    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>

      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>
