SABRE i.MX6 SoloX Board

[w2vy]

I just received my board and followed the quick start guide, except I do not have a LVDS panel

The serial ports are unresponsive and the USB OTG does not enumerate any devices on my PC (Win7x64)

I did install the FTDI drivers and try again...

Now for no explainable reason I am hearing beeps from PC speakers when I insert the USB cable.

But No Virtual Serial ports, but I do see "USB Input Device" - HID Compliant device

Is it possible  the SD card did not have a bootable image? It looks ok

Ah ha, I got an explanation... with No SD Card I get beeps in insert/remove but without the card I do...

Any ideas?

  Please check boot settings on the board.

  You may use i.MX6SX Serial downloader mode directly : configure S1

(BOOT_MODE0, BOOT_MODE1) as BOOT_MODE0 = 1, BOOT_MODE1 = 0.

  Also it is possible to configure boot options for SD4 boot, as shown 

in the Quick Start Guide. When there is no card in SD4 slot, the Serial downloader

of the i.MX6SX starts.

Please use USB OTG port of the i.MX6SX to connect it to (Windows) PC :
USB HID device, corresponding i.MX6SX, should be detected.  

For console, UART port of the i.MX6SX is used : it is connected to UART-USB
converter ; the FTDI driver is needed here. But UART output  is visible (say via

Tera Term), when SD4 (Linux) boot starts.

Have a great day,
Yuri

If the serial downloader is running, how can I verify it is running and possible load something into it?

Is there any way I can verify the SD card is not corrupt?
Maybe a stock image I can use to recreate it?

I did verify the switch setting were set for SD4 boot mode as per the Quick Start

Well I figured out what the problem was!

cockpit error

I did not notice the USB connector (J16) on the bottom side of the board next to the RS232 connectors.

I was in J7

THAT is where the console port are!

Many thanks to my Avnet FAE for pointing this out and promising not to tell anyone...
