great work! Thanks for sharing!

I failed to create a working Debian sdcard image for RIoTboard. Also failed with Ubuntu.

Now I wanted to give Archlinux a try but I could not find the files you attribute to Selsinork. Seems like the user is gone.

Any chance you have some reference (links) to the Selsinork work - the files you put into dsave would be helpful, too.

Thank you

Good post.

I am getting close to firing up my RioT board.

I purchased a PicoScope to look at the Uart output. I want to see how the board looks at raw boot.

Thanks

Out of curiosity, when it updates the kernel what version does it use ? I'm interested in why there's no hdmi output as hdmi certainly works on debian, so there's some unknown difference there. (also, a kernel less than 3.16-rc will have issues with i2c4 unless they've backported the patch)

I used to like Arch, but after their crazy break-everything move to /usr I don't use it anymore. I'd rather not use something where the devs don't care about killing your system on upgrade [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-fdf87b5a-a636-4c42-8da2-6a0a11330d02/contentimage_5F00_2.png:16:16]
