Hi guys,
I recently bought 4 BB-Black for experiments. N.1 has already become a wifi-ap.
N.2 is right now on my workbench for experiments with FreeBSD.
The problem is, N.2 worked perfectly last night, but today it does not power up.
I am very perplexed. I have not wired electrical circuits on the headers of this machine till now,
so I exclude I burned it with currents.
All I did was to install FreeBSD 11.1 in eMMC and change:
hw.usb.template=1; also I did some tests with /dev/led ... nothing really dangerous
i think.
If I remember well I did "poweroff" before unplugging the USB (power) cable
yesterday night. So; I do not understand why the boy died.
I tried to shoot in the fog to solve it with:
1] keep power button down for more than 8 seconds
2] connect power to the powerjack
3] restart the machine with a SDcard
==> not working. Power led is down, I get nothing from the serial console.
Do you have any suggestion ?
bye
Nicola
