$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('woody', 'H')mm.. I tried to use a UART device that I already had to monitor the boot process, but it seems that the UART killed my microSD card. The card didn't just get corrupted; it was unusable afterwards. Did you connect your UART to the 4-pin console connector, or to the 40-pin connector?
The 4 pin connector. The UART that ameridroid provides is made for that.
I have a UART permanently attached to both of my odroids as well as different UARTs for an old pogoplug and my EdgeRouter Lite. The pogoplug is the monitoring end for the odroids, the N2+ for the pogoplug, and a RPi Zero W for the EdgeRouter. I run ser2net on all of those to provide telent access to the serial connections and then have a text editor that can open telnet connections so I can view the serial connections to any of the four devices from any of my macs. So I can, for example, upgrade the kernel of an odroid from my MacBook Air and then reboot watching the serial connection. It's great.
