I attempted your fix to change the driver, with no change in results. Again, I think has to do with that the hardware only has a serial port (no video output). Being a limit of the hardware I am not too worried, its something I expected I would run into and have to work around either way. Also thanks for the heads up on AMD side of things, chances are I will be back with questions regarding that if I run into anything serious.

I think I am in a good state now to try some other things and create my own little application in the framework to talk to my target device. To the tutorials I go!

Below is the output of the fixes you suggested running on the hardware. This includes the other fix that got the demo to work in QEMU. I also attempted the other permutations (both in QEMU and on hardware) which I can supply if requested.

You may try the fb_boot_drv [0][1] instead of the vesa driver. Mainly
you let grub2 set up the graphic device and if this succeeds, the driver
will just us the prepared framebuffer and the fixed resolution. The
driver should work independent of whether you boot uefi or legacy boot,
as long as grub2 manages to setup things.

I attached a diff below where you see the possible set screws. Please
note that the patch in the demo.run is just a bad hack. If the
fb_boot_drv works for you, you should consider to create another
drivers_interactive-pc package which contains the fb_boot-drv instead of
the vesa driver.

[init -> drivers -> usb_drv] dev_info: applying AMD
SB700/SB800/Hudson-2/3 EHCI dummy qh workaround
Just as note, AMD is not regularly/officially tested/supported by Genode
Labs - but used/tested by enthusiasts nevertheless also with Sculpt.

I think its just the fact that APU series has no GUI that I am not
seeing anything else.
What does worry me though is this: "[init -> drivers -> platform_drv]
Warning: Out_of_caps during Device_component construction". Sounds like
I ran out of something, which may not be good considering my goal is to
hopefully get Sculpt working on this hardware.

Is there another demo/test application I can use that functions with
serial communication to further test and develop with (seeing as I don't
have an video ouput) or will I have to roll my own?

Thanks again!
