Hi,

I continue this solo thread with some news, as I spoke too soon.

I was able to boot, to configure everything and run it for a while.  As
long as you don't cut power to the module abruptly, it works.

It has already happened to me twice that, after simply removing the
module from its socket, it enters a state where it is not able to
completely boot anymore.  It stops after probing ue0 and after
recognising the keyboard.  It is not a hang, since if I press
ctrl+alt+canc it does a clean reboot, but it just stops the boot there,
as if it's waiting for something that is not probing.

In a normal boot sequence, after the messages I see there would be ue0
going down, then up, and then I would get the login prompt.

If anyone is willing to have a look, I can setup access to a serial
console connected to the module.

Ciao!
