Yes, your SBC should be working in the sense that you have<br>confirmation that it ins't broken. Since your ethernet indicator lights<br>are blinking, it sounds like your hardware is working.<br><br>2. Once you've installed FreedomBox on the SD card, all you have to do<br>is insert the SD into the Cubietruck, plug in the ethernet cord, and<br>then plug in the power cord. No need to do anything else to the<br>Cubietruck before plugging in the SD and ehternet and power cords.<br><br>3. No, it is not necessary to install Debian first. The image you<br>flashed onto your SD card should be all you need.<br><br>It sounds like you've followed all the steps correctly, so I want to<br>learn more.<br><br>When you downloaded the FreedomBox image, which version did you<br>download? Was it under "stable", "testing", or "unstable"? And did you<br>make sure that it was for the Cubietruck? Just want to be extra sure here.<br><br>Also, did you check your router's interface to see if the FreedomBox<br>appears on your local network? You mentioned that you don't see anything<br>on Windows Network, but what about your router's user interface? In my<br>case, I was using a TP-Link router, which I could access by browsing to<br>192.168.1.1. Once I got to the router's interface and logged in, I saw a<br>map of devices on my network, and the FreedomBox was listed at a local<br>IP address like "192.168.1.8". So I entered that local IP address into<br>my browser, and I saw the FreedomBox interface.<br><br>Try to find the local IP address of your FreedomBox and enter it into<br>your browser's URL bar.<br><br>I hope we can get to the bottom of this!<br><br>Best,<br><br>Danny<br><br><br>Danny Haidar*<br>Vice-President for Product & Development<br>FreedomBox Foundation<br><br>* Not admitted to practice law in any jurisdiction.<br>Nothing in this email constitutes legal advice.<br>I cannot establish any attorney-client relationships.<br><br><br><br></pre></blockquote></div></html>
