Again, the Switch did not allow me to do *any* I/O other than the serial console and SD card. Heck, my UART "adapter" (wires soldered to spare joycon rail) is so janky that the characters were sometimes corrupted :D > Yeah, joke:-) but as long as there`s access to it he could do it… java was originally intended to run on a washing machine..

On the Switch, you inject coreboot with an edk2/u-boot/whatever payload via the USB bug. On the Jetson, you could probably flash coreboot on the usual flash chip and it would boot normally maybe I guess??.. > Thanks for the very interesting details! …. >> Should we use these informations in Wiki respectively are >> you(&Mikael) interested in this? > > I'm not really interested in nvidia hardware, no. > >> I don`t have a Jetson available but thinking of it… > > My advice would be don't support that green company. > Hmm, related to what you wrote it seems to be a must have to buy a Jetson :-) Regards Klaushelp
