HDMI is working
I've tried to keep track of the things that work/don't work in my readme:

Instructions posted here: https://github.com/l3iggs/tbs2910-from-scratch/wiki/Flashing-u-boot-onto-the-tbs2910 These instructions assume you want to flash your tbs2910 from a computer running linux. As of this writing, these these instructions also assume you have DHCP and TFTP servers configured pr...

There are many who are trying to figure out a reliable way to update a linux system using linux tools and the progress in that direction has been little at best. When it happens, you'll know it. Jim I've figured it out. Here are instructions: https://github.com/l3iggs/tbs2910-from-scratch/wiki/Flas...

Thanks for pointing that out. I had a typo in the link in my instructions. Fixed now: https://github.com/l3iggs/tbs2910-from-scratch/wiki/Get,-patch-and-build-the-kernel It's actually irrelevant anyway because the kernal patch is empty. It's just there as a place holder in case I need to patch somet...

There's no need to do any soldering to boot from the SD card or a USB stick or the network for that matter. The switch on the board tells the CPU where to initially look to load the u-boot firmware(bios) from, that's it. It's fine that the board is hardwired to load u-boot from the eMMC chip, we kno...

I've gotten the GPIO working. So I can turn on the fan and off the blue LED: As root: echo 2 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo 92 > /sys/class/gpio/export echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio2/direction echo "out" > /sys/class/gpio/gpio92/direction echo 0 > /sys/class/gpio/gpio2/value e...

I've made a bootable Debian Sid SD card image:

You'll likely have to be running my latest version of u-boot.imx to boot from it.

Hi Everyone, I've just completed my weekend project to get my TBS2910 running Debian Sid from scratch. "From scratch" means I've complied u-boot and the Linux kernel from the latest versions of these projects and I generated the root file system using the debootstrap script. So that's: U-B...

Can anyone post a flashable u-boot with functional networking?

Edit: I've done it myself. I've posted it here for others to use if they'd like:

Instructions on flashing from Linux are also there.

O.K. slowly I am getting forward. Now I have u-boot-2014 running with 2G RAM and networking :-) I have only managed to boot the normal 3.0.35 kernel. Guess, my dtb files are somehow borked. If I try to start a newer kernel, it always stops directly after "Starting the kernel...". Btw. how...
