12 years agoOk, i've got some help from the maintenance lab of the university, the board now can be turned on again. but only the power blue led is on..still, i can download any design i want to the RAM and work with it without using the burned inputs of the board ( GPIO_1[9 -> 13], key[0 + 2], sw[1 + 2]). also, i've noticed that the initial program that is supposed to be run from the eeprom -the counter with the hello message on the lcd- is not running any more. when i tryed to load it again with the run/prog switch set on prog. the downloading process halts at arround 64%.
i should also mention that the noise now disappeared and the L4 inductor bellow the red power button gets very hot rapidely after turnning the kit on so i'm trying not to keep it running more than 4 to 5 minutes at a time not to burn it all, or can i run the board without worrying about that? too bad i can't get another board cause they're not available arround easily, very expensive and the board i have belongs to the university so i kinda have to stick with it till i finish my project ;)
