I set up a FTDI cable and I can talk to the 0 port. That's the good news. I can see it try to boot but it has errors.
I can't install via USB because my problem is I can't connect via the USB. So I want to put in a fresh install. Nuke it. I put a ISO image on a SD card but I'm not sure how to get the BBBlue to load it. Thanks!
