This is interesting but I think it's straying a bit off-topic for tech@ - I think misc would be alright for general information about the machine, though things which are clearly problems with the hw/bios (like not being able to exit memtest - this is the same on APU1 btw) should go to the vendor.

No it freezes after the "rebooting..." message appears. It isn't before the firmware restarts. Hopefully the next firmware release will some kind of fix for this. On 16/11/15 16:00, Chris Cappuccio wrote: Noth [nothingn...@citycable.ch] wrote: Hi again, I think I've found a bug: if I

Hi again, I think I've found a bug: if I have a console session open using minicom or cu when rebooting, the machine hangs. This doesn't happen with either CentOS Linux 7 or FreeBSD 10.2 / 11. I can reproduce the problem. Anyone else have this issue ? Cheers, Noth On 15/11/15 10:09,

Got two APU2b4 boards yesterday, and they fail to boot 5.8 or -current, i386 or amd64, from USB early in the process (see below). So far, I could not figure out if there are differences to your setup from your dmesgs. Eventually, did you revceive an earlier hardware revision APU2a4, with an

Many thanks Stuart! > set tty com0 Bingo, and then reduce serial line speed from 115k to 9600 :-)

you got stuck at the same place I did. For i386/amd64 you have to tell boot you want serial output either at the boot prompt or via boot.conf. stty com0 115200 set tty com0 See archive: http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-misc=144531335118929=2 And this should be on misc@ anyway. Take care. Daniel

Not much different to report with the 2 GB model, other than the expected changes in memory size and ethernet chips. Everything seems to work well. Taking into account Mr. Cappuccio's advice on using thermal paste between the CPU and heat spreader, and also positioning it bottom-up, this one
