Yes access is either via serial console using cu command or via remote SSH
access through LAN or WiFi. When these USB input devices are plugged-in
then you can see it in the console via dmesg that they are detected. I can
run the X Window with startx command or with xenodm desktop manager. The
login page of xenodm and the xterm window of X I suppose to use my keyboard
by typing my credential or move the cursor with my USB mouse. These were
the things I cannot do as the keyboard and mouse seems to freeze-up.

HDMI works with the X Window and the xenodm but not on boot messages where
I suppose to raise this issue on another thread. I already have the 'set
tty fb0' in the /etc/boot.conf to no avail. Not sure if there are still
missing parameters that I should add in the configurations or enable any
DTBs in the config.txt.
