Hi CASPER members,

It turned out that the controlling server had a funny issue with its USB port 
drivers.

It was usable with some other USB-Serial hardware but, somehow, when the USB 
cable was connected on the ROACH USB port, it was freezing back uboot at 
startup.
And since I was using minicom to monitor the boot up of this roach, well...

After a fresh server start, I got the system up and running again.

Sorry for the noise.

Cheers,

Cedric

Hi *,

I've been using a ROACH2 unit for some time now and since yesterday I can't 
connect, ping or reboot it properly.

I've started digging a bit in the mailing list to find fixes, without success:
- Power Led is on.
- Power supply starts.
- USB OK, AUX and CPLD leds are ON.
- CPU_RDY, CPU_ERR, PPC_ERR are OFF.
- The reset/Fault led used to be ON randomly, without any issue on the system.  
It's permanently ON now
- I used to see CPU ready and/or Error LEDs ON sometimes (can't remember...), 
but now it's always off, both.
- The original iStar/Xeal power supply was replaced this morning by an other power 
supply -> same behavior
- C163 looks good.
- When the board is powered, all 4 ttyUSB peripherals show up, but stay quiet.
- minicom on ttyUSB2 with correct serial config shows nothing
   - I once got a fragment of what could be the uboot prompt (...at 533.333 
MHz...)

I haven't tried yet to:
- remove the 2 ADC5G and the 2 SFP+ mezzanine boards
- scan the JTAG chain
- use the RS232 connector
But is this usefull?

Any ideas or test I could try to restore the functionalities of this board, 
please?

Sincerely Yours,

Cedric
