Jack Hickish gave me a Roach2 to try to test.

I pluged in USB to the port labeled “FTDI USB”. On my MAC “screen /dev/tty.usbserial-FA1302 115200” started the terminal session.

So, I need to set up TFTP to get this to boot an OS.

The Roach2 requires network boot and a TFTP server on that server. I set up the sonata1 server (10.1.49.80, sonata, polaris).

apt-get install dnsmasq
