Titanium Help

I finally got my Titanium put in a case. The LEDs light up but nothing comes up on the screen. All I get is LED 202 blinking. Any ideas? I have my DVI plugged into SK102 as the manual states.

Seems that’s the LED for the boot rom

If you bought it from Elesar, it might be worth using one of your support tickets?

I did reach out to them. Just wondering if it was something common. Not sure if I can try booting from a MicroSD card?

but nothing comes up on the screen

One possibility comes to mind. The Titanium specifies 16M colours at 1920 × 1080 @ 60fps. It can display larger but there a couple of simple hoops first to get that to work. With a Full HD monitor there should be something on the screen even if any connected drives are empty.

A way to detect life in a blank screen situation is F12 to the command prompt then CTRL-G should beep.

I have my DVI plugged into SK102 as the manual states.

The “wrong” DVI port outputs an 800*600 static graphic. That would be worth a look if there is a monitor or bandwidth problem.

Not sure if I can try booting from a MicroSD card?

The Titanium will boot from an SDFS microSD or a SCSI USB device, it will not boot from anything FAT formatted.

The bootloader and the ROM /Kernel (for the Linux only Titanium) are placed on board and is flashable from the OS. So only the second state of booting is possible from SDFS, USB or SATA.
As I changed my power supply there was an other problem. The power supply was not working because the Titanium is “underpowered”. Give them more devices and all was working.

LED 201 is on in standby and off if the Ti is booting or on.
LED 202 is short on if booting starts. After all out.

Long story short it was the power supply. I ended up purchasing a Corsair PSU instead of the Silverstone that I had originally purchased which was more expensive but a nice conversation with Elesar Support got me in the right direction. I did try adding a load with fan and a mechanical HDD but that still wasn’t enough. Going to prep my SSD tonight but at least it’s booting now.

Those stupid economical ARM computers… ;-)

I had a 550W no-name PSU that could only power the Titanium correctly if in addition to the board and the SSD, there was also a HDD and two DVD writers connected.

I think you need to look for “zero load design” and/or “support for C6/C7 Deep Power Down modes” to find a suitable PSU. I ended up with a be quiet! Straight Power 10 (400W).
