Debug port is fixed and I now get the console messages. It seems to have been a faulty wire connection. 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.
