    Thank you for that great OS,

    Is it possible to get the new Uboot version (this version is not working if you don't do a manual replacement of the Uimage)

    Is it normal not having a swap partition ?

    Best regards

    HI all.

    Have got the quad image up and running on my board. I've noticed there is a known issue with the serial connection where it stops at a point during the boot sequence. As it happens, I need to get this to work as my Udoo is going to be the core of a robot so I need to be able to connect to it over serial from a PC occasionally in order to log into it an administer it (in the situation where wifi / network is unavailable or unreliable for some tasks).

    Is there a solution to this as I'd prefer to to use the minimal install as the max ubuntu one is terrible for my use.

    Cheers
    Andrew

    Yep!

    Edit file
    /etc/inittab

    Change line
    Code:
    T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100
    to

    Code:
    #T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100
    T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttymxc1 115200 vt100
    Let me know!

    Thanks for that - in the end I actually found a bunch of other things I needed to do as well so I've rolled my own version of minimal Ubuntu 14.04 which works quite nicely!

    Hey, I just installed minimal debian on my udoo and when I'm trying to connect through serial port all i have is black window. No data in or out. Is serial ssh already on in this distro?

    To enable serial debug you just need to edit

    Code:
    /etc/inittab
    Change line

    Code:
    T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100
    into


    Code:
    #T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttyS0 115200 vt100
    T0:23:respawn:/sbin/getty -L ttymxc1 115200 vt100

    Save file and reboot. Voilà!
