As always: the documentation is outdated :( This got fixed in December. Technical background: Suse is among the few distros to use U-Boot, and U-Boot has this "press any key to stop autoboot". The debug port is also the only serial available up to now at that point, and if the line is configured as RX and left floating, it looks like a key press... The debug probe (or any USB-to-serial, like all we developers here have connected ;) would pull it up and we'd never notice. IIRC Ivan somehow managed to tell U-Boot to ignore the floating UART RX, so this should no longer be a problem. If it still is, please report here, otherwise we can remove the caveat. Torsten
