Hi, do you have this issue with all 7 modules ? |

GPIO11 and RST can be left unconnected I connected only TX, RX, Grounds, 3v3 and pull-ups on RST (Pin33) and GPIO11 based on the schematics of dev-board. The module starts up, seems to not react to serial input, the serial console is the following: |

1. First I tried unconnected GPIO11 and RST without pull-ups. The result had been the same that's why I connected the pull-ups by the dev-borad schematics. 2. I tried a 2nd C2 with Gnd, 3V3, TX, RX no pull-ups and the result is the same. Any idea? |

If you use 3.3V or 5V serial port adapter TX pin must be connected via 2x resistor divider because Carambola2 serial port voltage is 2.5V |

Thanks for the advice. I used a Sparkfun FTDI USB/serial converter as power source, also. I will try with independent 3V3 power. The 2.6V serial is interesting. I haven't seen it in the documentation. Anyway, I will try. Thank you. George |

You were right, it was a power problem, it starts now perfectly. By the way, what is the minimal amperage that is needed? George |
