did anyone had any success to boot this board with routerOS from an SD card?
netinstall cannot produce a bootable SD.
if i do the x86 iso boot installation in a VM, and installed RouterOS to the SD card there.
it started booting in the APU but hangs soon
PCEngines apu3
coreboot build 20170302
2032 MB DRAM
SeaBIOS (version rel-1.10.0.1)
Press F10 key now for boot menu
Booting from Hard Disk...
Loading system with initrd
the same happens with routeros installed on a USB stick
OK, finally managed to boot it from SATA. The process was the following:
then connect it to the SATA port on the APU board, connect console, set your terminal emulator’s rate to 115200.
routeros will boot, and seemingly hang after displaying loading.initrd message.
the console defaults to 9600 after routerOS has been booted. the usual 2 beeps confirm, that it is up and running.
so altogether i managed to install RouterOS on it, but this was like a conversation with Zuzu Petals.
after login i was greeted with an empty device:

that is no external USB support, no ethernet support. whatever supported mPCIe cards you insert they will probably work though. but without wired ethernet support, this is just cumbersome.
only the internal USB headers work:

the external ones seem to be USB3.0, by the way. also, the SD card slot is directly driven by the SOC, so this is not a regular USB-to-SD bridge, hence it is not supported.
