I had the same experience with the beaglebone black, No hdmi and no usb
support = no good.
Why bother releasing an image that is not functional. I am a big fedora
fan & promoter, but I went
to debian wheezy 7.2 for my BBB ham radio setup. I create HR rpm's for
arm systems and
Pidora 19 alpa is a disappointment with the repository in a mess, too
many 'missing requires' ;
No ftdi support in the base image kernel, not able to update kernel
getting 'obsoleted' etc.
I can install my rpms ok, but cannot connect a ftdi device to use it.
I intend to do this software in rpm's for Pidora 19 & BBB > Fedora 20
when it is ready.
I wonder why Debian are so far in front of Fedora on these fronts?
Fedora always had a reputation for great hardware support, but not here
not now.

OK. But my problem is that the BBB not even seems to start booting
with the F20 image, even none of the USR LEDs turn on.
When booting the Debian image in exactly the same way (even the same
microSD card), the LEDs turn on after a second or so (and then I
release the boot button) and Debian boots fine.
I have currently nothing attached to the BBB, only a network cable and
a power cable (USB or external, I tried both in both scenarios).
Could that be a problem?
