I found a way to make it work reliably, the wires from the USB<>serial =
converter needs to be short (se pic) then it works without issues at =
1.5Mbaud
If I use the 1meter long cable from my usual adapter it fails just as =
you noticed.

I got it to boot by having a fat32 partition with just the kernel and a =
/extlinux/extlinux.conf file on it, then it boots just fine.
It see the eMMC and the SD-card so it should be able to get to a shell =
at least, need to get my build script finished.

I=E2=80=99ll check your patches from GitHub and get it integrated so the =
ball can start rolling :)

Thanks for getting us this far!!
