I'm trying to boot the Parallella for the first time using 15.04 HDMI version and I cannot get it working.
Here's a summary of what's going on...
I see three green LEDs lit up on the board itself, all steady.
Ethernet. Green LED comes on for a few seconds, then the orange LED flashed continuously (forever apparently...).
USB micro to USB adapter with wireless dongle connecting a keyboard/touchpad combo.
HDMI micro to HDMI connected. I see a white underscore character in the top left and nothing more...ever. No boot messages, but the monitor at least thinks it has a valid HDMI connection.
Power supply (the one the Parallella 16 came with).
16GB microSD with 15.04 HDMI version for my board: Zynq 7010 version.
I cannot see the MAC address from my router and I could not find an IP with a port scan. I have no way to SSH into the board or to see boot message (I don't have a serial cable).
I tried the same setup with various alternate cables and microSD cards of various brands and sizes. Nothing works.
Any ideas on what I can do short of buying a serial cable and debugging it from there?
Thanks,
Michael
