From 979dfd8e68f01e7d2b827588ae1c3b779ef72801 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Francis Rowe Date: Sat, 16 May 2015 08:30:04 -0400 Subject: External flashing guides: don't refer to red. Colour blindness is real, and quite common. What's worse, 3.3V on an ATX PSU is an orange wire, not a red wire. Someone looking at "red" in the documentation might not think that you mean 3.3V live/hot (red is the standard colour), but instead they might connect the red wire from the ATX PSU which is 5V; this will destroy the flash chip. Also, red and orange look the same to most colour blind people. --- (limited to 'docs/install/x60_unbrick.html') diff --git a/docs/install/x60_unbrick.html b/docs/install/x60_unbrick.html index 6bbe3c5..859dd9a 100644 --- a/docs/install/x60_unbrick.html +++ b/docs/install/x60_unbrick.html @@ -129,7 +129,7 @@ the BBB for flashing.
Note, the guide mentions a 3.3v DC PSU but you don't need this on the X60: if you don't have or don't want to use an external PSU, then make - sure not to connect the red/black 3.3v leads mentioned in the guide; + sure not to connect the 3.3v leads mentioned in the guide; instead, connect the AC adapter (the one that normally charges your battery) so that the board has power (but don't boot it up)
