SK-TDA4VM: Problem booting SK-TDA4VM

Hi,

I just received a SK-TDA4VM and I have some stability problems booting the board with the SD-card provided. Sometimes it reaches the Linux login prompt but most of the times, it just keeps rebooting.

Hi Victor,

Could you confirm that this is the SD card image being used: https://www.ti.com/tool/download/PROCESSOR-SDK-LINUX-SK-TDA4VM
Can you also confirm that the power supply is around 60W (20V/3A)? If any component of the power supply (wall connector as well as cable) used does not support PD (Power Delivery) of up to 60W, the reboot may be happening due to a spike in power consumption at boot time. Our recommended power supply is in linked in the 'packages' on ti.com: https://www.ti.com/tool/SK-TDA4VM

Regards,

Takuma

Yes, using a more powerful power supply worked. Thanks.
