Burnt FPGA

Former Member

Dear Community,

A student of mine worked on a project with a ZedBoard. After he unplugged a HDMI cable (connected to a television) from the board, the Zynq FPGA does not boot anymore, neither from the SD card, nor from JTAG. I've in the forums that the ZedBoard is extremly vulnerable to ESD.
Can this board be replaced?

    With all the wacky weather out there, I will volunteer an ESD tip from Southern California, USA:

    Really, really worry about ESD on super dry days. 

    Old electronic factories in SoCal would just shut down completely for a few days during our "Santa Ana" dry conditions.  Now, we have these dry episodes for weeks and the humidity gets in the single digits, demanding extra care for our digital friends.

    Regards,
    Thomas
