Dreame L10 Pro not booting?

[tdcockers]

Are you already using Valetudo?

Yes, for a long time

Your questions

Hi all, hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Our Dreame L10 Pro that has been running Valetudo since new has been in storage for a few months, and I've been unable to get it working again since.

I've never used a breakout board, just connected the TX/RX/GND pins to a RPI4 and rooted and installed Valetudo that way. I'm connecting that way again but it seems like it might not be booting properly?

There is only a single line on the serial output from powering on to loaded chime is as follows:
>>Software start--GitVer:127071eaC CodeVer:"0.7.5" Build@Jan 14 2022-15:12:47

What am I looking at? I assume the serial connection is fine that I'm getting that readout. The vacuum is still functional because it chimes and still works fine when just manually pushing buttons.

I have had issues with the corruption of the /data partition previously and having to reinstall, but this seems to be something different.

Thanks

You're looking at the wrong UART. That's the MCU UART

Ah of course. Is the correct UART only available on USB, or is there different headers? I don't recall having to use USB at all previously? Sorry I didn't make notes last time and can't remember it has been so long...

The breakout PCB is labelled.
