820-8435 - missing resistor?

[jpadie]

In hunting around a board I find that there is a resistor on the schematic and boardview (R1906) that seems to connect the 25MHz crystal pins (SYSCLK_CLK25M_X2_R and _L) serving U1900. It's rated at 1MOhm.

The pads look clean and unused. and electrically the resistor doesn't look like it would do much other than provide a bias for start-up.

Is this intentionally/acceptably missing from the board or perhaps another thing that got lost in the original short circuit? I can't tell from the crystal whether it has a bias resistor internally.

thanks in advance,
Justin

The schematic says No Stuff, so there is nothing physically attached to those points.

Thank you John. I had seen that but, not being an entirely native English speaker, I had not put the proverbial 2 and 2 together and realised that meant what you said. Now that you write it, it's rather obvious!
