DBPXA250 and DBPXA210 Development Platforms Specification Update Description Public Release Removed 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, from Intel® BBPXA2xx Development Baseboard. Removed 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 11, 12 from Intel® DCPXA250 processor card. Modified 12, on the BBPXA2xx Development Baseboard.
We have endeavored to include all documented errata in the consolidation process; however, we make no representations or warranties concerning the completeness of the Intel DBPXA210 Development Platforms for Intel Update. This document may also contain information that was not previously published.
Nomenclature Errata are design defects or errors. These may cause the Intel Development Platforms for Intel Hardware and software designed to be used with any given stepping must assume that all errata documented for that stepping are present on all devices unless otherwise noted.

Perform the following steps to fix the problem. Workaround: 1. Replace U12, MAX6348XR40 with MAX6379XR44. 2. Update U53/U54 with the latest code. Refer to http://developer.intel.com for latest FPGA updates. One bit was added in the Miscellaneous Read register, bit 9, for cable detection state. Bit 9: logic low = attach, logic high = detach.

The X-RDY signal is tied low via R76B. This renders the port inactive. Users of the BBPXA2xx development baseboard cannot use the expansion bus for development. Implication: Remove R76B and update U46 with the latest CPLD code. Refer to http://developer.intel.com for Workaround: latest CPLD updates.
