Re: A single-board computer for NetBSD

2020-08-28 Thread Martin Husemann
I have used APU systems for a different purpose too, and only have good
experiences. The CPUs are relatively slow, the boxes are rock solid even
when used outside of normal office conditions.

But (since this started with an ERLITE3) there is one downside: as amd64
the CPUs unfortunately have the wrong endianess ;-}

coreboot isn't perfect but at least its being actively maintained and 
developed for the APU. I had a soekris box in the past and once they 
went out the door bios updates were few and far between.

Maybe this is verbatim: have you done a "lpc enable colour" on the remote
machine?
