Radxa e25 Image not booting

[Meestor_X]

The Radxa bullseye image looks to boot fine, but Armbian forky does not boot at all.

Ya, I know, but I haven't figured out how to work with these devices that have "built in" serial->USB adapters. The USBC becomes a serial port when connected to my computer, but that also powers it on, and it's not actually a port until the e25 has power. It's a catch-22. It needs power for the port to appear, and by the time the port appears and you've already missed part of the log.

 

The e20c is much better, it has a separate power and debug port. 🙂

Update... I figured out how to do it.

Oh, and the docs show the baud rate to be 115200 like normal devices, but no - it's actually 1500000 baud.
