HI
Warning!
Even when starting my linux based Picocom V1.7 with cli option -b 150000. It will not run... says baud rate not supported.
I am having limited success with minicom, after about 30 hours struggling with putty, this works sometimes, more often it fails, but I can see some valid info on the boot process.
The only distro I have found to boot even part way is the stretch image. this never gets to the linux prompt, it stops at different points in the boot flow.
What was very exciting on stretch was that this blinding white led lit up for the first time showing the board had some signs of lfe!
Frankly, I feel that I need to put the rockpro board in a cupboard for some weeks and only get it out when things are more stable, nothing seems repeatable at the mo.
regards
Patrick
**I have good reliable serial output now** edit**
My linux distro comes with picocom 3.1 and I get "terminal ready" when I use the command "picocom -b 1500000 /dev/ttyUSB0". (I get weird question mark characters and sometimes little square boxes with dots inside them but never any readable text)
After trying two usb to serial adapters on my laptop I tried an odroid and rpi but they had pico 1.7 and gave that same error about baud rate not supported.
Im having a good time messing around with it. You can try the android build from the pine64 website if you want too see how fast the rockpro64 is.
