The debian-arm net-installs still stop dead after one flash of the green led. Then I start finding rumors that debian-arm isn't ready for pi4's, no device tree, and they became a mob in a few hours. So now I'm trying to get video out of raspbian, failing miserably. In the meantime I'm trying to put together another working stretch on my pi3 so I can bring my lathe back to life.
I had it working before the heart attack, but have come to the conclusion I may have over-wrote that card. Damned hard to put identifying marks on a card that physical size. They should have something like a MAC address imprinted so that one could keep an index list of what each card does. So I've given up on the pi4 till the heat sink cover and more of the micro to normal sized hdmi adapters arrive. Might be a couple weeks yet, coming from banggood. All I have for that adapter now is some sort of a 3 headed contraption I paid $16 for at wallies, and I've no clue if it works. I've never seen video come out of it. I even took the new 22" ONN monitor to the pi3 on the lathe, makes a decent pix on the pi3 at just noticeably lower contrast.
