[uart over SD port.]

Well it was a connector issue, I have changed connector and it worked like a charm, I have tested the device connector on S905, S905X and S905W with a success.

 

This is good news because we don't need anymore to weld any thing on the board to get a serial output, we could even setenv on u-boot without booting on android or even root it.

 

For those who are interested here is the link from where I have ordered the devices:

Micro-SD-Card-Breakout-for-Exporting-UART-and-JTAG

 

Have a nice uarting

Can you explain what you mean by connector? or post the instructions to make the connections between serial adapter and Micro SD Card Breakout?

I don't have this equipment.

 

 

Is there any way I could help with making it work ? it seems a dtb might be all that its needed since it is working already on other s922x devices.

The box is a completely mess. Just read up on different forums about ppl whom have plenty of problems with one thing or the other. In addition, it's an oven with temperatures around 70C without stress testing and it's thermal throttling and reducing cpu frequency in the manner of how often people breath...  I'm sad to say that you get what you pay for :/ 

I know that, which is why I wanted to turn it into a headless server using Armbian, right now I have it running Emby server with Android, works really well  but I would rather not use android at all

I do not plan to add support for this model.

Thank you for the reply, is there any particular reason?

Will this work on a GT-King ? if so, which DTB is needed? I tried all the G12x DTBs and none of them seem to work.

Edit: this is the UART log
