The i= 2 is the dual-lite SOM and the image has the dtb file for the dual/quad var= iant. It could be he's hitting a kernel panic due to mis-configuration? Just a thought.

The cubox is likely booting just fine and sitting at a login prompt that you can't see. The cubox has a built in usb-serial adapter for the console. Just plug a micro-usb cable into the slot to the right of the sdcard and connect it to any computer with a terminal program (on freebsd use cu -l /dev/cuaU0 -s 115200). -- Ian _______________________________________________ freebsd-arm@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-arm To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-arm-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
