Does anybody know the part numbers for the RTC so I can investigate its quality.

Thanks

I may have accidentally put 24V on the 5V of my USB 2.0 connector on the UpCore I use.
As a result two components are damaged. One 5pin component, which seems to be a voltage regulator, lost a leg. And one resistor became so hot, it just fell off. I have some people who are experienced in SMD soldering and repairs, so as long as I find replacements for the broken components I should be able to fix this.

Does anybody know where to get schematics for the UpCore? Or maybe somebody has a working one and could take a close up picture of that part for me? Maybe that helps to identify the broken components.

I hope someone can help. Thank you in advance.

Trouble :
1)FAN & LED is normally workable but booting doesn’t proceed (NO BIOS logo) when input power.
2)If we push power button when 1), booting proceed normally.
3)After 2), there was no booting error anymore.

Test Condition:
1)BIOS Version : UPC1BMOT / UPC1BMOS / UPC1DM17
2)BIOS setting : Default (State After G3 [S0 State])
3)Test method : 5V Power ON/OFF in a cycle and then monitor booting process (25sec On / 2sec Off)

This is critical problem for the instrument manufacturer....

Not sure if this is the correct sub forum to post in as I don't see anything for the Gateway.

I received my Gateway today via DHL. Plugged in a simple linux OS via USB stick that many others use without issue and I am getting the attached constant USB error. I feel like there might be a hardware issue with one of the USB ports or hub????

The strange thing is that the error is aways on usb port 1-7.3. And it occurs even with NO USB devices plugged into the Gateway at all (after booting from the ram based linux on USB stick and removing). Also, I tried plugging a keyboard into all 4 USB 2.0 ports and it works on ALL of them. I.e. it doesn't seem like it's related to one of the USB 2.0 ports. I don’t have a USB 3.0 OTG cable/device to test that port.

Very confusing - again, the attached error keeps spinning even with no usb devices plugged in. It's like there is an electrical issue somewhere. Should I return this device?

Cheers

Can the UP board function as a grand-master clock in the network? What is the accuracy of the oscillator on UP board?

My question is, how can I safely rewire the Up board to pass power from 5V pins on 40pin connector to the main board? Simplest solution seems to be to connect 5V barrel jack pin directly to 5V on 40pin. Is it safe tho, or some weird voltage loops may happen?

Adding USB-UART conversion would be the last resort.

I was sent here from RMA support (https://up-shop.org/). Quite unusually, but I will post my issue as indicated by them.

Some time ago to our office arrived new order with UpBoards. I've run few tests (simple UART example PIN 8,10) using desktop version of Ubuntu 18.04 with dedicated kernel following this manual: https://wiki.up-community.org/Ubuntu_18.04

It turned out that I'm unable to control GPIOs.

I can run another type of tests if someone can suggest something, but we have 10 others UpBoards in our office right now and all of them working perfectly fine (with the same test). UpBoard  is show info in log "up-pinctrl up-pinctrl: CPLD initialisation failed" every time I turn it ON.

We're buying approximately 80-100 UpBoards per year, so we have some experience with them, and we are able to compare one device to another, and this one is not working fine for sure.

Someone has any idea what is wrong? 

Best regards,
Hubert 

Is it possible to flash our own mac address? Or can we get a OEM/Vendor privileg for the Up Board? We have now over 100 in use and it will be over 100 this year.

We also have a second ethernet port via USB and so we can match them together.

Thanks for reply

A few solutions have been thrown around, but they all have some issues since the UP Board GPIOs seem to have varied startup characters from pin to pin. I've seen some stay low at boot-up, some start with a ~15s high pulse, and some with a ~45s high pulse. Is there any concrete documentation on the startup characteristics of the entire set of GPIO? The Pinout wiki page has some data, but nothing more in depth than mentioning the startup high pulse for an old revision of the UP Board.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks in advance,

I am writing software that will control devices via GPIO in UP Board (UPC-CHT01-A10-0232).

Could I ask for documentation describing GPIO ports?

I particularly mean the numbering which pin on the PCB corresponds to which SYSFS number. For example, I want to initialize pin 3 on header and what number should I enter in echo XX> /sys/class/gpio/export

I spend a lot of time to find this information, but lot of links move to http 404 error or site has content "comming soon" or describe not exactly my kit and are useless.

