  • dm500 hd s2 hangs on power-on

    got it working again.


    the setup : fc20 as a host


    connect usb cable and boot dm500


    dmesg -> look for ttyUSB0


    VBoxManage list usbhost


    and look for the dm500 box


    create usb filter in virtual box (i used the serial number as shown in previous command)


    boot Win 8.1 in virtualbox
    ruin dreamup as admin user


    if you are lucky, you will get a connection (if not retry ...)


    I had to flash the 500HD officiel nfi, instead of the 500hd s2 image (which is the one i have)


    (the s2 images gave the wrong arch error)


    i got a 'flash ok'. switched it off and on, and YEAA, back in the game


    still want to know what corrupted the image in the first place .. (heat ??) (the box was really hot. the fan only starts to late in the boot process, and the board was heating up, because it was powered on, but hang during first boot stage... )


    thx for the help.


    Will post the VB stuff, when i manage to reproduce it properly.

    run virtualbox as root (too lazy to add my account to the right groups)

    Managed to connect with dreamup (in virtualbox)


    But when i flashed the latest official NFI, i got a message similar to :


    wrong architecture, box may be unusable.


    I connected it to the network, but did not find its mac in the leases


    booting in linux, minicom gave the same output as in previous reply

    Running on linux only at home. Looking at getting the serial connection to a virtualbox image.


    But i dont think it will do something usefull.


    When i connect the serial port to my linux box, i see the following in my minicom session when turning on the dm500 :

    Hi,


    When i power up, i get only the green led on. Normally, it should switch to a blinking red led, and the turning green again when working.


    There is nothing happening, no screen is coming up, everything seems dead. Also the fan is not running also, and when i leave the power on for a while, the board is heating up.


    I recently measured the temperature (software) and the box kept running with a temperature measured around 40 degree.


    Under the fan are some red leds, that blinks always in the same sequence.


    Just wondering what if the flashing of those leds could indicate what is going on ??


    leds are numbered d200 to d204
    the sequence


    11011


    11010


    11011 fast flash)
    11100
    10100
    01111


    01110 (fast flash)
    01011


    And then the leds stops flashing.


    anyone getting a clue what that means ?


    In the meantime the dm500hd keeps dead.
