Indeed, I cannot get the console to display anything. Does this mean that the usb-ttl adapter that is provided with my order is even unfit, and I have to purchase another one? And, yes again, the only solution is to flash the eMMC. Really? That sounds unfortunate, as I prefer to keep things in factory settings, as an option. I guess eventually there might be a workaround with working on the boot manager? I have the second version of the card/firmware at present, which is the second one released in 2018 I think. It seems to not be fully open source although this was promoted... Sylvain sur K9 mail Android
