 FML13V03 
 board (your DC-ROMA gen II model) probably needs something like u-boot, 
 similar to the FML13V01 board (the previous revision).

 boot 
 once flashed on any medium. AFAIK, the Gen II model is not supported by 
 Debian 
 yet either. Hopefully we can, once documentation and hardware is more 
 readily 
 available.

 open
