The platform works really well (I have one). There is no graphics
support though, so you'll have to use a serial console.  The standard
serial speed is 1500000 baud (which isn't always supported by usb
serial converters) but the U-Boot firmware in ports has been patched
to support a more standard 115200.

The main problem is that board comes with firmware already installed
on eMMC and the board boots from eMMC first.  I worked around that by
zapping the contents of the eMMC from Linux (risky).  Then the board
will boot from uSD.  It is also possible to flash the eMMC over one of
the USB ports, but you'd need a machine with Linux and/or Windows to
do that.

Cheers,

Mark
