minix neo x7 uart(serial console)

[bootlog]

We asked minix about the possibility to connect the x7 with a serial adapter to develop in kernel, but they answered that there was not this possibility.

GOOD NEWS - there is a possibility to do so. The test pads T1 (RxD), T2 (TxD) and T3 (GND) are to be used. The T1 and T2 print is not visible in the photo - both prints are hidden by the cooler panel.
!!! Please notice that beside the blank copper in-circuit test pads there is a solder pad connected to each test pad that is supposed to be used for soldering a cable.

Baudrate is 115200 by default boot and kernel settings.

GND can alternatively be picked from header J1, pin 4.

J1 is an additional USB plug - for what purpose ever. The pins are: 1: VCC, 2: D-, 3: D+, 4: GND

The two pads at T4 can be used to get the device into MASKROM mode when the T4 pads are shorted during boot.
