I've recently purchased the BBB and over the weekend I went through setting it up. I have to say I'm thoroughly impressed with the setup and the size. I followed the supplied instructions of connecting the device to my computer using the USB cable connecting it from the micro USB port to a port on my laptop, installing the necessary files to communicate with the device. My issue occurred when I connected the BB in the following manner.
1. From micro HDMI port to HDMI port on monitor. 2. Connected the 5V power source into the BB 3. Connected a USB cable from the USB jack on the BB to my 4 port powered USB hub. 4. Connected the micro USB cable into the 4 port hub. 5. Inserted wireless keybrd/mouse dongle into the 4 port hub. When I applied power to the BB within 1 minute of doing so I hear a faint high pitch tone and shortly thereafter I see a spark coming from the board. Based on the setup described what could have gone wrong? -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
