I bought a waysmall 400xm-bt a couple of weeks ago, and have been using and communicating with it successfully. However, I was not getting any response from the bluetooth module. Following various tips on this board, I tried a number of configuration setting changes (by editing /etc/default/bluetooth) but nothing seemd to work. I then tried disconnecting and re-seating the basix motherboard on the expansion board via the 60-pin connector (with the power disconnected, of course). After doing this, I no longer have any serial communications with the gumstix. When I apply power, the green LED comes on and stays on, but I only get two 'bad' characters out the serial port:
␠␠


Then nothing happens. I have tried various serial connection settings from my client (i.e. different bauds, parity settings etc.) with no luck. I have also verified that the serial cable is still working.


Has anyone seen similar behavior? Can I assume there was some sort of hardware failure?


Thanks,


Rob
