    We have the software update for the ADM1166 ready.  It will be included in our next production build of SOMs.

     

    For those experiencing this issue now, I will private message each of you with instructions to update your SOM or return it for a replacement.

     

    Thanks again for your patience!

    /Matt

    Hmm... maybe I don't have the same problem?

    A co-worker had another dev kit, so I borrowed his FMC Carrier Card, and my module booted right up on it.  Thinking maybe there's a slight power difference between our carriers, I updated the ADM1166 on my SOM while connected to his carrier (following the command line instructions from: https://wiki.analog.com/resources/eval/user-guides/pzsdr/power-and-sequencing ).  Everything looked to be successful (said: "Successfully reprogrammed the ADM1166 EEPROM. ... reboot the board to load the new configuration.").  Rebooting on his carrier worked fine, but I still have the same DS8 only LED on my carrier.

    I assume this ADM1166 update is on Github?  Do I have a defective carrier card?

    Thanks,
    Pat
