Monitor Rock64 serial console with PineA64

[rmbusy]

What version are you using that supports 1.5MB?  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?

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.

 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..

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.
