M2m serial connection

pheonixfire · May 26, 2018, 2:50am

Hi,

I’m trying to connect through the serial port however I don’t get data coming over the connection till the data rate gets to 460800, this and this line from the serial-console.txt “To use a serial port as console you need to compile the support into your kernel” seems to indicate I need to recompile the kernel.

Can anyone provide advice or a link to instructions on how to do this If it helps I’m run fedora 28 for my desktop, so doing the compilation myself shouldn’t be a problem computer power wise

any help is appreciated pheonixfire

Ok, so i’m not the only one with this problem. I was going crazy!

I cant see the boot of u-boot andif i got it right you should see the boot of the internal room looking for the spl. But the serial port contains only garbage!

I used the most recent image of ubuntu provided here:

http://forum.banana-pi.org/c/Banana-pi-BPI-M2-Magic/M2M-image

screen gives me the same result, just to rule out a random hunch I tried it with the terminals character encoding set to one of the chinese character sets and it removes the majority of the garbage characters.

Is there any way to confirm which language it’s using for boot?

any help is appreciated
