Well, the boards arrived today...<br>
<br>
Yea! The right gender serial port! A serial bios that...<br>
<br>
I tried to boot ubuntu 16.04, from a usb stick, it goes right to the memtest<br>
I put in tinyOS on the SDcard slot, it's not recognised as a bootable<br>
option in the first place.<br>
I enable pxe-boot, it doesn't show up in the menu<br>
I read up on bootloader upgrades, it appears you need to have a booted<br>
os to run the bootloader upgrade.<br>
<br>
? How do I get the darn thing booted?<br>
<br>
Aside from that ( :) ), it's a very good looking board that could do<br>
exactly what I need, for two full length radios (or one half length<br>
with an adaptor), I guess I'd find a machine shop to drill 4 new holes<br>
for antennas.<br>
<br>
I'm a little nervous about the heat spreader also - the single cpu<br>
memtest hits 60C.<br>
