$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('arcangeli', 'A')ny news on this?
My jetson run Debian for now but i really prefer Arch.
mine is working in arch but its been a few weeks since ive played with it. i plan on playing with it some more this week. im hoping that latest kernel includes proper pcie drivers by now which was the only issue i had prior. i got around it using a usb ethernet dongle..which imo still made it work better than it ever did on ubuntu 14.04
im still very new to Arch linux and brand new to using ARM on linux or uboot, but after having converted all my computers and servers over to Manjaro last year from mint/ubuntu, i just couldnt resist. The tk1 was unstable at best in ubuntu. The amount of time it took me to get it working properly in 14.04 wasnt worth it considering the small number of avaiable software packages that were available. I figure if I could get it working in few hours..having zero uboot experience and little arch linux then anybody can.
my only advice is before you start get your serial cable connection tested and running and buy a nice 4 port usb3 hub along with a usb ethernet dongle..
The other thing i suggest regardless the distro is a microsoft keyboard and mouse ...avoid using logitech wireless mice or keyboards..there are workarounds and patches...but not worth dealing with during setup
