Hi, 
I received confirmation from FriendlyArm by email that both M2a and M3 has been discontinued.
Apparently they can continue producing with a relatively hight MOQ.

Sadly no reponses from them about the lifespan of their products.

    :) i assumed as much... :) hmmmm let's see how it goes when i get psu tomorrow... or i get few 7505 and hook them to run the board... i think i have the parts inhouse... i will look around and post pics... even if i fry it... as a warning... :)

     

    What do you mean by 7505 ? Do you mean 7805 Voltage Regulator ? Be aware that those are 1A only ...

    You don't any 5VDC Wall plugged PSU with a barrel connector ?

     

    EDIT : When I'm running of 5V PSU, I take some 12V and use those DC-DC converters : http://www.ebay.ca/itm/5pcs-Mini-360-DC-DC-Buck-Converter-Step-Down-Module-4-75V-23V-to-1V-17V-EV-/272877133247

    @viking

     

    Try to get a good SD card and flash it with etcher, lots of info in the forum.

     

    Got the M3 myself and used a self-compiled Armbian image (./compile.sh BOARD=nanopim3),  it works ok.

    Running out of ideas since I can't replicate this problem. It still could be a failed / badly written (bad) SD card. This cheap buck converter is also not good enough to rule out underpowering. Have you tried booting without having anything attached to USB?


    Add: I did few tests limiting the current and I could not boot the board when input current was below ~1.5A without having anything except HDMI. Perhaps there (HDMI) is a problem? Further. Stressing the board pulls ~1.6A and it was pretty easy to crash the board when PSU was limited to 1.8A ... which is close to Chinese "3A" :) 

    Viking, how did you get hold of an m3? That's my favorite sbc at the moment, and I was very disappointed they stopped selling it. Now if someone would put that soc on a board with more RAM and an emmc socket I'd be very happy indeed!
