I thought it was clear that "things" was everything connected on the usb
ports. The problem is that this also means that the nettop/smartbook are
kind of not working too as ethernet/wifi/bt/hid devs are all connected
on usb [ they're all on the pcb ]. So, even if you boot on the mmc aka
the only storage available which doesn't need usb, you won't be able to
login.

ULPI transceiver vendor/product ID 0x0424/0x0006
Found SMSC USB3319 ULPI transceiver.
