Dear Andreas,

Maybe I can find such a device, but I have no idea how to connect it to my 
system to get some characters on a screen.

I restrict myself to getting all the images for the Raspberry Pi 1B and 2B 
from http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/ARM:/Factory:/Contrib:/

Should I use another source for the images.

After putting an image on the (micro-)SD card I test the image with a 
connected HDMI screen and an Ethernet cable, so I can watch how the system 
boots. When I report a black screen, this means I do not seen ANY information 
on the HDMI screen. It does not boot means I do not see the Ethernet 
connection coming up.

Furthermore I can change files on the SD card in case this is relatively 
simple. Putting a new kernel on it is beyond my capabilities. I do realize I 
am part of the team, but I have limited capabilities. Reporting about what 
works and not is about all I can do. After that I hope I am quite willing to 
regularly follow a cookbook type of procedure and report about the results. I 
once did something quite simple in OBS.
