Re: [Cerowrt-devel] trying a pcengines box

Dear Luis:

Well, the boards arrived today...

Yea! The right gender serial port! A serial bios that...

I tried to boot ubuntu 16.04, from a usb stick, it goes right to the memtest
I put in tinyOS on the SDcard slot, it's not recognised as a bootable
option in the first place.
I enable pxe-boot, it doesn't show up in the menu
I read up on bootloader upgrades, it appears you need to have a booted
os to run the bootloader upgrade.

? How do I get the darn thing booted?

Aside from that ( :) ), it's a very good looking board that could do
exactly what I need, for two full length radios (or one half length
with an adaptor), I guess I'd find a machine shop to drill 4 new holes
for antennas.

I'm a little nervous about the heat spreader also - the single cpu
memtest hits 60C.
