Were there every any BIOS/EFI updates released for this board?

Rich, what happens when you press the power button, (you did add a power button). Its sounds from your description that its just sitting there without any info on the seven segment leds.

Other things to try, are resetting the CPU card, (you will need to undo the screws holding it in place), and removing the CMOS battery. Wait a few minutes for the caps to discharge, and that will reset the BIOS to a default value, in case the CMOS RAM is scrambled.

If all else fails, send it back, (there's a form at the bottom of the shipping invoice) and we'll replace it.

Rich, you just need to short the two pins 5 and 6  momentarily to power up the board, and then same again will shut down, so a momentary switch with a two pin 0.1 in pitch socket is all thats needed.  FYI if you hold the button closed for about 5 seconds this will "force" the power off. The same header has a reset switch connection. The connector is adjacent to the 7-segment LED's, with an FPANEL silkscreen.

Dear sir,

just few days back, I received my development board. (Atom D510). I created one bootable pen drive with androidx86. Connected VGA,KeyBoard,Mouse.

After attaching power supply, I could not see any thing on monitor. I could just see one green LED in ON state on board. No info on the seven segment leds.

Now as you said in response to similar question, "you did add a power button" .  What I understand from this is, need to buy "momentary switch with a two pin 0.1 in pitch socket".  As work around to this, Can I just short "pin 5 & 6" on FPANEL using some wire to power on the board? Or Can I just use jumper? In case of jumer i will just insert it and remove it. 

One more thing, Does Intel supply any CDs for driver or softwares along with this board??  In some forum I read about CDs that comes with board. But i did not receive any CDs in my shipment.

Hope to hear from you soon

Thanks

The board comes with memory pre-installed on the processor card, (its hidden under the heatsink).  So I presume you are referencing the connector thats labelled FLASH (J1201). That's for future expansion and is not used. 

Regarding the broken link, can you say what link is broken, I need more info.

thanks, Stewart

Hello,

Thank you for this post, it really helped me for booting the D510 embedded board that I have recently acquired. As a first trial I am using a Hard Drive (HDD) with an Ubuntu distribution and it is working fine.

Now I am trying to figure out how I can manage to work with the Embedded Compute Module once I extract it from the Mini-ITX carrier:

a) I am looking for some storage solutions based on Flash so that I can boot an embedded Linux distribution following a cross-development environment. Is there any connector besides J1201 where I can connect some kind of flash memory on board the compute module? I thought there would be some kind of connector for CompactFlash memory for instance.

b) I have identified 3 connectors on top of the compute module (see figure below) but I do not know which is the purpose of these connectors. Can you help me?

c) How can I manage to power up the Compute Module once it is outside the Mini-ITX carrier?

Thank you very much,

Juan
