2.7 Why isn't "my favorite package" available?

Some packages will not compile for the SG-1000 architecture, they exceed the hardware requirements and platform
purpose, or they are intended for hardware or uses not possible on the SG-1000.
As of January 5th, 2016 the list of packages that have been excluded from the SG-1000 is:
• blinkled
• freeradius2
• gwled
• LCDproc
• ntopng
• Open-VM-Tools
• snort
• suricata

2.8 Why do I see failure messages in the BIOS output while booting?

The U-Boot environment used by the SG-1000 prints error messages that can look concerning but are quite normal,
depending on the components installed in or connected to the SG-1000.
Note that both eMMC and Micro-SD cards are all considered "MMC" as they are Multi-Media Cards. eMMC is
embedded on the system board, and Micro-SD cards are a removable type of MMC.
The boot environment might state "bad device" but that only indicates that the device is not bootable, it is not a
comment about the status of the hardware component.
The following messages are normal without an Micro-SD card present
Card did not respond to voltage select!
*** Warning - MMC init failed, using default environment
** Bad device mmc 0 **
• In this case, there is no Micro-SD card present so it could not be initialized or used as a boot device.
The following messages are normal when booting from an SD card without a boot environment on the eMMC
Card doesn't support part_switch
MMC partition switch failed
*** Warning - MMC partition switch failed, using default environment
** Unable to read "u-boot.env" from mmc0:1 **
The following messages are normal when the boot environment supports booting from the USB OTG port, but there
is no bootable media connected to the OTG port
** Bad device usb 0 **
