RB5 showing no heartbeat


  • Hello, my I-Pi RB5 was working fine until recently, but now it is showing some strange behavior. When I try to power it on, there are no logs on the serial console (PuTTY), and nothing appears on the HDMI display either. I also tried entering EDL mode, but no ports are detected on the host PC (QFIL). The blue LED just below the SoC keeps blinking normally. Earlier, it was running NON-HLOS Ubuntu.

    What could be the possible reasons for the board not showing any signs of life, and what troubleshooting steps would you recommend?



  • Could you 1st check if your power supply is OK

    2nd can you see if there is a sequence in the blue led blinking ( this is the BMC)

    Lastly, you need to push the button while powering on the enter EDL, did you try that?
