Install OpenWrt on A64+ without serial?

"Serial" means a USB to serial adapter, and is an extremely common (and low level) interface once you begin to do anything beyond GUI muppet stuff. Every aspiring hacker (or even, power user) should own several, as they are useful on all sort of embedded devices from uC to SBC, routers, hacking your TV box, console, car, etc... You get the picture.
The usual way is to order them off AliExpress (or similar) because they are only couple bucks apiece.
However, if you don't want to wait a month, there are plans on the Internet, and with the resources you stated you might be able to make one (or a few). They might even sell (or borrow, in case of HAM and other clubs) you one.
Incidentally, this is where it pays to become friendly with your local hacker space, HAM club, Linux User Group (LUG), etc...
