Also, I don't have a PineA64, and have no plans to get one, so is there information somewhere for regular Linux users that I missed in my days of searching?I am using the serial device which was sold in the pine store with the rock64. I use picocom software ( on Archlinux) and specify the baudrate on the command line (-b 1500000). I believe you could also specify the baud rate on the command line for minicom. Serial console has been working fine for me..
Not having a serial console for boot is a non-starter for me. I'm now looking for info on how to get setup to build Ayufans' source so I can change the baud rate back to the standard default of 115200. Any pointers in that direction would be helpful too.
Thanks for the info. I tried the command line baud setting to minicom 2.7 ( -b 1500000), and that worked. I was still getting garbage, so tried a different USB to serial adapter (now using a Softway board), and I'm getting valid console output. I'm half expecting to see random garbage though, due to the high baud rate.
I still would like to know why such a high baud rate was chosen, and any pointers to rebuilding the code Ayufan has graciously provided, so I can build my own version with a 115200 console, for better compatibility with all USB to serial devices and apps.
