[03:25] <MarkB2> Anyone here using an Intel Joule 570x board with Ubuntu?
[03:26] <MarkB2> If so, just one question: after flashing but before installing Ubuntu, are the LEDs at board edge all supposed to light up?
[03:38] <MarkB2> Ah well.  Thought someone might have one.  The things are ..pricy.. but the specs seemed to fit my application.

[20:25] <MarkB2> I've a Joule 570x module on an expansion board and am accumulating the bits and pieces to bring it up.  Directions say to locate a USB A to microB cable (what I think they're calling a serial over USB cable).
[20:27] <MarkB2> That ..definition.. slows me down.  I see an FTDI chip on the board... It looks like all I need is a USB-A to USB-microB cable from the host computer to the Joule.  Is this just a straight USB cable?  Or is another USB-to-Serial adapter needed?
[20:46] <MarkB2> Looks like I've answered my own question: tracing through the expansion board schematic shows that all that's needed is a plain old USB-A to USB-microB cable.  Connector J9 is connected to the USB-side of an FTDI chip.
[20:46] <MarkB2> Happy New Year to all.
[21:36] <JouleUser> I'm trying to install plain Ubuntu onto an Intel Joule but after installation it fails to boot properly.  Is this an OK place to ask for help?
