Hi. I am hoping to use my A13 w wifi board as a Reprap controller, and have encountered one or two problems.
I have installed two or three of the different pre-made Debian images on the SD card at various stages. Unfortunately the first image I tried doesn't seem to have support for the CP210x drivers needed by my USB<->serial cable (which uses the CP210x chips rather than the FTDI ones).
So I tried the latest version (R19 if I recall correctly) of the image built by jwischka and mentioned in this thread (https://www.olimex.com/forum/index.php?topic=537.msg7290#msg7290). Unfortunately that image isn't even booting for me (will try to look into what's going on myself).
If I recall correctly, I transferred the image to the card simply using
dd if=olinuxino_xfce-r19.img of=/dev/sdb
I can mount the main file-system on the second partition (/dev/sdb2) afterwards so I'm pretty sure it was done correctly. This has something to do with the U-boot or first partition (/dev/sdb1) set-up maybe? (I know very little about U-boot - so please forgive my ignorance.)
While I'm looking in to this myself (yes, I am R'ing TFM!), I was just wandering if anyone who is more familiar with these boards could point me in the right direction? (Basically I just want to get a Linux OS on the A13 board communicating with my Gen7 Electronics Reprap host controller via a CP201x USB<->serial converter).
