Two boards -- one works, one doesn't.

Howdy!

I pledged on Kickstarter for one 64-core board or two 16-core boards and since the stretch goal wasn't met, I got the two 16-core boards, which is fine.

I finally got everything needed to get up and running, mini-whatever cables, power supplies, microSD, etc.

One board runs just fine, as planned, latest e-test from Github works like a charm.

The other board on the other hand, does not. I pull the latest from Github and it does nothing but crash while running e-test (this is after building it -- same process as I did on the working board) ...

-------------------------------------------------------
***Running Simple Memory Test***

the crashes completely, to the point of it being no longer usable.

Any ideas? Can I get a replacement board?

Thanks!!

Hi Shawn,

If you're using precisely the same Micro SD card, power supply and cables with both boards, I'm not sure what else to suggest to try other than ensuring that you have a fan pointing at the board. If you don't it may be that one is heating up slightly quicker than the other.

Also moving this thread to the Troubleshooting forum.

Cheers,

Andrew
