Hi kesey,
Many thanks for sharing your findings.
I have tried the suggested method but to no avail. I have literally
entered the following commands:
pacman -Syy
pacman -Su
pacman -Sy uboot-wandboard
but after rebooting I was not able to SSH to my WQuad anymore.
When you get a chance could you please let me have your thoughts?
Thanks a lot!
