The assembly guide is a very important document for building the OpenVario. Unfortunately there are some fotos of prototypes included, which differ in some details from the current version. To avoid confusion for the builders, here is an overview about the wrong or outdated pictures:
The Openvario Assembly Guide.pdf has several fotos with wrong oriented 3.3 V requlator (IC 1 TS2940) on the adapterboard. The Fig. No. 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 24, 33, 37 are affected.
In the same document, the UART-cable between Cubieboard and Adapterboard is rotated. This can be seen in Fig. 18 and Fig. 19. The OpenVario will not boot if the UART0-cable is rotated. Exchange RX and TX in this case.
