weston won't start

[arrow53]

I'm unable to figure out what is wrong, but the weston service seems to have issues

root@coral-dev:~# systemctl status weston
● weston.service - Weston Wayland Compositor (on tty7)
   Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/weston.service; enabled; vendor preset: >
   Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Sun 2019-08-25 03:12:16 UTC; 4min 3>

trying to manually start with weston --tty=x fails (tried variety of values for x)

[     1] Failed to open device: No such file or directory, Try again...

I did notice the mendel install uses weston 3.0 and freescale (this layer) uses 4.0 but unclear why that should matter unless something in kernel/device tree is the issue.

this works fine wit an sd boot. booting from nfs is the source of the problem. No idea why but clearly not an issue with the layer itself.
