[Macchiato] First boot

[Stuart Monteith]

Hello,
  I thought I’d share my findings so far with my revision 1.3 MacchiatoBIN.

I’ve put uEFI onto an SD card, and configured the jumpers appropriately. I’ve used Leif’s flash-image-17.10.bin

I found the daily netinst isos hung early on during booting.

I put onto a USB stick a Debian mini.iso image from 2018-01-15:
   https://d-i.debian.org/daily-images/arm64/daily/netboot/mini.iso

and then booted into that, using the front USB2 socket and the 1GB ethernet socket.
It installed successfully onto a 120GB WD SSD connected to one of the SATA ports.

When rebooting, I get to an EFI prompt. To boot, I type:
   fs0:\EFI\debian\aa64grub.efi

and it then boots to a command line.

The kernel version:
    Linux version 4.14.0-2-arm64 (debian-kernel at lists.debian.org) (gcc version 7.2.0 (Debian 7.2.0-18)) #1 SMP Debian 4.14.7-1 (2017-12-22)

and the CPU info:

$ lscpu
Architecture:        aarch64
Byte Order:          Little Endian
CPU(s):              4
On-line CPU(s) list: 0-3
Thread(s) per core:  1
Core(s) per socket:  2
Socket(s):           2
NUMA node(s):        1
Model:               1
BogoMIPS:            50.00
NUMA node0 CPU(s):   0-3
Flags:               fp asimd evtstrm aes pmull sha1 sha2 crc32 cpuid

So, all in all, looking good. I’ll next run some tests on it to check that it is reliable. It is apparently configured to run at 2GHz - I had to do this as I wouldn’t have enough jumpers to boot from the SD card! When building OpenJDK multi-threaded the CPU was running at about 42 degrees Celsius - the fan is doing its job.

BR,
   Stuart
