The 86Duino will detect if it can boot up from the microSD card, or just boot up from built-in Flash.

If the 86Duino boot up from microSD card, you can use console redirection to control L86duntu (Please see chapters 4 and 6 of L86duntu).

If your storage drive is larger than the 8GB (e.g. 16GB, 32GB, etc.) allocated to L86duntu, you will notice that you cannot make use of all the storage. Please see how to manually extend the storage space in L86duntu.
