Hi, I completed the board, and It seems to connect ok with Linux, since I get the following log in dmesg:
[ 2951.260017] usb 3-1: new full-speed USB device number 5 using xhci_hcd

I went ahead and downloaded the repetier host for linux, version 0.84, to make sure it is the same with the windows settings. I ran the configureFirst.sh as root, everything installed fine or was up to date.
I added myself to the dialout group.
I ran repetier and made sure all the settings were the same as step 2. I pressed connect and I only got the following:

I get no other messages, no temperature readout, a message saying there are 5 messages waiting. The manual tab does nothing for any of the axis buttons, nor does anything light up on the board. The oinly time a light blinks is when I hit the OK button on the manual tab. So there’s communication going on, but not much.
When I first plug the board in I get one flash from LD1. When I plug it in to USB2, I get two flashes from LD5 and LD6 then all lights go out.
I thought maybe the board was missing the firmware, so I did step 7, downloaded the firmware from the site, uploaded the Marlin.ino, shorted the JPROG pins while uploading and everything went across just fine.
Still nothing, even after I press the reset switch. It certainly looks like the board is discovered by Ubuntu, connects correctly to the actual device via the arduino software (And the lights flash while doing the upload) so I just don’t know what I could be missing. All voltages are correct on the x,y,z,extruder drivers.
When I select repetier Device Info - I get Device: unknown, lines send 16, bytes sent 221, errors, 0.
After the initial device assignment, dmesg reports nothing else.
Anyone have this working on Ubuntu?
