This is the year that I booted up my pandora and realized it couldnt ssh (or be ssh'd from) modernly configured systems - which is obvious if you've been on the loop with changes to openssh, those RSA algos that internally use SHA1 got replaced with ones that use SHA256 (just saying this so...
In case you wanted something with which to interface the pandora ext port to whatever electronics that can deal with a 2.8V-output UART, i designed something :).

The schematic can be viewed in the pdf thats in github, and oshpark has pcb renders at...
It provides the pandora kernel/u-boot serial port (on the pandora side it is /dev/ttyO2 on the new kernels) behind an usb to serial converter chip (ch340g). That's pretty much it.
Modern linux has drivers for the usb-serial chip (named ch341-uart), and there are some cruddy windows drivers out...
I knew you were doing the pandora repairs (so i guess thats what defines recognition... atleast by one), and i appreciate what you've done. I didnt know of the other stuff though. Thanks for what you've done, and yeah dont do more than what you're happy with* :)
(*That's a thing I've also...
Yeah I'm still here, but if you want a faster reply than this (ingoreis got a pm... very late), maybe use other methods than mentioning in the thread (PM me, i think that should make an email notification, or find me on irc or something...)
Hey all, this thread has now become "urjamans ext port things" :P, but as i mentioned the simpler serial port adapter i was working on (has a ch340g usb serial chip), it's now as ready as it'll ever be, as in built and tested.
This is what it looks like:

This is a good post, and I've lately found out that I should've read this earlier...
I wasnt as accepting of others in life as i thought i was. I'm working on it, but it might be too late.
They made "one-off" huge ext boards for that... look it up in the wiki. (with IIRC an RS232 conversion chip that could understand the 1.8V logic and 2.8V power... expensive chips those).
Anyways I have a FT232RL circuit that i've proven works for pandora-uart to usb (for PC to debug with)...
With oshpark offering a 0.8mm pcb service, it is actually possible to have really cheap
breakouts (of whatever style you want) to go with the (relatively pricey) ext connectors,
but anyways posting this to show the one i designed:

I cant be bothered to find the ancient appropriate threads, and i think this info should be better available anyhows...
Firstly, yeah i think the MLO in my rescue images is an old one built for CCs (it boots a rebirth but w/ 256M of RAM....).
The thing is that i cant be bothered to actually...
