Hello,
BACKGROUND:
My name is Everett Sykes. I'm a design engineer for Western Telematic, Inc. We build a series of products that contain a CPU board using the "AM3352 ARM Cortex-A8 MPU" processor. This CPU board is roughly based on the BeagleBone Black board.
PROBLEM:
We previously used Spansion S34ML01G2 flash and everything works fine. We built a batch of boards using the SkyHigh Memory S34ML01G3 (3rd Generation flash memory), and now the AM3352 will not recognize the SPL/MLO image. We can boot from an SD card and the read and write the flash. But when we boot without the SD card, the board prints 'C' characters out of the serial console port, indicating it's requesting a boot image from the serial port, as if the image in flash is not being recognized by the Processor.
QUESTIONS:
1. Has anyone seen this problem?
2. Is there a solution?
Thank you,
Everett