I'm looking for a single board computer, which can drive a screen via DisplayPort. The display itself is 1920x1920 (eizo square) and it works fine when connected to desktop PC. So my question is, if I take eDP-DisplayPort cable (exists, right?) and connect UpBoard to monitor, would it be the same situation as with desktop (windows10) ?

thanks

I'm currently working on a project where we are using an UP Board for mobile data collection. Essentially, the subject wears the UP Board on their belt or in a bag while going through their day. To make this process mobile, we have started using the S.USV UPs board supplied by Olmatic seen here:

https://up-shop.org/up-peripherals/256-mobile-ups-wireless-power-supply-for-up-boards.html

Unfortunately neither the stock 300mAh nor the 3000mAh battery run the UP Board long enough for us to complete a data collection session (10-12 hours).

My question: One obvious solution is to use a higher capacity battery, although with the stock voltage being 3.7V these batteries seem to be very hard to find. Is it acceptable to use a higher voltage battery along the original battery connection or the other, external power connection? General insight from others trying to use the UP Board in a mobile capacity would also be great. Thanks.

Can any one recommend and DSI screen that will work with the Up? The only DSI screen that I can find on the interwebs are for the raspberry pi from waveshare. Will screens made for the RPI work on the Up?

Best Regards,
Damian

I just got a Up Core Gateway https://up-shop.org/up-systems/282-upc-gws01w4g-memory32g-emmc-boardw-vesa-plate.html it has an antenna and its written specs says it has onboard WiFi however in Ubuntu, it says wifi adaptor not found

What could be the issue here? please help

I use a lot of Single Board Computers and the point is that when I use internal pull-up/down resistors, I always have spurious floating input with spurious push button. (true on Raspberry Pi and ODROID)
Now, on SBC, I always use external level resitors.

On the UpBoard, on the pinout wiki page, we can see :

The SoC GPIO pins include configurable internal pull-up resistors, but these are not really effective when the level translators are configured in input mode. If pull-up or pull-down resistors are needed for stabilizing floating input signals on a header pin, the user would need to include these in the external circuit connected to the UP board.

I is the first time I see this "not effective pull-up resistor" and I am curious to understand why is it not effective.

I had ran into the Up Board 2 in my research into a portable compact gaming rig. I ran into this idea... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9BO043zMwwY .... however I had a few questions about this idea.

With this build in mind I would also like to connect my razer tartarus, razer naga, and a mini keyboard. Also I was hoping to connect some sort of larger storage for games.

Would this be possible?

Thank you in advance!

Thanks

What is the best way to restore an UpBoard to a factory (out of the box) state? I would like to wipe all partitions installed.

Cheers

We are trying to update BIOS from UPC1BMOT to UPC1DM17.BIN recently.
But after putting "GO.nsh" we can see below error screen.
Could you please let us know how can we update the newest BIOS?

Regards,
Jim

has anyone already got a working solution to this?

thanks

There was freezing error when up board was booting.

1. It takes almost 35 seconds to be displayed UP logo after turning on the power
2. After displaying UP logo, up board became freezing status.
3. And also, we have to wait a few minutes to enter BIOS setting mode, after pushing ESC button.
4. When we turn off power, display became off, but cooling FAN and LED was still running.
5. Reset is workable, but the board has been frozen again...
6. After BIOS initialization, we can't see improving at all.

Please let us know the trouble shooting?

Best Regards
Jim

I bought a cheap generic one and its doesn't seem to work but the up board itself does seem to detect that something is plugged in and tries to output to it.

I just wish i could plug my up boards into my analog KVM switch Digital ones are far too expensive for me at the moment.

I would like to power the device (+5V) through the 40-pin connector, but it appears that there may be a polyfuse in series to the rest of the board. Is it possible to get a schematic of the power circuit or a description of the power circuit? And, if there is a polyfuse, would it be possible to get a part number?

It appears I have no or limited power at the USB ports of one of my my four UP Gateways ( ATOM x5-Z8350.w/4G memory,32G eMMC board). I requested an RMA but was advised to check here first. It would be great if there was a solution to avoid the hassle of returning the unit.

The gateways are endpoints for home audio distribution. Three work perfectly - the fourth appears to have no (or low) voltage at it's USB ports. I found a post here in the hardware spec category from Dec. 2018 which appeared to have the same no USB power problem but the thread offered so solutions. I've ordered a USB port tester from Amazon to help verify the problem with specific numbers. What I've done so far...

Testing methodology:

1. Exact same 5V power supply (only one I've used since the order arrived),
2. Exact same outboard bus-powered DAC (iFi micro iDSD-BL - owners manual), and
3. Exact same USB cable with each gateway.

Results:

On all three working gateways:

1. DAC on / gateway power supply OFF = blinking green light on DAC which means "Awaiting USB connection"
2. DAC on / gateway power supply ON = solid steady light on DAC (signal has been established).

On the problem gateway:

3. DAC on / gateway power supply OFF = blinking green light
4. DAC on / gateway power supply ON = blinking green light
   The USB connection is never acknowledged by the DAC. I have an older version of the same DAC (iFi micro iDSD (not BL)) and it's behavior is identical.

