Possible reason for Avalon batch 2 extended delay

[cryptograd]

Seems like Yifu is scrambling to take care of some unforeseen hardware bug that occurred to one of the earlier batch 2 machines.

word is that all units going out after May 31st will have this bug fixed before being shipped out.

I'd be worried if he we playing upwords... but scrabbling is ok right?




Looks like mrb to the rescue... and they are knocking off a fuse to resolve the issue. Scary for those with Avalon 2's for sure. I hope everyone reads this info.

Its easy, if that its unused feature, just remove the thing, pack and ship.

source:

Remove the F1(Fuse) for fix the USB-HUB chip overheat, if you are batch2 user and your received Avalon between Apr 26 2013 ~ May 31 2013, your FPGA contoller board still have F1 mounted. you need do this by yourself. removing F1 will not make the usb hub stop working, F1 powers the USB-A1 plug (which is normally unused), more info please checkout here: https://github.com/BitSyncom/avalon-ref/issues/5

good catch mbevand
