so long as you toggle the switch inside the pinebook the serial console
will just work.
Thanks Dennis!
I admit I never read that chapter carefully...
Now I got the console access for my 11' Pinebook 1080p, and a working
machine with console access only. The display shows until somewhere
around the 4s in kernel log. Then the display got black.
The console log is available at
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/EOCMI2i54UGoZTr~25gAdA
While the USB device info is
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/7fmGskvzl1iZ4c3ENYnpVA
I also tried to use the dtb from AOSC OS with Fedora Rawhide, the
display goes beyond 4s but it failed to mount the / so I did not go any
further.
I feel I need to wait for the device tree of 1080p version to be
upstreamed.
