  • Bela mini audio codec issue

Hello,
After soldering the Bela mini cap to a pocket beagleboard, I have issue running the examples programs
I get the following error :

Building project ...
make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
Build finished
Running project ...
Error: unable to start I2C audio codec
Error: unable to start real-time audio
Failed to join audio thread: (3) No such process
make: *** [runide] Error 1
Makefile:579: recipe for target 'runide' failed
Bela stopped

Windows is also giving an error when connecting, saying that it needs to repair the 'bela boot' drive but I can open it and see the files, don't know if it is normal...

I tried the 'i2cdetect -y -r 2' command and got this:

root@bela ~/Bela# i2cdetect -y -r 2
     0  1  2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9  a  b  c  d  e  f

My soldering skills being what they are, it seems like everything is ok...

I need help!

Thanks!

Hi, unfortunately judging from the picture in your email, you soldered the cape the wrong way around. I followed up via email with the next possible steps.
