The internal testing phase of BB logging on FlashScan V2 has run into some problems. Nothing major but enough to make me concerned that I may not get it released by this weekend.
There are two outstanding problems with the new BB logging firmware:
1. FlashScan takes about 30 seconds to power up under USB power. Not sure why at this stage but my focus is on the CPU boot speed. It is possibly being set extremely low (i.e. 1MHz instead of 40MHz). Which would cause all the timing routines (and timeouts) to take 40 times longer. I'm about to go measure the CPU boot speed now...
2. The flash file system randomly dissapears from flash memory. At this stage I am not sure why, it could just be a faulty flash chip in the test device. I will be working on getting the SD card memory working instead. Then I can go back and re-visit the internal flash memory problem.
I may get these issues solved by Friday night, I may not. If I don't then I won't be posting the beta software until after we return from SEMA around mid Novemeber.
