How it's going? The board is still completely unusable to me.
BTW, speaking of firmware version - is it possible that recently bought board may not have an U-boot? I've connected RS-232 to the board's serial connector and I see nothing there. No boot messages, no prompt, nothing. At recommended 115200 baud. USB connection works after boot, but I believe it's not possible to update firmware on the board through it, as you need to interrupt the boot process to do so.
