Hello all,
I am in the process of building my Handyboard.  I have installed the CPU
and some of the voltages seem suspect.  For example the E-clock signal
seems to be about 2.3 volts and the main system power measured at the +5
Volts terminal for the LCD connector reads 5.13 volts.  However, the main
prblem is that I can not get my computer to communicate with the
Handyboard.  I tested the board on a Windows machine with no problems,
however, I have a Macintosh and am using 6811 dowloade.  I know that all
the cables are fine.  I always get an error that says "Did not recieve
echo byte (0) from board.  Check board connections and power."  I have
installed the memory and LCD now and still get the same error although it
seems to work fine under Windows.  One last thing.  The voltage supplying
the 32 K ram reads 5.2 volts.  If anyone has any ideas why my mac won't
communicate with the handyboard it would be greatly appreciated.  I am
right out of ideas.

1. don't worry about the slightly out of spec voltages, +/- 5% is just not a problem. 2. you have already demonstrated that your board HW is OK by communicating from a Windows system. therefore 3. it is probably a cabling problem from your mac. you (...)
