It is rem'ed out on the SD card. I can't get at any drive on the board itself since it won't boot. Using FTDI I can get to the board somewhat but don't know how to LS into it when it says I am not specifying a proper interface. All the googling about u-boot is either a generic Help dump that I can see in the terminal or talks about creating your own u-boot.
Thanks for the help. On Thursday, October 31, 2019 at 7:54:11 PM UTC-4, jonnymo wrote: > > Have you ensured the 'cmdline=' entry at the bottom of the uEnv.txt file > is commented out?
