I have a G120 on a custom board I have built. It has been working great for a little while. The other day it suddenly stopped running so I attached a serial cable and opened TeraTerm. I erased the memory and tried to XMODEM ‘G120_TinyBooter.GHI’ to the board. It takes it but still says ‘Bad firmware’. I have seen memory error contact GHI before but never this symptom.
I have verified that the board is getting 3.3V and proper grounding. I do not have pin 59 attached to anything.
@ Dat - FYI, I’ve been seeing the same error on 2 or 3 of my custom G120 boards. I shipped a defective board to Gus for evaluation a few months back. Maybe you can poke around there and see if you find anything.
@ Dat - I’ll have to cut some traces to completely disconnect SPI1. The pins for SPI2 and SPI3 are floating. This is NOT an HDR board. It’s a G120 on a custom board.
P0_18 (Pin 11) connects to a MAX1483 (Pin2) receive enable.
P0_15 (Pin 13) is floating.
P0_17 (Pin 15) connects to a MAX3232 (pin 12)R1 OUT which should be pulled up internally in the MAX3232.
I’m guessing I’ll have to cut these traces? I can patch up the board after so if I need to do it I can. It just seems weird that after a year this issue starts to happen.
