Hi again, so I think the image runs pretty stable, as far as I can see from playing around with it half a day. There are a few minor issues here, and I hope you can help me out.
1) the ethernet is not working. I have no idea how to get that to work. Insmod of the driver does not do anything; nor any external powering. Is there anything going wrong, probably with the device tree loaded through startup? 2) which is even more annoying is that the board does not recognize a single USB device. I can get output over HDMI to a VGA screen, but dmesg does not report anything on connected USB devices - as if the USB hub was completely dead. I think I can live without the ethernet, as long as the usb gadget works, but living without USB is a pita. Clemens Am Samstag, 21.
