The WLX896B typically boots with a 5-second window where UART is active. After that, the pins are repurposed as GPIO. You need to attach your serial adapter before powering the board. Part 3: Exclusive Signal Flow & Troubleshooting Why does your WLX896B get hot but show no activity? Let's consult the schematic. 3.1 The Clock Failure Trap The board uses a tiny 26MHz crystal (X1) and a 32.768kHz RTC crystal (X2). The exclusive note from the schematics: The WLX896B will not start if the 32.768kHz crystal is missing even if the main 26MHz is present. This is because the PMIC uses the low-speed clock for its power sequencing FSM. wlx896b schematic exclusive
