Hawkboard problem

Hello all,

There is a problem with many HawkBoards shipped from July through October 2010 by Farnell, Special Computing, IDA and Innovate Software Solutions. These boards are unable to boot Linux® operating system. Others who have boards that don't fall under this period can continue your development.

How to identify this board? Your OMAP version will be "OMAPL138" and DDR version reads "D9LHR"

If you have XOMAPL138, then you are safe..

HawkBoard.org and TI are investigating the situation in more detail and will work with you to ensure all faulty boards are fixed. We will post periodic updates on this mailing list as we work to resolve the issue.

Please help us prioritize and suggest alternatives to keep you going.
