My new Ultra96V2 wont boot from SD card

Hi,

I just got my board and tried to boot from a factory imaged SD (used the delkin card it came with) but the done light never comes on and the ultra96 wifi network never appears

Do i have a faulty part? are there steps i can take to debug?

thanks!

Double check you followed the boot steps (SW3 button…): Getting Started with the Ultra96-V2 - 96Boards

If it does not work, try to re-install the system on provided or other SDCARD: SD Card Installation for Ultra96-V2 using Etcher - 96Boards

Having a debug connection to the serial/uart could be useful to retrieve boot info.

@hedra The Ultra96-v2 SD image linked in the documentation page is for Ultra96-v1. So, obviously it won’t work :frowning:

The Ultra96-v2 image is under development and should be available very soon. However, you can find the initial version of the image from Avnet’s page (I can’t share the link atm as their website is not loading for me)

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Thanks,
Mani

Hi @Mani: I got a new Ultra96-V2 kit without the SD card ! and found the image online and flashed the SD card with this below using Etcher.

The link I used :

$ ls -tlr

-rwxr-xr-x@ 1 shashikiran staff 15931539456 Apr 10 2018 Ultra96_rev1_sdcard_image_180409.img

Inserted ( 16GB, Microcard Class 10 Sandisk ) into the board and I dont see the Blue DONE LED !
Would appreciate if you can confirm if the image is right ? for v2.

The file name is having a “rev1” - so I am a bit concerned that it’s not the right image for this board.

Please confirm.

@Shashi_Kiran

You are right. That image is for the Ultra96 v1. You can find he v2 image here: http://avnet.me/ultra96-v2-oob

I have submitted a PR for fixing this: https://github.com/96boards/documentation/pull/850

Please note that this image is a temporary one and will be replaced by a release image soon.

I just received an Ultra96V2 board. Please note that the written instructions which came with the board do not specify that the image must be downloaded with the “http://” prefix. The now-standard “https://” prefix on the url takes me to an internal site login screen:

https://avnet.me/ultra96-v2-oob – login screen
http://avnet.me/ultra96-v2-oob – image download link

Very confusing. Would be great if this could be rectified.
