What kind of Beagleboard on your hand, BB xm Rev B or other revision?
Had you verified ethernet hardware on other software platform like say Android or Wince 6.0?

Sorry for the late reply, the Ethernet works with CE6 and the original CE7.

This Wince 7.0 image only get verified on BB XM B

Code: Select all

2.5 –xM Revision B vs. –xM Revision C
There were seven changes made to the BeagleBoard-xM Rev C version over the Rev B design.
o Resistor loading was changed to allow for the reading of the Rev C revision by the SW. GPIO171=0, GPIO_172=1, and GPIO_173=0.
o Replacement of the processor from ES1.1 to ES1.2. For a detailed description of the issues present in the ES1.2 revision, please refer to http://focus.ti.com/lit/er/sprz319a/sprz319a.pdf . There are no issues resolved by ES1.2 that are anticipated to have any impact on the operation of the BeagleBoard-xM. ES1.2 is the latest revision.
o Fixed capacitor footprint in the PCB layout.
o Replaced the microSD connector with a new part. The current part was targeted for EOL and a new one was required. This required a PCB footprint change.
o Redesigned the overvoltage protection circuit. We were seeing issues with a small number of boards being damaged on the TPS2054 USB power FET, so a new design was implemented. Overall operation is the same as the original version with te exception that it is now possible to power the entire board over the USB OTG port. This includes the HUB. Care should be taken not to add high current devices on the USB ports as that will cause the host to shut down the USB port,
o Changed the default power state of the USB HUB to OFF as an added layer of protection to make sure the USB power rails are off on initial power up. This will minimize the initial current drain on the board. SW can turn on the HUB power as needed by setting the TPS65950 LEDA/VIBRA.P pin LO to turn it on.
o Added the ability for the SW to detect when the board is powered from the DC supply or the OTG supply. Status is read from GPIO.6 pin on the TPS65950. If LO, then the board is powered from the DC jack. The HUB will only work in the DC powered mode so this change allows the board to know not to try and initialize the USB Host when under OTG power..
Had you checked if your usb keyboard or usb mouse worked well with this wince 7.0 image?

Sorry for taking so long to do this, but no unfortunately no USB key or mouse.
Any closer to make decision on the public release of the BSP?
Technically speaking I will be fine for a while as long as I have SQLCompact, ROM only FS and USB/Ethernet running.

Looks like this difference make the USB hub off on your Rev. C board. We will have a check with it and recall back you soon.
