Dear Sir or Madam,

we have purchased 2 Beadaframes from you.

Now i (system engineer) cant get them to work.

1. The information from the support forum, regarding board rework is not clear for pandaboard es rev B1 - i think all the resistors needed are already populated, soldering the 2 jacks bill be enough, right?

2. on system power up we get a short white flashing from the beada, then it turns black, nothing more. i booted with bootargs=vram=32M fixrtc mem=1G@0x80000000 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw console=ttyO2,115200n8 rootwait omapfb.mode=dvi:800x480MR-16@60 omapdss.def_disp=dvi

3. which linux kernel patches are needed for beada frame, and where can i get them. we have to compile our own kernels, so i need this information...

4. in shipping notification you mentioned a setup cd from ftp server - i could not find it there, can you provide a link please

5. is there a linux test image out there for pandaboard es, where i can check if the setup works? i tried it like in viewtopic.php?f=19&t=531 , but the system hangs on uncompressing linux

Please give us some help,
much thanks

yes
2. on system power up we get a short white flashing from the beada, then it turns black, nothing more. i booted with bootargs=vram=32M fixrtc mem=1G@0x80000000 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw console=ttyO2,115200n8 rootwait omapfb.mode=dvi:800x480MR-16@60 omapdss.def_disp=dvi
which software image you were using in this case?
3. which linux kernel patches are needed for beada frame, and where can i get them. we have to compile our own kernels, so i need this information...
We provide source code for ubuntu and android, please check with our ftp for downloading.
4. in shipping notification you mentioned a setup cd from ftp server - i could not find it there, can you provide a link please
Notification words in shipping email is generic, so there is no setup cd for this BeadaFrame part.
5. is there a linux test image out there for pandaboard es, where i can check if the setup works? i tried it like in viewtopic.php?f=19&t=531 , but the system hangs on uncompressing linux
Ubuntu 12.04 LTS should works well on Pandaboard ES, we already had customers with same configuration as yours. Please provide more details for your failure like logs.
