So... is anyone selling a proper (fully compatible) serial console cable for the Pinebook pro ?
My impression from reading older threads is that 3.0V is ideal, 3.3V usually works, and 5.0V (which the Pine64 store was selling as PBP compatible) is unreliable.
Have any stores stepped up to sell proper cables for this?
Does everyone just have to solder their own cables together?
I want to experiment with alternative bootloaders and maybe firmwares, and it sounds like a serial console would be essential for when things inevitably go wrong.
