I have tried the following recommendations: 🎯 What the User’s Comments Mean in Plain Terms 1. They flashed all nodes using the BMC web interface (https://turingpi). 2. After flashing, they booted each node and waited for the OS to initialize. 3. They rebooted each node using the BMC (tpi power off -n 1). 4. After two reboots and apt-get update/upgrade, USB-A and HDMI became functional. 5. They used the BMC interface (via browser) and SSH to control and access nodes. 6. They emphasized the importance of performing updates and two reboots for everything to work correctly [root@turingpi ~]$ tpi info |---key----|-----------value------------| api : 1.1 build_version: 2024.05.1 buildroot : "Buildroot 2024.05.1" buildtime : 2024-09-03 17:33:38-00:00 ip : Unknown mac : Unknown version : 2.3.2 |----------|----------------------------| Im flashing both image types "Server" and "Desktop" at different times as I tried to configure node 1 with the ubuntu images (https://joshua-riek.github.io/ubuntu-rockchip-download/boards/turing-rk1.html) Im waiting for a wired keyboard and mouse to arrive just in case my bluetooth keyboard and mouse is the issue. Any suggestions ?

Ubuntu desktop images do not automatically configure the system. This means you must have access to an HDMI monitor, keyboard and mouse to configure the system. There is no other way to get into the system because ssh is not enabled and there are no users defined that would allow login through picocom from the BMC or a UART connection. Obviously, these requirements do not support desktop configuration in node slots 2, 3 and 4. Ubuntu server images automatically create a user with the credentials ubuntu/ubuntu and a hostname of ubuntu. The password for the ubuntu user must be changed on first login.
