I'm going to get pines serial console connector for my pbp, Stuart raves about serial console.
I really don't like messing with taking the under cover off, Stuart has tape on the screws/screw holes on his pbp.
As I don't use the headphone connector used for the audio, the speakers are fine, can I just leave the switch that toggles Sound vs UART set to UART without affecting any audio output? So I can always have serial console availability?
You can try setting the baud rate in screen as 1500000 (1.5mbps) to correct the garbled text too.
Code:
screen -T screen-256color /dev/ttyUSB0 1500000
It appears you have a newer hardware variant of the Pinebook Pro. I believe I have the same hardware, since I replaced my original last month. I wiped Tow-Boot with the recovery image and u-boot works as Stuart designed the Slackware build process.
A permanent fix would be to replace the Tow-Boot with Slackware's u-boot. Which can be accomplished by running the Slackware ARM recovery image on your SD card. That is located here: https://docs.slackware.com/slackware...r_to_spi_flash

THANKS!
You're using the Pine64 version from their store? Mine malfunctioned similarly to yours. The initial boot loader seemed fine, but the second stage appeared garbled, much like yours. I suspect the serial settings might differ for the initial boot loader. It seems a Moyina adapter might be necessary; it's the only one I managed to get functioning with the PBPro.
