G'day
Bob,
yes,
the LED is blinking. I'm pretty sure its the USB interface that died inside the
chip. I just can't explain why as all I did was to power-up the unit after a few
month being left switched-off.
Power
supply voltage and current draw all look fine. Will keep you posted once I
changed-over the FX2 chip.
Seasons Greetings,
Berndt
Hi Berndt
Have
you heard this happening on more than just our boards? Weird!
I assume
you have the same blinking LED so this excludes the EEPROM load from the
problem? I use to work on some Alcatel data radios with the Altera chips and
we had EEPROM failures every now and then.
I have emailed Matt in case
he offers a repair service. If not I might just wait till you have repaired
yours. <grin>
Cheers Bob

G'day Bob,
this is exactly what happened to my USRP board. The board seems operational
except it won't communicate. I've ordered the FX2 chip from DigiKey as I
believe it to be faulty. Digikey actually managed to sent me the wrong part,
a RAM chip, inside an otherwise correctly labled package. The hopefully
correct part is on its way, so it shouldn't be long until we know if it fixed
the problem.
It just begs the question, what causes this chip to fail? As described by Bob,
it was left off for several month and failed on subsequent power up.
Seasons Greetings,
cheerio Berndt
