If you put the board on its side, you can try with the wires away from the board. Do you have pictures of your install?
Falcon not booting into xell
- Thread starter mocalacace
- Start date
When I ran it like that the green LED stopped flashing then I pulled it away from the board and it started flashing again
I'm still having the same damn problem, I thought it might have been my soldering, so I resoldered all the points. I accidentally f**ked up the STBY-CLK so I repaired the trace and used the alternative point. However that hasn't seemed to work. Is there anything else that could possibly be the problem.
I even wired each wire the exact same way, even with the hot glue in the same spot and I just get flashing green.

Green light not flashing = CPU_PLL_BYPASS. Desolder the wire from the point on the motherboard, trim back the wire slightly, re-strip and pre tin the wire. Clean the point and make sure there are no bridges. Re-solder the wire and make sure you have continuity from the near side of R7R17 and point A. Resistance should be 0 ohm.
If after all this your green light still isn't flashing, then either the ecc file is wrong or you didn't program the Coolrunner board correctly.

But the green light is flashing.
I dont have a voltmeter cause I'm back at home for thanksgiving, but when I get back down to school I'll be able to test it
When the light flashes in your video it is very brief and faint. I had the very same problem with my Falcon board. I rechecked the soldering on the board and the cool runner. Now the light is brighter and flashes for a moment longer and boots right into Xell after about 8sec.
I hope this helps.

Ok, I just measure the resistance across all the points and it is 0 ohms, so if that is correct I dont think the soldering is the problem
