Hi Folks,
I'm the admin for elinux.org that hosts the parallella wiki content. Today, after using my parallella for a few years, I think I've fried it. In my stupidity, I plugged a 12V 1.5A wallwart into the board. It's an early, kickstarter Parallella (s/n 00000066) so I'm very partial to it.
I'm wondering if there's over voltage protection on the board? I haven't found mention of any in the docs. If not, is it possible to hard reset the board some how?
When I plug in a 5V power supply, CR8 illuminates, but the board is not registered on my Linux host as a USB device, and the fan on the board moves a little then stops.
Any help would be much appreciated, as I was just sent a PINE64 board and was asked to do some comparisons.
Similarly, if anyone isn't using their Parallella anymore and would like to donate it to the elinux.org site, that would be much appreciated. Or if the Adapteva folks would like to donate a board to me, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
Bill
