Re: Deep Computing DC-ROMA ii won't boot
Good evening Mr. Reiser,
unfortunately, DeepComputing hasn't released any downloadable images, or documentation regarding the boot process.
The description for your issue makes me believe that the FML13V03 board (your DC-ROMA gen II model) probably needs something like u-boot, similar to the FML13V01 board (the previous revision).
That would explain why the two "generic" Debian images won't boot once flashed on any medium. AFAIK, the Gen II model is not supported by Debian yet either. Hopefully we can, once documentation and hardware is more readily available.
Have you tried what distro DeepComputing shipped with the device (if they did)? If so, what CPU name is reported by fastfetch/neofetch/System Info under Settings?
That info might possibly be able to clear up some stuff, and open the door to another port.
Thanks and best regards,
Lucy Mielke
