Serial console

The file /sys/class/sunxi_dump/write is not present on the PBP rk3399 based system.

So it is not yet clear how to use the serial cable with the PBP.

UPDATE

The wiki defines how the serial cable is to be used. The bottom of the PBP must be removed, and a switch must be toggled. See the wiki for further guidance.
I have found that once the switch is flippedd, in the default build I can use serial condole to see u-boot messages.  I get as far as the login prompt,  and then don't seem to be getting any response .  On Ayufans' bionic lxde running from the sd card,  I can't get any response at all on the serial console.  Are their some progs/services that need to be enabled or disabled?
