I get a bunch of gibberish when I plug the pi in and it boots up. I swapped the tx and rx on the pi so my laptop can send to the receive port. The ground is plugged into the ground on in the pi. Everything looks right to me. I used my Framework laptop and the serial console wouldn’t show up, so I switched to an Asus laptop and the serial device shows up. I choose 150000 as the speed and everything else was left as the default, I used mobaxterm and I can get to the console. Putty didn’t seem to work. Do I need drivers? Do I need to change settings? Thanks for your help everyone.
I bought a kit off of Amazon from youyeetoo. The TTL adapter looks like the one in this guide. I plugged the 3.3v cable into the 3.3v GPIO pin. Is that right? Or will I damage my board? I installed the SD card image and realized I have a snapshot, so I can’t get luci. I will look up a version that isn’t a snapshot. I made 2 SD cards, one with the image in the guide I mentioned above, and the other one is an image from openwrt, but I’m getting 50-200mbps download on the 5ghz ax Wi-Fi after setting the region, so I want to try the official banana pi image. I’m sure that one will have better network performance.
