So I got a serial cable and thus can see what works and what doesn't: - I'm using netboot daily images, writing that to the sd card - replacing kernel and initrd with the network-console daily images - using latest u-boot-exynos_2017.09+dfsg1-3_armhf - and the hardkernel u-boot tree branch

Thanks for the pointer, I didn't know that page. First I need to get things to work. Tomorrow I will get a serial cable I hope (I will try to x-wire between two odroid HC1, lets see if that works), and then I can try various parts. Andreas 2017-10-12 21:11 GMT+02:00 Harri Haataja

Hi Vagrant, as for the XU4: I have no clue on the details, but odroid/hardkernel tells us that integrating the usb2sata bridge with the board instead of an external cable should get rid of a lot of problems. I have no idea what the exact problems are with XU4 however. Also I suppose there could