Similarly, I also tested 6 known working thumb drives. Their tiny indicator lights all illuminate properly with the three functioning gateways. One the problem one, none of the thumb lights ever goes on.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

I am working on a project where I would like to use my Up Board to power a USB camera which requires USB 3.0 compatibility and 3.2 watts of power. I have bought a USB 3.0 to micro USB b adaptor to interface with the Up Board however, when I plug everything in the camera does not seem to be recognized by the downloaded software or is powered (indication via LED). I set up the BIOS according to wiki for device mode as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dylan

I have bought the wrong size USB JST connector. It is 1.25mm 8-pin. Can I just confirm that the USB 2.0 pin header size is in fact 1.0 mm 10-pin please?

Thank you

where i can find information on:

• memory address space (what addresses belong to RAM/ROM/Peripherals etc)
• what audio DSP chip is on my board?
• bios writer guide

I have been interested to purchase an UP Automation Edge Computing.

Is the Quectel ec25 LTE Modul already included?

How do I get the linux driver for the LTE Modul?

How long does it approximately take until I can send a few bits with the modul. What steps are necessary? (install linux upuntu, install driver, add network interface, 4h?)

I have build some hardware to integrate the UP boards and with my latest order of up boards for a small devices I got a series of Board with heatsink without the fixation holes that were previously existing ! Is this a production error ?
Left new board, right original board which I used for the design of my holders ... using the 4 existing holes which aren't existing anymore in the latest order !

I've seen arguments for IoT use cases that Win10 IoT has networking and enterprise infrastructure benefits over Linuix / Android, but on this platform it's my opinion that you'd be crazy not to use a more complete OS that can run anything you want and customize it to your use, unless I'm missing something - does IoT use less power for example (with equivalent base OS), is there better hardware support in IoT? Am I missing something?

I would like to use Grove Pi+ (for Raspberry Pi ) on Up squared board for test.

But,
it seems not to work because Up squared board use the customized GrovePi+.

Can I know why? what's change or difference between them? hardware? or software?

Looking forward to your feedback.

Thanks
Ryan

When I first got my board I installed Xubuntu 18.0.4 onto the eMMC. I'd now like to boot from a Ubilinux 4 USB. At the "Welcome" screen I press F7, and am presented with "Enter Password." Pressing Enter has no effect, and attempting to enter a password ("upassw0rd") has no effect -- there is no indication that input is being received, the screen appears frozen.

What am I missing?

I am soon going to mount this in a Turtlebot3 Waffle PI (to replace the PI and camera).

Wondering which Wifi Adapter to use. I am probably asking this after all of the horses left with the open barn door as I ordered a couple of adapters from Amazon, which should ship tonight, but...

I decided to not order the same one as the UP ships and I have on my other UP board as would prefer to not purchase another one that you have to replace the drivers to make work OK...

Likewise I have some older edimax dongles which I have used in Odroids and earlier RPI boards.

What I have ordered include:
Panda Mini Wifi 150Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter

SparkLAN WUBR-508N(PU) / 802.11a/b/g/n 2x2 MIMO / USB Module with Printed Antenna + USB Type A (Ralink RT5572)

I believe I saw reference to both of these either by name like Panda or by chip type RT5572.

Any better suggestion? If not I will probably start by trying the Sparklan adapter as it is higher speed...

Thanks
Kurt

Edit: Forgot to mention I am running Ubuntu 16.04 on this board

I'm powering my UP board through the GPIO using an OpenCR board as a PSU. It has a 5V@4A regulator fed from a LiPo or an AC adapter.
UP board specs says it should run fine even with 5VDC@3A, which it actually does BUT I encounter connection stability issues with both the WiFi adapters I could try.
Using a powered hub: I get muuuuch less connection drops.

I investigated on voltages using a simple voltmeter with two probes and an USB voltmeter widget. Here are the results:

• 5.02V out of OpenCR (up board running)
• 5.00V on UP board GPIO powered between pin 4(5V) and 6(GND) (-> 0.02V loss along the tiny cable between the two boards -> very acceptable)
• 5.00V also measured between pin 2 and 6 of OpenCR
• 4.93V on each of the UP board USB ports (only the voltmeter widget is connected to the USB ports)
• I did not check the USB 3.0 OTG connector

Are these results within the acceptable range regarding both the USB 2.0 specifications and the actual performance that can be expected from the UP board ?

i'm assuming its pins 2(+5v),4(+5v),6(common)

if we power the device via the 40pin connector do we need to supply both 3.3 and 5v? or just 5v?
