Hehe. my bananapro successfully boots now. I'm not sure though what is now different in comparison to my previous attempts. Surely, the order of the pins was an issue (as i pointed out here https://lists.debian.org/debian-arm/2016/02/msg00035.html) On 02/12/2016 04:48 PM, Milan P. Stanic w

Sometimes it is worth making sure hardware flow control is OFF in minicom, and perhaps carrier detect too. Are you sure 9600 is correct? Most devices I encounter these days are 115200 it seems. https://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2015/03/msg00314.html seems to mention 115200 on a Banana Pro.
