Debug port is fixed and I now get the console messages. It seems to
have been a faulty wire connection.<br>
<br>
Next week it is IEEE 802 in Atlanta, so it will be a week before I
test out Centos on the sata on this card. If all goes well with
that, I move this board to a 'good buy'. But I would like to get
some performance testing tools to see how it compares with the
Cubieboard2.<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
</div>
Have you looked at the pcduino3
nano lite.<br>
</div>
$15 and it looks like it meets all
your specs.<br>

<div>It has everything in the
kernel and uboot and works
with Fedora 23 with no
modifications.<br>
</div>
<div>I've got Yor Linux armv7
build working on it, so I'm
quite certain it will work
with CentOS arm build, but I
have not tested it.<br>
</div>

</div>
<div>There are two downsides
to this board.<br>
</div>
<div>1 - the sata (and power
cable) are sold separately<br>

<br>
</span> Ah, I see it does have a sata
port. I missed that the first time.<br>
<br>
And it looks like it has the 5V power
out that will hopefully power any HD up
to 1A.<br>
<br>
If it uses the same uboot as the pcduino
3 nano, then I can take the Cubietruck
image and dd the appropriate uboot and
boot.<br>
<br>
Have you tested it? The big test is to
only have uboot on a 4Gb mSD and the
whole image on the Sata HD and see if it
switches over like the Cubieboard does.
Otherwise there is a lot of
customization needed.<br>
<br>
</div>
</blockquote>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Yes, I've tested it. It used the same
uboot and kernel dtd as the pcduino 3
nano.<br>
</div>
<div>I have a couple of the pcduino 3 nano
machines and ordered a couple of the
lite's, so I've used both. I used the
nano uboot on the lite and it worked with
no modifications. I also did nothing with
the kernel and it worked great.<br>

To connect a USB/TTL adapter and run (as I do for my
Cubieboards)<br>
<br>
screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200<br>
<br>
And nothing. So I really want to have this working to
bring up C7 on it for testing.<br>

<div>I don't have an adaptor for the serial ports, so I've
just been using the hdmi, which works great. But I
guess then you have to hook up a hdmi and usb keyboard,
which might make things harder, depending on your setup.<br>

</div>
</div>

<br>
I also have connected that way, but it is a pain not being able to
cut-n-paste from notes on how to configure C7. I can ssh in, but
with the console I know I can get away with a lot. Plus I can
save the console session and review it for problems. A lot of
items I have detected through the console session logs.<br>
<br>
You can get the converters really cheap on ebay. Every board I
have has one permanently installed, so I can always get into the
console. I buy them in a 5 unit lot from a china supplier at $5
for the lot.<br>
