i don't currently have access to the DB410C (colleague has wandered off with it), but what should be a couple simple questions. i'm reading the Installation Guide here:https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Dragonboard-410c-Installation... roid#create--install-a-rescue-image
and the basic recipe for installing the latest debian image without using fastboot is given in the section:https://github.com/96boards/documentation/wiki/Dragonboard-410c-Installation... roid#flashing-the-sd-card-image-to-the-db410c
i notice that that section clearly instructs the user to hook up a mouse, keyboard and monitor to do this graphically. can you not do that same install without all that hardware, like through the console port?This section describes how to use the graphical installer (from SD card) and this is why USB keyboard and display are needed. However there are other methods , such as the one you mentioned later in your email, which don't require USB keyboard and display.
In fact you can even use the graphical installer from the command line serial console (e.g. Without the GUI, but this is not documented ;).
ah, that would solve the problem, then. any reason why that's not documented? it's the first possibility that occurred to me to look for.
