Title: TE0720 will not start and LED D5 keep blinking
Post by: skaug1 on August 06, 2018, 05:52:55 PM
Hi,
I'm trying to use a TE0720-03-2IFC3 module on a TE0701-06 carrier board but LED D5(the red one) keeps blinking.
As I turn on the power LED D4 (Done) turns on for less than a second before it turns off again and D5 starts blinking.
I've previously used the carrier board with a TE0715 module without problems.
As the CPLD documentation for the TE7020 is not available I do not know what the blinking LED means, but I guess it's a power error.
What does the error mean, and any idea how to fix this?

best regards
Atle

Hi,

sorry CPLD description is on the todo list.

But we have older documentations:
GLED1(D2): What does this LED? On or OF
RLED2(D5): Blinking with 50/50 duty cycle? Or 1/8 on and 7/8 OFF?
GLED3(D4): OFF means FPGA part is programmed (Done Pin)

LED Location on the TE0720:Do you see the SoC over the Vivado HW Manager?

Hello John,
LED D2 and D4 are off, LED D5 is blinking at 50/50 duty cycle at approximately 4 Hz and today the SoC is visible in the Vivado HW manager.
The SoC was not visible yesterday, but a reboot might have fixed this issue.

I inserted an empty SD card which led to D5 blinking at a 50/50 duty cycle at approximately 1 Hz, D2 is off and D4 is on.
This seems to be correct based on LED status code 3 and 4 in the document

So it seems all is good and that the flashing red light did not mean there was an error.
Thank you for your help.

best regards
Atle
