Is this ld to be executed already when booting the installer or only after 
booting when performing the steps for installation?

I noticed that, in the Debian installer image, I have a lot of kernel messages 
on the serial console while in the Trisquel installer image, I don't have them. 
I don't know whether this is because something is stopping these messages or 
because the kernel does not really start.

I guess you mean the installer for Debian?

If so, no it does not work fine: even though I see on the serial console that 
the kernel started and provided a lot of normal messages, the USB keyboard and 
the HDMI display seem to be not functional. The HDMI display shows the 
installer screen for language selection but using any key on the keyboard has 
not effect.

If I use the serial console, it seems I can select the language and see the 
next steps on the serial console but not on the HDMI display. However, the 
output on the serial console probably includes some characters to switch lines 
and minicom that I am using does not use them properly then I see pieces of 
text that soon recover each other so it is not really possible to make choices 
for the next steps (I can press enter but it is not easy to see I am pressing 
enter for what).

The debian freedombox image that I tried on the same board works fine (I have 
flashed U-boot on the SPI first) but since I only interact with the board via 
the web server it runs, and after some time via ssh, so I cannot say whether 
USB and HDMI work or not, I am using neither.

I don't know whether I am using the Debian installer image correctly or not. 
However, I use it exactly the same like I did for the Olimex Olinuxino Lime 2 
and on that board, it works perfectly well.

David.
