M2U boots with 3.10 kernel image. It used uart3 to control bluetooth and worked. For somehow when boot in kernel 4.20.2, system starts and find ttyS1 instead of ttyS3 (using dmesg | grep tty to see). Consequently no matter how to configure, Bluetooth won’t work. Does anyone know why? How to make system see ttyS3? I set overlay=uart3 in armbianEvt.txt. Not work either.
ALso here is an error message from USB/TTL serial consol. This is to use UART1. When tried UART3, same errors.
Applying kernel provided DT overlay sun8i-h3-uart1.dtbo
failed on fdt_overlay_apply(): FDT_ERR_NOTFOUND

Here is the boot up message using 4.20.2 kernel. It detected with /dev/ttyS1. I believed it’s wrong.

Here is another booting message from kernel 3.10. Note that the address of MMIO 0x1c28c00 correctly detected as ttyS3.
