Raspberry Pi 5 Gets a MicroSD Express Hat

I have had an Orange Pi 5 max for about six months, still can't get it to boot with a serial console attached which makes it hard to port any alternative operating systems to it.

Wouldn't that be a uboot issue? Perhaps you could piggy-back on this effort.

I think that my problem is similar to this [1]. Have tried more than one USB to serial adaptor with the same result, the adaptors work fine on other boards.

The board boots Armbian fine with nothing connected to the serial port.

I don't think so, it just doesn't power up with the serial cable connected.
