when i enable the original dtb file, the board is now working, I am
however succeeded in soldering a serial connection to the board.
The only strange thing is when i send from one side:
echo -en '\x00' > /dev/ttyS0 i receive 0x00 in hex
echo -en '\x01' > /dev/ttyS0 i receive 0x7F in hex
--> this makes the serial output unreadable since the mapping of
characters seems to be off, does anyone has an idea how to fix this?
--> i tried this with a baudrate of 300 to be sure the connection is
stable.
All Allwinner devices I've seen use a rate of 115200, it may be that
the serial port isn't enabled by default in u-boot and/or the
DeviceTree because of it being a tablet and it not having one by
default so you might nee to look at what needs to change for that to
work.
