We understand that EVMs are generally non-returnable, but since these units arrived defective, we kindly request an **RMA process (replacement or refund)** for these boards.

  • Every EVM is functionally tested a manufacturing.  Thus it is very unlikely all 3 systems you received have a manufacturing defect.  Please provide additional information on how you are testing the units.  What power supply are you using and with which connector.  What additional cables/connections have you applied.  The EVM is not flashed with existing software so that is reason for no HDMI output.

    Also - what is the history of these EVMs.  The order date was Aug/2025.  That was over 1 year ago.  How have the EVMs been used?  What applications have they been running, what environment are they used, etc?
