What kind of problem do I have if I get the following message:
xflash conet_8ch.xe --boot-partition-size 0x80000 --quad-spi-clock 15.62MHz
xrun: Cannot load image, XCore 0 is not enabled


real 0m8.852s
user 0m6.867s
sys 0m0.156s
I think the power stage is all right first appears 3,3V and about 2,5 to 3 ms later appears the 1V and another ms later the reset signal goes high.
I hat 26 cards where 5 of tham had this problem.
xflash -k shows:
xflash -l

Hi. Very common issue and often linked directly to the quality of the SMD assembly of the XMOS CPU.

Thank you for your quick reply. I will push our manufacturer to solder the IC more careful. Maybe they need to extend the hold time during the reflow. I will come back with our solution.
By the most of the cards are working well with about 75% yield.
The second batch had not even 50%!

OK we checked the board. Our manufacturer removed the solder paste under the chip from the solder mask! With a bit of solder paste under the chip we have no problem any more.
