Have you tried reloading the FW?

Yip the default spk from the source page R15 and our own firmware as released we have 200 boards build based on the mangoh this is the first time i have seen this swaping the WP8548 out the board functions fine.

I see the legato version is 18.03.0_c733ac5c03f8a3c9a87e60500d601634. It should be 16.10.4 for release 15. did you update the Legato AF to 18.03?

I have R15 / 18.03 working quite well on the WP85’s we have started using WP76’s waiting for production stock and want to use the same version of legato on all platforms. i did load the R15/16.10.4 build as well onto this unit then loaded our build back on.

This is from the same board with a new CPU loaded with R15/18.03

So you mean after you loaded “15.1 = 18.03”, issue occurs?

No not at all that is the current version we testing and have some in the field already the CPU never turns on at all regardless of version the same board with a new WP85 is working fine on 18.03 see cm info output above and the spk file i loaded onto the new cpu on the board …

OK, understood.
So do you know what happened before issue occurs? (any Application running?)

IT was running overnight here in the lab and died a miserable death i have put it one side and will send it in to arrow for follow up. i am very interested in understanding it for future purposes

Hi @gregnietsky
do you have any log to share when the issue happens?
best regards,

This device was handed to Arrow for RMA investigation no further feedback as of yet.
