Hi everybody,
Just received my parallella board a few days agora and rushed to get the thing up and running. I read the quick tutorial and some of the documents.
I had a good power adapter laying around, (5V, 2A specs). But the problem was that I didn't noticed until was too late was that the pin polarity was inverted.
So I plugged it on the parallella board and fired up. Just to after realize what I have done. Right after I tried with other power adapter but I had no signs of life from the board. No green led lighten.
I tried to power by USB by plugin to the connector next to the ethernet port and switching the jumper to the right.
The green led lighten up but I had no response from the HDMI nor the Ethernet leds.
So, here are a couple of questions:
1- Did I irreparably damaged my new board?
2- I measured the voltage between the power selector pins and a ground and it gave me 2,26 V approximately. Even using a 5V, 2A Apple Power adapter for iPad. Is this a sign that I damaged the board or for some reason the Apple iPad adapter is not providing enough juice to power the board?
Thanks
