Hmm.....just wondering now, is it required to > install Debian via ttyUSBx or should the text based installer work on HDMI? It may need new modules added for the framebuffer video output; at one point many years ago I had gotten a wandboard quad (also imx6, like the cubox-i) to boot debian-installer on the video console, but then support was enabled for video acceleration in the kernel and I never tracked down which kernel modules were needed to enable in the installer to get the framebuffer video back again... It's no fun playing kernel module .udeb whack-a-mole :/ live well, vagrant
