Please don't even think about sending out a 1.2 GHz version, please.
@Grench(and others who want some thing fast): We know that 1.5GHz is possible(eval boards), thus everything less indicates a problem(sofar a unknown one). Maybe even a problem that can happen with 1.2GHz later on, after some aging.
1.7GHz or death.
Yes yes, please find the fix before releasing![]()
Yay!The reason is most probably a bad decoupling (not enough capacitors).
We WILL do another production run with quite a lot of improvements in that area, so that should fix the 1,5GHz speed.
Can you not prototype that fix by splitting a trace and bridging it with a through hole capacitor? I guess that'd be easiest on the main board, rather than the CPU board, but it shouldn't really matter where you put the capacitor I think as long as it's downstream of the power management chip.The reason is most probably a bad decoupling (not enough capacitors).

Sounds great, do whe have enough bare cpu platines to produce another run ??The reason is most probably a bad decoupling (not enough capacitors).

Is there any possibility to overclock the SoC by adding few voltage like overclock PC CPUs? If so, is it possible to refer some overclock ideas to just make the SoC runs stable enough at 1.5Ghz (not overclock it)?The reason is most probably a bad decoupling (not enough capacitors).

No, that's not possible, as all relevant traces run on an inside layer and it's actually pretty important where the capacitors sit.Can you not prototype that fix by splitting a trace and bridging it with a through hole capacitor?

It can't be done with the current CPU boards, we need new PCBs.Sounds great, do whe have enough bare cpu platines to produce another run ??
When i remember Correcly it takes 2 Months (tm) for a new run of bare cpu boards..
One of the first things I tried when testing, but doesn't have any effect.Is there any possibility to overclock the SoC by adding few voltage like overclock PC CPUs? If so, is it possible to refer some overclock ideas to just make the SoC runs stable enough at 1.5Ghz (not overclock it)?
I ditnt meant the CPU Boards (Populatet) i meant the bare platines, whitout the Parts,It can't be done with the current CPU boards, we need new PCBs.
I ditnt meant the CPU Boards (Populatet) i meant the bare platines, whitout the Parts,
The Population should be done fast, but to make the platines needs some weeks..
Can Doom 3 run on the Pyra? Would love to see that on video.Well, i would also take a 1,2 ghz unit, as im not realy wants to make that demanding tasks, like Running a Windows VM,
I just wants to play my Pandora Emus (from Atari 2600 to N64/DS/ PSX) plus Dreamcast and maybe PSP..
Also OpenMorrowind, and Doom 3..
But thats it, i ditnt want more..
So if you dotnt know where to put the 1,2 ghz Unit, i would take one...
the only thing is, that the rest should work like on the other Units, and it should run all Pyra Games..
But im no programmer, so it want help much if im take on of them..
And because im Number 27 or 28 in PreePreeorder, it want take long until i get my 1,5 ghz unit..
prob once @ptitSeb can get his hands on a prototype...Can Doom 3 run on the Pyra? Would love to see that on video.
