Just to say my batch 3 is working great ! I just got the Helios4 to boot Archlinux (thanks Gontran !) directly from a SSD on sata1, thanks to @aprayoga ealier tip in this thread about using the scsi command in uboot. That's nice, no more microSD card !

Thanks @aprayoga, this is great news. As an alternative, is it also possible to write directly U-Boot to the SATA1 disk (the process should be similar to the microSD card process described in Wiki) and boot it directly by setting the SW1 dipswitch to SATA1 value ?

Hi @gprovost, Reading the wiki while waiting for the Batch3 , I was wondering if it would be possible to boot directly to a sata disk... SPI-NOR Flash wiki page only mentions booting to a microSD card or USB drives. Would something like the following work ? ext4load sata 0:1 Or does the concurrent access issue between SPI NOR Flash and SATA drives currently prevents this ? Thanks.

Hi @gprovost, in https://wiki.kobol.io/wol/ wiki page (very nice wiki btw !), there is a mention to a "Wake on GPIO", but on the GPIO wiki page (https://wiki.kobol.io/gpio/) I could not find any mention of the PIN allowing to wakeup a suspended system. Is this GPIO exposed on the J12 header (I would like to implement a timer based wakeup). Thanks, a future "batch 3" user. Update: I just checked the R1 schematics, and it seems that J12 header is unrelated to the Armada GPIO, but maybe wake on timer is already supported by the kernel (Armada 3xx functional spec mentions Wake on Timer support) ?
