Troubleshooting
Possible causes of board test failure:
●
Coax cable not properly connected between OUT+ of
the serializer to IN+ of the deserializer.
●
PCLKIN is not applied (e.g., FG output is disabled):
Verify signal at the pins on the board.
●
PCLKIN function generator output is not correct:
Verify signal at the pins on the board.
●
Incorrect jumper setting on the deserializer board:
Reverify.
●
Incorrect jumper setting on the serializer board:
Reverify.
●
Bus selection on the GUI is not consistent with
jumpers’ position on the boards
●
Check and verify that the USB cable has been
properly connected.
●
USB port has locked: Exit application/GUI; remove the
USB cable from the board and reinsert and relaunch
the GUI.
● Nuvoton μC is not communicating: Exit the application/
GUI and remove the USB cable from the board and
reinsert, then relaunch the GUI.
●
Deserializer board is faulty: Try a different board
(if available).
●
Serializer board is faulty: Try a different board
(if available).
