Analogue-sequencer

hi,

There is nothing to do, it doesn't boot, I've even
changed the cell  just in case. Do you think the issue
could come from the beta firmware?
If I swap the cpu will I loose all my sequences?
Could you send me a new one, how do we proceed?

regards, Honoré

There is a very small chance that the CPU can corrupt
its flash contents.
This has happened to a couple of the new type CPUs,
and a few of the older
CPUs too.
It's not a significant number, but that doesn't make
it any less annoying if
it happens to yours.
It certainly should not do this - the device has a
power management
controller on board, that forces it into reset as soon
as the Vcc line goes
out of spec, and the bootloader code itself is so
simple there really isn't
any chance it can be a bug there.

If you do find your P3 CPU fails to boot after running
without problems,
just let me know and I'll send you a new CPU to swap
for the one with
amnesia.
A re-flash with the serial bootloader has fixed all
rogue CPUs, so it's not
a permanent failure - but you can't do it yourself.

I'll be trying out a different manufacturers CPU, and
will switch to that if
it works out, rather than take the chance Atmel have
some weird chip bug
going on.
