I cannot locate anything on 'getting started (gen2)'. is there a document?
the gen1 getting started mentions an LED on board that blinks. is this LED also on the gen2 board.
in short blink does not work on my gen2 board. any help would be welcomed
There is a LED on Gen2 but on a different location - it's directly beside the USB host connector and marked as "L".
Not sure which "getting started" you refer to and how you tried to blink. If you refer to the blink in Arduino ID: make sure you select the right board in "Tools->Boards". It will only work if you select Gen2 there
