The oxidation is a common issue on the ferrite inductors. It is related to exposure to heat and is cosmetic in nature. We think we have a way to prevent that so we will be implementing that on the next round of boards. Here is a little blurb from DigiKey about it http://www.digikey.com/en/pdf/v/vishay-dale/effect-surface-oxidation-ihlp
As to the other three issues, those are related to updating these boards from the TI X15 EVM use to the BeagleBoard-X15 use. None of these will be the case on the actual B1 run of boards. -Removal of the jumpers and addition of the resistors. Looks like a soldering iron slip. Should not have gone out. -Addition of the Heatsink. Missed inspection. -Addition of the fan connector. Not sure what the issue was there, but should not be an issue on the full production run as it is mounted by default, not as a modiication. -Removal of current measurement headers (Totally removed on the B1 version). These will be correct on the production run. Gerald On Fri, Sep 23, 2016 at 8:51 AM, <czinge...@gmail.com> wrote: > Two weeks ago, I got four boards from RS Components.
