the "cost-optimized" version you had mentioned.  Is there anything else different about this version, other than it not working as a standalone device?  I'm tempted to buy this version as a replacement since I already have everything else from the Evaluation Kit and I can't really wait 10 weeks...
    Thanks.
    Adam
