Edit Reason: sdcard
)
So an update- I ordered the following adapter from Sparkfun https://www.sparkfun.com/products/14050 which uses the CH340G Chip
uname output:
The following output is from dmesg:
I connected only the RX and GND from the serial adapter to ports 8 and 6 on the RockPro respectively (GND to 6, RX to 8)
I've tried both picocom and minicom with the following arguments:
sudo picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 1500000
sudo minicom -s -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 1500000
And i'm getting no signal on the console when powering on the RockPro64. I also tried different combinations of TX/RX to ports 8/10 on the board to no avail.
Unsure if it could be related to my OS/SDCard as well so I have tried a few different distros using both Etcher and the Pine64 installer. So far i've tried Ubuntu Bionic Minimal (ayufan), Bionic Desktop (ayufan) and Rasbian stretch.
Any ideas of where to go from here? at this point i'm starting to wonder if I could've gotten a bad board
Also it's possible that my laptop seeing the CH340G as a "CH341" is a potential issue? But not sure.
*EDIT*
I am reading in other forum posts that there should be some other white LED if the SDCard is able to boot? This is a brand new 64GB SDCard I bought from the Pine store so I don't know if that could be the issue. Also reading it's highly likely the SD Card slot on my board is dead, as apparently this is common. Any way to verify that before I go ahead and send this back for a replacement? This is starting to get very frustrating :/
