Julian,
from the main website I went to:
http://robosavvy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=32329
I looked at there instructions and it seem that your box is very picky at
which SD card to use and how to prepare it as well how much voltage the box
needs.
Though those instructions are for ubuntu I think hardware wise we can talk
in general.

All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
Why? It contains a definitive record of application performance, security
threats, fraudulent activity, and more. Splunk takes this data and makes
