Hi Kristian! The RB200 series uses a 9600,n,8,1 serial console. The RB500 series uses a 115200,n,8,1 serial console. These are the defaults and can be configured in the BIOS for future boots. I'll flip a coin to pick which console rate to use (and therefore what image to use) and go from there! I don't think I can loan a board, but I should be able to donate a little time to test some images. Let me know how you'd like to proceed with testing. The ability to control the on-board LEDs, if possible, would be a bonus. There is 1 user LED on the RB5xx and 4 user LEDs on the RB2xx.
